Episode Details

In this jam-packed episode of Trucking with OOIDA, hosted by Ashley Blackford and Scott Thompson, we’re looking at the road ahead—for regulations and for some very large cargo. Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh joins us fresh off some big wins in Washington and gives a preview of his upcoming testimony on Capitol Hill as OOIDA continues its fight for drivers’ rights. Then, we shift gears into the wild world of hauling elephants with driver Stephen Fritz, who shares how he got into moving exotic cargo and what it takes to do it safely. Plus, we break down the recent confusion over medical certification, clear up what’s changed (and what hasn’t), and catch up on the latest news that matters to owner-operators and professional drivers.
