PRO Act, authority and lease-purchase advice

<p><strong>LLN (5/28/21) –</strong> Marty Ellis is getting ready for his first really big truck show, but in the meantime, he’s hearing from truckers worried about the PRO Act and thinking about getting their own authority, while he offers some advice on lease-purchase plans.

One will take you back in time to meet one of the Lone Star State’s most interesting historical characters. Another will get you up close and personal to a one-of-a-kind historical truck. Scott also talks to a trucker whose business is hauling one of Earth’s most important species.
