Episode description

OSHA is cracking down on a company that thumbed its nose at hours-of-service rules – and it’s going to cost the company a substantial fine. Also, a Texas program that is designed to turn traffic lights green for trucks in city traffic is expanding to new parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Then, how do attorneys handle the situation when a client could be numerous states away from the court? Jeff McConnell and James Mennella of Road Law explain. And finally, Texas is making a huge investment in transportation, with roads getting a big chunk of the funding.
