Good morning, drivers. Here is what you need to know to start Thursday, October 15.

Rates flatten, not fall: FTR says spot rates have peaked but tight capacity should keep them strong, with growth slowing to low single digits in 2027.

English-proficiency comments split: The Sikh Coalition urged FMCSA to withdraw its out-of-service proposal, while ATA backed the goal with a standardized-test fix and OOIDA supported it outright.

First winter storm on I-80: Up to 12 inches and 45 mph gusts are forecast for Wyoming's Snowy Range, with advisories into Thursday afternoon.
