It’s time for another edition of Washington Trucking Week on Nemo Nation Radio with host Jimmy Mac and guest Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs at the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA).

This week, we take a look at the latest news from Capitol Hill and what it means for professional drivers:

FMCSA to Truck Drivers: “Common Sense is Back on the Table”

Land Line reports that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is signaling a more pragmatic approach to regulation — one that actually considers how rules impact drivers day-to-day.

DOT Adds Restrictions to Non-Domiciled CDLs

The Department of Transportation has rolled out new restrictions aimed at tightening oversight of non-domiciled CDL holders. What will this mean for safety, enforcement, and the driver pool?

Jimmy Mac and Collin Long break it all down, giving drivers the inside track on what’s happening in Washington and why it matters behind the wheel.
