Episode description
A bill introduced into both houses of Congress could potentially have a major impact on how drivers are paid. We’ll discuss the GOT Truckers Act and what it means with Bryce Mongeon of OOIDA’s Washington, D.C., office. Also, the OOIDA Foundation has a new report that refutes claims of a driver shortage. Research Analyst Andrew King and OOIDA Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh join the show to separate fact from false narrative. And every year, dozens of truckers volunteer to transport a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. We’ll hear from OOIDA Life Member Harry Smith about his experience hauling the wall.
