LLN (10/22/20) – Are leased-on owner-operators contractors or employees? Truckers have a chance to express themselves to federal regulators on the issue.

And what happens when you are involved in a significant collision in your truck? Post-crash investigations have become an issue for some truckers. We’ll have some advice.
