Good morning, drivers. Here is what you need to know to start Tuesday, November 10.
Highway Shield reaches Maryland and D.C.: FMCSA and state police ran 941 inspections in Maryland, putting 191 vehicles and 92 drivers out of service, and 125 inspections in Washington, D.C., with 193 violations and 50 out-of-service violations. The same roundup adds local crackdowns in Virginia, Oregon and New York, an arrest on suspicion of DUI on I-40 in Arizona after a preliminary breath sample of 0.301, and a brake failure in British Columbia that could have been catastrophic.
Freight demand jumps 5%: SONAR's tender volume index hit 11,600, its highest since late spring, with rejections at 12.95% and flatbed rejections at 21%. Van spot rates reached $3.49 a mile and the van contract rate hit a 52-week high of $2.85 — while diesel eased about $0.06 on the week.
That’s the mile. Drive safe — full stories are on the homepage.
