In this episode of Trucking with OOIDA, hosts Ashley Blackford and Scott Thompson dive into a major victory for truck drivers as the U.S. Department of Transportation unveils nine pro-driver initiatives. From boosting truck parking capacity and shelving the speed limiter mandate to launching hours-of-service pilot programs, the DOT’s announcement reflects years of advocacy—much of it driven by OOIDA.

Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh joins the show to explain the impact of these changes, how OOIDA helped make it happen, and what’s next for drivers across the country. Plus, we take a moment to celebrate Canada Day and salute our neighbors to the north.
