Tonight ABC 20/20 will highlight life on the road as a truck driver. According to the producer, the part that ABC filmed with an America’s Road Team Captain (Steve Fields, YRC Freight) and Interstate One, ATA’s Image Truck, will also be included in the piece but has been cut down. That portion should focus on highway safety as the reporter did a ride-a-long and we have been working with the producer on safety tips for the four wheelers. The truck driver they highlight in ‘Trucking Isn’t a Job or a Career, It’s a Lifestyle’: A Trucker’s Story looks professional and his story seems positive from the blog. Tune in tonight at 10 p.m. EST for ABC 20/20.

On Thursday, November 21, the House Small Business Committee, Subcommittee on Contracting and Workforce, will hold a hearing titled "Wrong Way: The Impact of FMCSA's Hours of Service Regulation on Small Businesses." The purpose of the hearing, which will be chaired by Congressman Richard Hanna who recently introduced H.R.3413, will be to examine the direct and indirect economic and operational impact of the new HOS regulation on small businesses.
The hearing will provide a great opportunity to highlight the negative impact of the new HOS regulation and gain strong bipartisan support for H.R.3413, the TRUE Safety Act.
