The trucking world is divided right now — not just over freight, diesel, or regulations, but over who gets to operate on American roads and under what conditions. HR5688, the Domiciled CDL Integrity Act, has set off a firestorm inside the industry. Some support it. Some believe it doesn’t go far enough. Others think it goes too far.

In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Lewie Pugh, Executive Vice President of OOIDA, to dig into what the bill actually says, why OOIDA supports it, and how misinformation and social media outrage have reshaped the conversation around non-domiciled CDLs, immigration status, and public safety.

We talk about the difference between protecting American drivers and weaponizing fear, the impact of public perception on policy, and why organizations like OOIDA are now facing more pressure than ever to communicate clearly, transparently, and directly with the people they represent.

If you’ve been confused, frustrated, or fired up by this debate, this episode gives clarity — straight from the source.
