LLN (2/14/23) – A Georgia House committee is scheduled to discuss a bill to allow 90,000-pound trucks on roadways. Meanwhile, a bill moving through the Washington state Senate would give truck drivers operating throughout the state access to restroom facilities at shippers and receivers. Also, a series of electronic logging devices have been revoked from the FMCSA’s approved list. So what does that mean to the truckers who use them? And it’s not uncommon for a truck driver to put their own well-being in second place to get the job done. Donna Heidel of the American Industrial Hygiene Association talks about a new resource they’re offering that has safety at front of mind.
