FMCSA Administrator Robin Hutcheson is resigning. What does that mean for current and future rulemakings, most notably the speed limiter proposal? Also, we’ll have a roundtable discussion to analyze the latest attempt at increasing a motor carrier’s minimum liability insurance, to break down a new broker rule and more.
