Welcome to News in Review for American Rig Radio, which always gives you something to think about. This week we’ll check the Environment section of Maverick USA chairman and CEO Steve Williams’ report upon which he based his testimony to Congress; some of the changes independent truckers are having to make; big wheels meeting in New York City; could CH Robinson’s business plan spark ideas for your trucking company?; US News & World Report /Money & Business blog wonders about opportunity in a rough economy; and a school in Carlsbad, New Mexico figures there are going to be jobs in the trucking industry.

Truckin’ Trivia

The glossary actually listed seven: bio-diesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, methanol, natural gas, and propane.

Here’s your new Truckin’ Trivia question: Name the states which meet at the Four Corners, and the state nicknames for each.
