OOIDA to Congress: Truckers need help NOW - a podcast by Land Line Now News Team

LLN (2/17/21) – Lewie Pugh of OOIDA is rapidly developing a “tell-it-like-it-is” reputation. Last week, he added to that when he told Congress all the ways they let truckers down during the pandemic, and what the federal government both should have done, and can still do. Meanwhile, a new Congress means new faces on key committees that have a huge influence over trucking issues. OOIDA is working with those new members, especially over efforts to increase truckers’ insurance requirements. Also, record-setting cold weather is affecting freight and rates with trends that could continue for a couple of weeks.
