A fatal truck crash in Florida is raising concerns around Commercial Driver License (CDL) Standards and the importance of English proficiency for drivers. The U.S. transportation secretary is now threatening action against States that don’t comply with regulations.
Lewie Pugh, with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report with his insights. In his interview with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander, Pugh explained how the accident occurred and the concerns it is raising.
Pugh, a supporter of these English proficiency regulations, also explained how the transportation industry could be affected if states are penalized for non-enforcement, as well as how the rules are critical to keeping drivers and the public safe while also ensuring that the U.S. supply chain continues running smoothly.
SoilView’s Chris Nelson explains why soil testing is essential, how it enhances nutrient management, and why growers should focus on data-driven strategies to guide planting and fertilization this year.
