Truckers have friends in the House; not so much in Connecticut - a podcast by Land Line Now News Team

LLN (6/15/21) – The House Transportation Committee’s highway bill contained a lot of bad news for truckers – especially with insurance. But several committee members defended truckers and all they’ve done this past year. Also, Marty Ellis is hearing about carriers trying to turn employees into contractors and others who want to install ineffective “drowsy driver” tech. A highway bill far more favorable to truckers is about to be voted on in the U.S. Senate. OOIDA has issued a national Call to Action. And Connecticut’s governor, fresh off saddling truckers with a massive weight distance tax, is now preparing to hit them with climate plan that could spike fuel prices.
