Also, some truckers are expressing confusion and concerns about standard drug testing required in the industry. We’ll find out what’s happening and get a primer on what is required. And Marty Ellis is hearing from truckers about the stated goal of federal regulators and others of having zero accidents in trucking. And they have some strong opinions on the topic.
