Automated surveillance has passed from science fiction into cold, hard reality for truck drivers. A federal agency has asked for feedback from the public on the topic, and OOIDA has given them an earful. OOIDA’s executive vice president recently participated in a panel discussion about understanding the needs of the trucking industry, put on by the Eastern Transportation Coalition. We’ll speak with the director of the Freight Program about the panel.

And on Aug. 5, trucks will line up in Indiana for a good cause.
