On this episode of Trucking with OOIDA, hosts Ashley Blackford and Scott Thompson tackle key issues making waves in the trucking world.

First, energy analyst Tom Kloza joins the show to unpack the growing concerns over rising fuel prices as tensions escalate in the Middle East. With decades of experience, Kloza offers a grounded perspective on what’s really driving the market—and what truckers can expect.

Next, we dive into Shell Starship 3.0 and its surprising role in the IndyCar Series, exploring how cutting-edge fuel efficiency technology is making its way from the track to the highway.

We also take a closer look at a renewed exemption challenging the 30-minute rest break requirement, a move that could reshape hours-of-service flexibility.

And to top it off—an update on the long-promised future of flying cars, and whether it’s closer than we think.

Trucking with OOIDA brings you the news, insight, and expert voices that get to the heart of what it means to be a trucker today.
