Episode description

OOIDA is once again urging the FMCSA to take action on broker transparency. We’ll discuss that – plus the latest on FMCSA pre-emption of meal and rest breaks in two states – with OOIDA Director of Federal Affairs Jay Grimes. Also, a transport company recently stepped up to help deliver parts for a project to assemble a C47 at Camp Toccoa in Currahee, Georgia. And dating back to the mid-‘90s, several decisions were made that sought to open up the U.S. southern border to Mexico-based motor carriers. The effort ultimately failed – and OOIDA can be thanked for that.
