LLN (7/9/20) – Eight states have changed their fuel tax – with six of them increasing what you’ll pay. Also, a large motor carrier who was among the first to use electronic logs – and who supported requiring them in all trucks – has received some leniency from FMCSA on the rules; meanwhile, a debate brews over the effect of smaller trucks on safety. And Google has discovered 25 apps on its store that can steal important personal information, while Congress contemplates another stimulus bill.
