The OOIDA (Owner-Operator Independent Driver Association), the international trade association representing the interests of independent owner-operators and professional drivers on all issues that affect truckers, sits down with Northeast News Publisher Michael Bushnell to discuss the railroad bridge across Independence Avenue at the east end of the Historic Northeast.
Listen to the latest episode of their podcast, Land Line Now, to learn more about truck-eating bridges. Although it may sound like something out of a Disney Pixar movie, but a quick Google search will bring up several across the U.S. that have gobbled up 18 wheelers. One in Missouri is making headlines again after a trash truck became its latest victim.
