Episode description
A wreck involving a truck and a teen driver spurred the NTSB to issue a safety alert about the dangers of marijuana use while driving. Also, the U.S. DOT is leaning into something called vehicle-to-everything, or V2X technology. So what the heck is it? We’ll explain. Then, OOIDA tour truck driver Marty Ellis is hearing about several issues from truckers, and high on the list is a decline in the number of tradesmen, including diesel mechanics.
