FMCSA nominee passes confirmation vote
LLN (6/22/22) – The FMCSA is one step closer to having a Senate-confirmed leader. We’ll discuss that – plus a call by OOIDA for more flexibility from a federal agency that rarely interacts with truckers – with Bryce Mongeon of OOIDA’s Washington, D.C., office. Also, before Marty Ellis took the wheel of the OOIDA tour trailer, he worked in the bee industry. Marty joins us to discuss his time as a bee keeper and hauler. And another supply chain shortage due to extreme weather to tell you about, and it’s a spicy one. Stephen Petit with DAT discusses the latest freight trends and which regions and markets are most affected by the weather.
