Washington Trucking Week

This week on Washington Trucking Week, host Jimmy Mac welcomes back Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs at OOIDA, to break down one of the most significant policy wins for truckers in recent years.

Collin unpacks the details behind U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy’s Pro-Trucker Package, unveiled as part of President Trump’s latest Executive Order. Backed by OOIDA’s persistent advocacy, the package includes long-awaited reforms that aim to cut red tape, reduce overregulation, and put more control back in the hands of America’s professional drivers.

From logbook flexibility to hours-of-service reforms, this landmark announcement marks a major victory for OOIDA and the independent drivers they represent.

Plus, Collin gives a behind-the-scenes look at how these wins came together in D.C.—and what truckers can expect next from the regulatory front.

This week on Washington Trucking Week, Jimmy Mac sits down with Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs at OOIDA, to discuss one of the most talked-about trucking bills in D.C.—The Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act, introduced by Senator Roger Marshall.

The bill would require all CDL applicants to pass an English proficiency test before getting licensed and would prohibit CDL exams from being administered in any language other than English.

This week on Washington Trucking Week on Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac checks in with Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs for OOIDA, to break down the latest developments from Capitol Hill that impact truckers nationwide.
