California tries to protect port truckers - a podcast by Land Line Now News Team

So what systems require some attention as the colder months approach? And the feds pay states to carry out truck enforcement, distributed through the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program. Every year, those states have to file a plan with FMCSA. So what’s in those documents? And how does that affect you?
