LLN (3/25/20) – The COVID-19 outbreak is having a massive impact on freight and rates – and it’s not bad news. Also, the Senate’s emergency aid bill offers help to America’s small businesses. We’ll explain what that aid is, and how it might help truckers. Truckers need to take some basic steps to avoid being a victim of cargo theft during the COVID-19 crisis.
