OOIDA has issued a Call to Action on a bill now before Congress, HR3039, that would prevent FMCSA from issuing a requirement for speed limiters in trucks. Also, truckers continue to have problems with brokers who are less than honest. Among the big problems is double brokering, but some truckers are confused about what the term means. We’ll cover that, broker scams and more with Tom Crowley and Jim Jefferson of OOIDA’s Business Services Department. And Arkansas is cracking down on work zone speeders, and they’re going about it in a new way. Meanwhile, an effort in Texas would expand truck enforcement in several counties.
