INSIDE TRUCKING, Episode 16: Dec 7th Top Five https://youtu.be/KqMS9giBQIQ

December 7th, 2025 -- As we remember that day that will live in infamy today, SBTC Executive Director James Lamb reviews the top five topics inside trucking this week...

1. Another incident involving an alleged Mexican national operating a car-carrier on I-5 in Washington state for a California-based company without a CDL, medical card, or insurance hits a school bus and sends four to the hospital (luckily, no children were on the bus, only two adults). Juan Hernandez was arrested on Thursday after the six-car pile-up.
