LLN (10/27/21) – Several health issues are generating a lot of talk right now – what is and is not required on your U.S. DOT physical; and a recall of CPAPs.

So the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund has started a program called “Rigs Without Cigs.” Matt Sullivan of DAT explains how the supply shortage is showing up in the spot market before getting into the latest trends and numbers. And California is contemplating how to deal with supply chain problems. OOIDA says any effort has to fix some trucking problems.
