In this episode of Trucking with OOIDA, hosts Ashley Blackford and Scott Thompson shine a light on two of the biggest topics rolling through the industry:
First, they break down OOIDA Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh’s recent testimony before a Senate subcommittee. Lawmakers are beginning to shape the next highway bill, and Lewie’s message was clear: truckers deserve to be heard. Ashley and Scott dig into what was said, what it means, and why it matters to every small-business trucker on the road.
Then, we shift gears to technology with Missy Cummings, a national expert on autonomous vehicles and Director of the Mason Autonomy and Robotics Center at George Mason University. Missy joins the show to talk about what we actually know about AV safety—and what remains unanswered.
It’s a mix of D.C. policy, cutting-edge tech, and straight talk from the road. Buckle up.
