Truck drivers advisory panel talks retention

LLN (12/9/21) – The FMCSA is finally listening in a very formal way to truck drivers, as an advisory committee made up of truckers offered a report on driver retention. Also, Pennsylvania lawmakers are taking a stand against a plan to toll numerous bridges across the state, while Florida works on tightening up their left lane rules. And it’s become old hat to say that things are busy in our nation’s capital, but right now, in fact, our nation’s public officials are dealing with constituent concerns, vaccine mandate debates, the debt ceiling, defense spending, budget reconciliation, and future standards for vehicle emissions.
