LLN (2/26/20) – The freight market is starting to show some small signs of life after a weeks-long slump. Meanwhile, diesel prices continue to drop as oil plummets on coronavirus fears. Also, knowing how to handle a sudden loss of tire pressure is a critical skill every trucker should have. This year’s UCR fees are set, so it’s time for truckers to pay.
