Brokers – some of them are good and helpful, and others are not. We’ll take a look at some of the latest problems. Also, the FTC planned to act on predatory towing fees – but a final rule left the trucking industry in the dark. Then, since 2018, Shell has worked to show truckers how to make their rigs more fuel efficient. We'll learn more about the company's Starship. And brokers have pushed back against a proposed FMCSA rule to require much greater broker transparency..
