Washington Trucking Week | FMCSA Brings Back Common Sense & DOT Tightens CDL Rules | Road Gang Radio
It’s time for another edition of Washington Trucking Week on Nemo Nation Radio with host Jimmy Mac and guest Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs at the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA).
This week, we take a look at the latest news from Capitol Hill and what it means for professional drivers:
FMCSA to Truck Drivers: “Common Sense is Back on the Table”
Land Line reports that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is signaling a more pragmatic approach to regulation — one that actually considers how rules impact drivers day-to-day.
DOT Adds Restrictions to Non-Domiciled CDLs
The Department of Transportation has rolled out new restrictions aimed at tightening oversight of non-domiciled CDL holders. What will this mean for safety, enforcement, and the driver pool?
Jimmy Mac and Collin Long break it all down, giving drivers the inside track on what’s happening in Washington and why it matters behind the wheel.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
