Vaccine mandates and exemptions: an update

<p><strong>LLN (11/3/21)</strong> – Two federal vaccine mandates are in the pipeline. We’ll cover the two, and a member of the U.S. Senate trying to exempt essential workers – including truck drivers – from them. Also, there are good, honest brokers who follow the rules and treat truckers well. And there’s the other kind, who generate difficulties for the truckers. So what’s a trucker to do? And what makes demand on some lanes, with certain freight types red hot, while others remain stone cold? Dean Croke of DAT says he’s been getting that question quite a lot over the past 18 months. He’ll offer up the answer, before jumping into the latest trends and numbers in the spot market.</p> <p>0:00 – Newscast.</p> <p>9:59 – Broker problems.</p> <p>24:48 – Hot and cold running freight.</p> <p>39:41 – Vaccine mandate.</p>
