In today's long-overdue show, we've got stories on Teamster fights with Sysco and Yellow, FedEx is heading into a massive reorganization, lots of truck stop news, what's going on with truck safety; including crash rates for new carriers, new out-of-service criteria, driver-facing cameras, drug testing, E-log violation detection, automatic emergency braking legislation pending, and the safest state for truckers (this one might surprise you). We'll also talk about trucking's ongoing battle against environmental standards, how female truckers feel about their job, and much more.

In the listener feedback segment, you weigh in on tire recycling, checking your brake lights, and we'll have some follow-up on whether day cab drivers can utilize the split sleeper berth rule without having a sleeper berth.
