LLN (4/14/22) – Washington state lawmakers have taken two big steps toward helping truckers who work in that state – ensuring the state’s rest areas stay open; and guaranteeing access to bathrooms at ports.

We’ll have the details on that – as well as efforts to get more veterans into truck and the lawsuit over hours of service changes. And a regulation that forbids coercing truckers into violating the regulations has been on the books for some time. However, what happens when truckers report that coercion has occurred?
