A major critic of trucking and the industry’s most powerful group agreed last week to work together on improving trucking safety and to support formation of a blue ribbon panel that would study the issues further.

ATA President Walter B. McCormick Jr. confirmed Feb. 11 that the association has been talking with Wolf and will participate in the sessions.
