Trucking Alliance Featured in HDT Editorial On Compensating Crash Victims

Deborah Lockridge of HDT (Heavy Duty Trucking) recently interviewed Lane Kidd, managing director of the Trucking Alliance about the industry’s public duty to improve safety and to fairly compensate crash victims. Kidd explains why trucking companies should be required to have higher minimum insurance limits than Congress required more than 40 years ago.
