In the wake of the record number of comments filed on the hours of service rulemaking several years ago, followed by further legislative advocacy on the part of individual business owners, drivers and so many others, TCA's Dave Heller contends the trucking industry is a force to be reckoned with. Engagement with government on the top issues in the industry is key to changing things for the better. On CSA, the Safety Fitness Determination rulemaking upcoming represents a key opportunity to begin to

A few Ovedrive readers had thoughts on camaraderie that’s fallen by the wayside given what many see as an increasingly adversarial relationship between truckers and law enforcement at the scale houses and on the road. In this mailbag podcast, readers react to the story of owner-operator Kenny Capell’s arrest and his case’s subsequent dismissal, which we reported on at the following link: http://www.overdriveonline.com/kenny-capells-obstruction-of-justice-case-at-the-scale-house-in-his-own-words/

The charge stemmed from his being awoken twice over the course of two inspections in just a few weeks by the same officer while he was on his 10-hour rest period in the sleeper of the truck, driven at the time by his wife. Ultimately, Capell would like to see it become common practice in law enforcement — whether by new law or by better recognition of existing protocol — to better respect the job trucking professionals do by refraining in cases where there is clearly no reasonable suspicion of

Bob Purcell argues that, even today, it makes sense for an 18-year-old driver to have the leeway to operate interstate. At once, the way the insurance market works for owner-operators in their early 20s with their own authority is in many ways a huge barrier to starting out young. Premiums can cost well upward of $10K annually for a one-truck operation. That, another caller argues, needs to change. Find more discussion via
