That’s what the VCP does, and that’s why OOIDA’s Truckers for Troops campaign dedicates itself to supporting the nonprofit. Jennifer walks us through how you can as well, and the difference even a small donation can make.

Truckers for Troops week continues with Chris Admire, executive director of the Veterans Community Project. Yes, it’s a tiny home community for veterans who need a place to live while they get their lives back on track. But it’s also so much more, most notably a place to get help in any form it’s needed, no matter what, no questions asked. Failure is not an option, and that attitude informs every decision VCP makes.

There is no hotter topic in trucking right now than non-domiciled CDLs – and while the Trump administration has made enforcement a focal point, long-standing changes will take an act of Congress. Enter Representative David Rouzer of North Carolina, who recently introduced a bill that would create stricter requirements for the issuance of non-domiciled CDLs. The congressman joins the show to tell us what prompted the move – and why he feels the legislation could pick up bipartisan support on its way to becoming law.

Andrew King hates to be the bearer of bad news, but there are new, troubling signs that the freight market may be headed for significant hardship. Nobody wants to hear that, and it’s hard to believe things can get much worse, but the director of the OOIDA Foundation says the data out there can help people make more informed decisions about their business.

When it comes to roadway safety, the iron is hot, and OOIDA isn’t waiting for anyone else to strike it. With all the focus on English-language proficiency measures and non-domiciled CDL rules, the Association is calling on Congress to use that momentum to enhance driver training, licensing and qualification standards. After all, the issues go hand-in-hand. Collin Long, OOIDA director of government affairs, makes the case.

There are a lot of great trucking-centric channels on YouTube. “Trucking Made Successful” is one of them. If you’ve ever watched it, you know Miranda, who helps people make sound business decisions based on current conditions in the market. But it wasn’t that long ago that Miranda was teaching herself. In fact, she still is – and perhaps that’s why her content resonates so much with people, to the tune of 129,000 subscribers and 11.3 million views.

Judge Tommy Fowler has concerns about autonomous vehicles – but they may not entirely line up with yours. The judge for the Craighead County District Court in Arkansas says current laws on the books are nowhere near ready for the long list of new challenges that driverless cars will – and already are – unleashing. Judge Fowler details his concerns from the perspective of the law.
