Episode description
NHTSA has formed an advisory committee on underride protections – a prelude to a possible regulation to require them on trucks. We’ll have the details. Also, FMCSA is proposing a significant increase to UCR fees for 2025. And some truckers are selling or transferring their authority to someone else. So why is that, and what’s involved? We’ll get answers about that and more. Then, more and more states are taking a stand on autonomous trucks in an effort to slow down the push for those vehicles. And Florida considers changes to its left-lane rules.
