Episode description

It’s a familiar frustration to any trucker – getting access to a restroom at the loading dock. We’ll tell you about an effort to fix that. Also, we’ll take another look at the driver shortage myth. Then, ELDs had Congress’ attention last week, and OOIDA’s Lewie Pugh was there to explain truckers’ point of view. And the Interstate 55 bridge over the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tenn., is at the end of its useful life. We’ll learn about plans to replace it.
