Manage episode 285518668 series 2407348
LLN (2/19/21) – Winter weather is on truckers’ minds as Jon Osburn visits Texas; but he’s also hearing about COVID restrictions, expensive fuel, problems with rates and more. Also, a one-time truck driver is using his new career to sound the alarm on behalf of his former colleagues. Dr. Michael Lemke of the University of Houston-Downtown explains why truckers should get higher priority for COVID-19 vaccinations, and how that could address long-standing injustices in the industry. And when California passed a law that some thought would force many owner-operators to become employees, many feared a federal effort to do the same. Now, those fears are becoming real.
