Both FMCSA and NHTSA are at it again with FMCSA holding an “I-81 Unsafe Driving Week” running from June 20th to the 24th. NHTSA is also in on the action, running its own campaign targeting speeders and distracted drivers. That federal agency's event runs from June 21st until August 14th. Abbott Laboratories shuts down againJust when everyone thought the baby formula struggles were starting to ease up, Abbott Laboratories had a little flooding issue and had to shut down again.

Things we do to get by in a pinch.Is it time to invest in a “new to you” truck and trailer?Truck auction prices are finally falling as demand at the auction block starts to ebb.

Nevertheless, the two find themselves together and at sixteen years old, Sadie becomes Mrs. Joseph Goodman, Jr. For many years the could thrives, prospers and loves each other until a totally unexpected occurence threatens to rock their seemingly unbreakable bond.
The problem with a grass-roots movement is often determining which blade of “grass” will speak for the group. That's been a visible issue with the small trucking business protest, now in its third week in Washington. A review of the signs posted on the 100 or so parked trucks along Constitution Avenue reveals demands for respect; broker investigation, regulation or transparency; elimination of electronic logging devices (ELDs); repeal of hours-of-service (HOS) regulations; and a few other causes thrown in for good measure. Reading through thousands of social-media comments by protesters and supporters only muddies the water further. One can imagine a make-believe scenario where the proverbial genie appears to the protesters to grant them three wishes ... and sets off a weeklong argument about what those wishes should be. Enter the United States Transportation Alliance (ustransportationalliance.org). Conceived in the notion that the organizations with lobbying power in government exist to serve everyone except small business truckers, USTA, a 501c6 nonprofit, gives voice to the “little guy.” The hundreds of “little guys” protesting in Washington have need for such a voice. As Mark Meadows, President Donald Trump's chief of staff addressed an assembled group of protesters on May 14, he asked, “So, you like Mike?” The crowd erupted in cheering and applause. They were cheering Michael Landis, CEO and founder of USTA. No vote was taken to elect him spokesperson, but the trust he has garnered among the protesters makes him an obvious choice. In an exclusive interview with The Trucker, USTA's president and co-founder Kevin Steichen, along with Ingrid Brown, chairperson of the organization's corporate relations and safety education, spoke about the protest, the FMCSA's recent final ruling on HOS regulations, and the purpose of USTA. The FMCSA ruling wasn't entirely a surprise. “We're working hand in hand with the FMCSA,” Steichen said. “We attend meetings with them monthly.” Although USTA has input into FMCSA decisions, the organization must wait for the final outcome, just like everyone else. Steichen advised patience with the new rules. “Third-party ‘interpretation' sucks,” he said.” That's why we want to read every work and then read it again, so that when we do comment, we're commenting on facts and not what someone thinks.” Reading the 232-page ruling takes time and could result in communication with the FMCSA for explanation of some of the provisions included. The latest HOS revision is only one of the things the USTA board has been working on. “We are partners and stakeholders in the ‘Our Roads, Our Safety' campaign at FMCSA,” Brown said. “They brought us in around April of last year and we've been a part of it ever since.” More recently, USTA became concerned about personal protective equipment not being available to most truck drivers. “USTA was instrumental in putting together the $75,000 in PPE that is being distributed to drivers, free,” Brown said. “Now we're working on the next $50,000.” While progress on individual issues is important, USTA's primary mission is to represent the driver. There are no products or services, save for a hat or T-shirt, to sell to the organization's membership. Membership dues and donations don't come close to covering the costs of travel, lodging, food, parking and other expenses incurred on each trip to Washington to meet with lawmakers or the FMCSA. “Being that they don't drive (a truck), sometimes they don't understand what we do. We don't just throw emails at them; we sit at the table and discuss the issues. That's who we are,” Brown explained. “It can be frustrating to work with FMCSA, but I've been doing it for two years,” Steichen added. “We have a love-hate relationship with those guys, but we make it work. Our role is to bridge the gap between FMCSA and the drivers in our industry.” Persistence has been key to the organization's success in gaini...
LISLE, Ill. — International Truck, Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay have collaborated to purchase and distribute more than $75,000 of personal protective equipment to truckers in need. “While large fleets have a solid distribution network to provide protection to their drivers, many drivers for smaller fleets and independent drivers, like myself, are on our own,” said Ingrid Brown, principal for Rollin' B LLC and a company driver for Fleenor Brothers Enterprises LTD. “Hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and masks are hard to come by these days,” Brown continued. “International Truck, Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay doing this provides a great comfort. I can protect myself, assist in slowing the spread of this virus and still do my job.” A truck driver for more than four decades and an advocate for the millions of truck drivers on the road, Brown has publicly shared the realities of life on the road during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Truck drivers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, regularly coming into contact with people as they deliver critical supplies across the country,” said Jordan Graft, president of TriumphPay. “We were compelled to take action after reading about Ingrid's troubles sourcing PPE and purchased $25,000 worth of supplies. Thanks to International Truck, we are not only able to get these goods into the hands of drivers who need it most but are also able to add to the total amount of PPE supplied.” International Truck, Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay have each purchased $25,000 of critical personal protective equipment to be distributed through select International Truck dealerships in the U.S. and Canada. Utilizing Navistar's North American commercial-parts distribution network to ship the items, participating dealerships are collectively equipped with more than 6,500 masks and 6,000 eight-ounce bottles of hand sanitizer to share with drivers as they come in for service. Personal protective equipment will be distributed at these dealerships while supplies last, complete with personalized thank-you cards from International Truck employees and their families. “Masks and disinfectants are still sparse at stores, making it difficult for drivers to protect themselves,” said Michael Cancelliere, president of Truck at Navistar. “We're fortunate to partner with Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay to make it easier for drivers to obtain necessary PPE in a location that's safe for them, their vehicle and load. This is just another way we are able to show our customers and the industry that International cares and we're with you for the long haul.”
The need for greater parking capacity, well-managed, throughout the nation is no secret. The need along Texas lanes was the subject of the lively discussion Overdrive held at the Great American Trucking Show last month, devoted to parking. In today's podcast, you'll get a full window into that discussion, aimed at engaging with Texas DOT freight planning branch manager Sherry Pifer and others from the agency as they re-evaluate their own approach to marshalling public resources and create partnership with private companies toward parking improvement. The discussion could well provide a model toward engaging with other states, too. Along the way you'll hear from a multitude of owner-operators, drivers and other drivers in attendance, as well as owner-operator Ingrid Brown, Clark Freight Lines driver Jack Smith and former owner-op Scott Grenerth, who moderated the discussion. Grenerth, as regular listerners will know, is part of the Truck Specialized Parking Service company.
Owner-operator Ingrid Brown started trucking as a teenager in 1979, and she's been on the road since. In this edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast: Her reflections on her 40-year career, many of those spent as a single-truck owner-operator, as well as her recent involvement in FMCSA's Our Roads, Our Safety campaign and her ongoing bout with various forms of skin cancer.
