LLN (2/26/21) – Changes have been made to the PPP – or Paycheck Protection Program – that should make it easier for you to get some much needed help. Also, why more drivers are complaining of getting stuck under loads, and knocking down some road rumors about CARB, the COVID-19 vaccine and medical card renewals. Jon Osburn has plenty to deal with, from frigid weather and rising fuel prices to the continued restrictions from COVID-19; meanwhile, he’s keeping track of which truck stop restaurants are open. And by tonight, the U.S. House is expected to pass the presidents $1.9 trillion dollar pandemic relief plan – we’ll discuss that, an effort to include more truck parking, and whether infrastructure is next.
