Good morning, drivers. Here is what you need to know to start Wednesday, October 28.
Mexico talks deal: Trucking groups and Segob agreed to four negotiating sessions after Monday's demonstrations across 19 states — but no one has confirmed all protests have ended.

PAM wants the eighth exemption: FMCSA is taking comments through Nov. 27 on letting PAM's skills-test passers drive home without a CDL holder in the front seat.
Arkansas blitz through Thursday 6 a.m.: Operation Highway Shield targets unqualified drivers, unsafe trucks and fraud statewide.
Netflix guilty plea: A driver admitted criminal vehicular homicide after a cab camera showed Netflix viewing before an I-35 construction-zone crash that killed two.
I-81 charges detail: Police say the charged driver admitted hiding a narcolepsy diagnosis to keep his CDL; hearing Nov. 4.
Ford recall: More than 102,000 pickups, mostly Super Duty, over speedometers that can stick or wander.
