Washington Trucking Week: OOIDA’s Lewie Pugh on DOT Crackdown and the “Driver Shortage” Myth | Road Gang Radio

On this episode of Washington Trucking Week with host Jimmy Mac, we’re joined by Lewie Pugh, Executive Vice President of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA). Lewie dives into the latest headlines from the Hill — including the U.S. Department of Transportation’s crackdown on CDL mills and recent coverage challenging the long-debated “driver shortage” myth. OOIDA has long advocated for restoring training standards and professionalism in trucking, and Lewie shares the association’s reaction to DOT’s new measures and what they mean for both truckers and highway safety. As OOIDA President Todd Spencer puts it: “Secretary Duffy and FMCSA Administrator Barrs are right to crack down on CDL mills and the trucking companies that rely on unqualified drivers. Years of misguided ‘driver shortage’ policies have flooded America’s roadways with poorly trained newcomers operating 80,000-pound trucks and innocent motorists are paying the price. Trucking is a skilled profession, not cheap labor. We applaud the Trump Administration’s commitment to restoring standards in trucking that will not only save lives, but help improve professionalism in our industry.” Learn more about OOIDA’s work and policy updates at: Website: https://www.ooida.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFlqc2Q4dkE5LXJrS2VVVjR2bEtjaVhsNl9NQXxBQ3Jtc0tsUnJzUVdKREJPWlI3bXZ3UTlaVHVrcUFHV2Y4emRmdi1XLUdES0xyZl9oeElILVJmOGxNS080UC04amRVQ0x1TGwwMlEzaEpNemVVNkVDM3RHdm9iY3FPOXJVdnB1YmlWVENwWTl6Y0ZEVFhnMFczbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ooida.com%2F&v=1ns9mXvcx5o] YouTube:   / truckersooida  [https://www.youtube.com/user/TruckersOOIDA] Facebook:  / ooida  [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVMxbENBX2VvS2E5RVJvbGg2ZmVObS1Nc1ZQd3xBQ3Jtc0ttMXBLbHVJX3Z6aHNrS3FZOGFZZUM1UkpiTnZma2xQRURqMUlWZ25RRlVYMUhRNEhvcUNDX2tSRzZRTHZHVnFXT0xSd0Y4NDJuUF9TNEMxam1PSFBDOVVlTE9MSThrRE1QV2t0bENqUE5udkJpR19uUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FOOIDA%2F&v=1ns9mXvcx5o] X (Twitter):  / ooida  [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUJqTTd4M2Q5bXFYcDFSc0R0U3JSY0dURkVJUXxBQ3Jtc0trT3YxWHBTVm10azl5NGExU2l4U2J3U3Nabm1mREJOLU1MTWw4SmRjeWRZcnM0eC0zVHllLVRTYUJoRXQ4Y2lrRTZYeXF4M2xXc0NuQnJkUk9BV0Z5RjJET2dzc3pIcm1XeV9pZ2hKektoS0ltMVdXcw&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FOOIDA&v=1ns9mXvcx5o] Instagram:  / ooida_truckers  [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblVxbDdreTVRWGZwVDRZRzI4T3BpOEVTOHJGQXxBQ3Jtc0ttOFZlSkNqUzFvNkhhRXo2WkZjczVqZlR5VUdyUFRsczVrcGhjZVV2Y3ZybGJwMUN5eWFnNmV3N1NCbTVueW5TeGJmWGxfakFiRE54VHZ0dkpVZHA1YjZtRmwzRVV6NG8xMERwR1c1S2R4U1EzRlprVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fooida_truckers%2F&v=1ns9mXvcx5o] Read more on this week's topic: https://landline.media/english-profic...
