Thank you @SenatorFischer for leading the charge to eliminate freight fraud in the trucking industry! 🎉 Truckers are struggling, and fraud is forcing many out of business. 👉 Tell your lawmaker to support broker reform: fightingfortruckers.com/policies/broke…

Truck drivers have passively floated the idea of baking truck parking fees into their rates. One group of truckers in Nevada may do just that if county officials don't address the local parking shortage. 🔗 tinyurl.com/25245788

If you're a truck driver and live near Blacksburg, Va., you can make nearly $1,000 for participating in a driving simulator study. It'll take no longer than 17 hours, so that's a nice hourly rate. More details in the link below. news.vt.edu/notices/2025/0…
