In the height of irony Lytx and Samsara are listed on the ATA website as sponsors of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2024. Hilarious. The American Trucking Association allows them to be a sponsor when, in my opinion, hardly any companies have done more to harm the trucking industry than these two. How many truck driver careers have been cut short by their wrong opinion? It is laughable for them to have anything to do with drivers.

In what will be no surprise to anyone, Kodiak Industries has gotten exempted from roadside inspections and weigh stations in a pilot program. So, it can bypass and you can’t. All they have to do is certify that the truck is inspected and for the next 24 hours they are exempt. Isn’t that nice? Why can’t we do that? I could inspect my truck and certify it safe. We can’t because they don’t want you as a driver so this will allow Kodiak to be even more efficient and get you out of the truck sooner. No more expensive parking for the government to build, either. Win win right? I say win win lose.
