OOIDA sues Minnesota over CMV enforcement

More than six years’ worth of citations and out-of-service orders issued to truckers by the Minnesota Highway Patrol aren’t worth the paper they were written on, according to a lawsuit filed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association.

But then I got to noticing that nobody [...]

The REAL credit here deserves to go to [...]
