This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett welcomes Shannon Newton, President of the Arkansas Trucking Association, to discuss the significance of Truck Driver Appreciation Week and the vital role truck drivers play in everyday life. The conversation covers public perception of drivers, industry challenges such as parking shortages and economic pressures, and recent legislative efforts around CDL standards, towing reform, and truck weight limits. Key takeaways include the importance of recognizing and supporting truck drivers, the need for consistent industry standards, ongoing advocacy work to improve conditions for drivers and the trucking industry as a whole, and so much more.
