LLN (7/9/20) – Eight states have changed their fuel tax – with six of them increasing what you’ll pay. Also, a large motor carrier who was among the first to use electronic logs – and who supported requiring them in all trucks – has received some leniency from FMCSA on the rules; meanwhile, a debate brews over the effect of smaller trucks on safety.
