Listen "Mailbag: More voices on pay, ELDs and proposed safety rating tied to roadside inspections"

Episode Synopsis

Following Overdrive Radio's prior podcast in this series -- "Mailbag from the 'driver wage shortage'" -- more voices here on a growing sense that regulated transparency in freight transactions with brokers could go a long way to improving the income situation for owner-operators. Two more views, too, on prospects for new programs, from mandated ELDs to FMCSA's proposed new safety rating system, to have a beneficial effect on highway safety, imposing only unnecessary constraints or more complexity ripe for problems.
