🚨 Trucking Industry Update 🚨
❖Parking Progress: Congress finally approved a $200 million down payment to build more truck parking. It’s a start to solving a dangerous daily headache for OTR drivers.
❖Clear Rules on Drug Testing: Reminder from the DOT, federal rules still apply. Even with state medical programs, a positive ma*****na test remains a violation for CDL drivers.
❖Let's talk pre-trips: Roadside compliance checks are pulling over 1-in-3 trucks for bad brakes and bald tires. Don't leave the yard without kicking those tires!
Stay safe, watch your logs, and keep the wheels turning! 🚛💨
