We’re expecting new leadership at the U.S. Department of Transportation and big activity regarding regulations over the next few months. Also, the Truck Leasing Task Force recently wrapped up its mission of examining lease-purchase plans. And Truckstop’s Brent Hutto gives an overview of 2024 and a look ahead to the rest of 2025, as well as current market conditions.
