In this episode of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac welcomes Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs for the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), to discuss two pressing issues straight from the pages of Land Line.

First, they break down the findings of a recent Land Line report showing that truckers pay nearly 20 times more into the Highway Trust Fund than the average passenger vehicle—an imbalance that continues to fuel frustrations across the industry. Why are truckers carrying such a disproportionate share of the nation’s infrastructure costs, and what can be done about it?

Then, the conversation shifts to the controversial topic of "Trackers on Truckers," a privacy and surveillance debate reigniting in Washington. With talk of location-tracking mandates potentially returning in the next highway bill, Collin offers insight into what this could mean for small business truckers, how OOIDA is responding, and what’s at stake for drivers on the road.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in transportation policy, driver rights, and the future of trucking regulation.
