officials.

and direct answers from Sr. Trooper
Monty Dial with Texas Highway Patrol, Commercial Vehicle
Enforcement Division, and other law enforcement officials.

Trucking Radio Network from midnight till 5 a.m. (CT).

Ask The Law™ “Q & A” Column:
It’s been a year now since our first column appeared in 10-4
Magazine, Movin' Out and The Trucker. The Ask The Law “Q & A”
Column was put together for the people who cannot get on the
Internet to keep up-to-date with currant regulations, misunderstanding
of some laws and Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) law changes. The
questions come from our radio and E-mail programs from CMV drivers.
Answers come directly from law enforcement agencies that work with Ol'
Blue, USA to help drivers and fleets keep safe.

“Safety Center”™ -
June 7 – 9 at The Truck Show -
Las Vegas:
Ol' Blue, USA is setting up its “Safety Center” at The Truck
Show - Las Vegas to bring the ultimate information to the CMV
driver. This year Ol' Blue, USA
is very proud to announce that the Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) will
again be working with us.
Ol' Blue, USA 's Ask The Law™ Programs have been bombarded with
questions regarding the new Hours-of-Service regulations. For this reason, Ol' Blue, USA is
bringing back our large logbook page display board. A trooper from NHP and Staff
Sgt. Jim Brokaw from Nebraska State Patrol will be on hand to
answer questions and help with your logbooks.
Sgt. Brokaw developed the Hours-of-Service presentation that can be
viewed on the Ol' Blue, USA Website. Go to http://www.AskTheLaw.org and then click the button that says “Log Book Presentation.”
