Require speed limiters? OOIDA says no

LLN (3/8/21) – The ATA is once again pushing for speed limiters in trucks, and OOIDA has stepped up to oppose the move. Also, Congress continues to slowly move toward the next highway bill.

The recent winter storm in Texas disrupted refinery output. We’ve seen the short-term effects. Now we’ll discuss the possible long-term effects with an expert. And are you leasing onto a motor carrier? You’re probably going to need secondary liability coverage. We’ll explain what you need to know about that – and what questions you should be asking.
