LLN (9/29/21) –The first GBATS in three years was a success by any measure. We’ll hear from a longtime member of OOIDA, from a very young driver with a very small truck; and those who convoyed for Special Olympics. The ports are backed up, and that is clogging up the supply chain. We’ll take a look at the effect of all those large container ships waiting to unload, as well as the latest spot market numbers and trends. And Congress is facing some serious deadlines, including a needed vote to prevent the government from shutting down and another to keep the U.S. DOT operating. But what are the possible consequences if they fail?
