We assembled the editorial team for a look back at 2020 and a look ahead at 2021. Deborah Lockridge, David Cullen, Jack Roberts, and I offer our reflections on the year just passed and the year ahead through a trucking lens -- what will this industry see from the Biden administration? How much of our long wish list will be fulfilled this year or over the next four years? Will we see more emissions regulations? Will Electric trucks become mainstream? The HDT Editorial team tackle those questions and more.
