Podcast Show Notes
TD174: Hurricane HOS Exemptions And Hauling FEMA Loads, Deregulation And CA EPA Standards Explained, EV Adoption, & More
In this week’s show, I first clear up some goofs from last week. Then we talk about ID tags on trucks, Hurricane Ian HOS exemptions and tips on hauling FEMA loads, a cool video explaining deregulation, what makes a professional driver, and finally we discuss electric vehicle adoption and I finally learned how California got so much clout when it comes to emissions standards.
All that, plus more news stories, and of course, listener feedback involving Mario Kart, trucker spy cameras, HOS elimination, and podcast reviews.
