    Land Line Now, Feb. 19, 2024

    Land Line Now, Feb. 19, 2024

    Support is growing in our nation’s capital for two bills that have big implications for trucking – one that would stop a new speed limiter requirement and another that would give truckers access to bathrooms at shippers and receivers. Also, shopping for insurance will never top the list of “fun things to do,” but it doesn’t need to be quite so painful.

We’ll explain how it happens and how you might avoid it.
