Episode description

The Department of Transportation has a nine-point plan to improve truckers’ lives – and two hours-of-service reforms are a key part of it. Also, an ad campaign for a bread company eventually led to trucking’s best-known song – “Convoy” by C.W. McCall. We’ll tell you how it happened. And Land Line Now’s Mark Reddig, Scott Thompson and Ashley Blackford gather in studio A to discuss some high points from the program’s two decades on the air.

0:00 – Hours-of-service reforms are on the table – what’s next?

09:55 – How the trucking anthem “Convoy” came to be

38:43 – A final look back at 20 years of Land Line Now
