Jimmy Mac wades into the swamps of Washington DC with OOIDA’s governmental team to make sense of the ongoing events in the nation’s capitol. It’s the information inside the bills, the players that help shape them, and what the listener can do to make themselves part of the process.
In this week’s edition of Washington Trucking Week on Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac sits down with Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs for the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), to discuss the latest developments from Capitol Hill that affect America’s truckers.

SAFE Trucker Act (H.R. 5800) introduced by Rep. Jeff Harrigan (R-NC), focused on English language proficiency requirements for commercial drivers.
