Well it seems like it has taken forever or maybe I am just a little impatient. Secretary Elaine Chao announced that on May 14th acting FMCSA Administrator Jim Mullen released the four approved revisions pertaining to the HOS requested by the trucking industry. First, the 30 minute required rest break after eight hours of driving can be satisfied by 30 minutes of on duty not driving status. Second, sleeper birth periods can now be split into an 8/2 or 7/3 split. Third, a maximum of two hours driving can be extended for adverse weather conditions. Fourth, for the short haul exemption, the 12-hour day will be extended to 14-hours and the 100 miles air radius will be extended to 150-miles. The frustrating part is that the rule changes won’t be in effect for 120 days after the posting. I guess we have waited this long, a bit longer won’t hurt. This may not be everything we had hoped for, but I feel these were some positive changes. Who knows if we can prove these changes to be safe and effective. Maybe we will have some room for more changes down the road. One thing for certain this industry is forever changing to ensure safety and serve the needs of the American people. FMCSA has also extended the emergency declaration relaxing HOS for operations considered to be essential for COVID-19 relief efforts until July 14th. However they have modified the list of operations to now be considered essential. (1) livestock and livestock feed. (2) medical supplies and equipment related to the testing, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. (3) supplies and equipment necessary for community safety, sanitation and prevention of community spread of Covid-19. Other operations were previously considered to be essential. The FMCSA feels there is no longer a need for emergency relief. We may all not agree with some of it when we walk into a grocery store, but I think we can all agree it is getting better all the time. I look forward to seeing the luxury we were accustomed too. July SDTA east river golf event and September’s SDTA Convention are still being planned for, conditions are looking favorable to continue and I think we are all ready for some social activity. Everyone please stay safe and healthy. Every precaution we take today will just make tomorrow that much easier.

I am not sure that I like what is commonly referred to as “the new normal”. Electronic or virtual meetings are okay on an occasional basis but now that is all I do multiple times a week. Even the ATA Midyear Management Meeting was conducted in that way. Everybody was in their own office and we simply could see each other on the computer screen. It worked and we got the business accomplished but these virtual meetings are not the same as the face-to-face meetings. I think you lose something when having a virtual meeting. I hope this is a temporary thing! I sincerely hope that everyone took the time to vote in the primary election. Absentee voting laws in SD make it so simple to exercise your right to vote. Now that the primary election sorting has taken place, it is time to pick your candidate and help her or him get elected this fall in the general election. In less than 5 months, the general election will take place. Keep in mind that we will be electing or re-electing our entire state legislature. Please take time to find out who the candidates are and invite them to your place of business or simply for a cup of coffee. If you find a champion that needs to have the support of the SDTA Truck PAC, please let me know and I will send a check directly to that candidate or to you for presentation on our behalf. As you are aware, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we found it necessary to cancel the Summer Board Meeting, the annual Cliff Tjaden Fishing Event and the Truck Driving Championships all scheduled for May. Later we also canceled the west river Logging Industry Golf Tournament coupled with the annual poker run. However, at this point, we have no plans to cancel the annual east river summer golf tournament scheduled for the Brandon Golf Course for Thursday, July 23rd. This is always a fun and action packed event; please plan to join us. Difficult times are upon us but as the saying goes, “We will get through this together!” The trucking industry is a very hard-working resilient group. As Will Rogers said, "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." Get involved and stay involved!

South Dakota Road Team Has First Opportunity With Remote Learning Sioux Falls, SD - May 2020 The South Dakota Road Team Captains took the time to create video footage to include in the Sioux Falls O’Gorman High School drivers education remote learning program.

144 Students

For the past two years SD Road Team Captains have come to O’Gorman High School in Sioux Falls, SD, for their Share The Road program demonstrations. The COVID-19 Pandemic has changed the way these students are learning in 2020. It was a challenge, but with the help of the Road Team Captains and the SDTA staff we were still able to participate in this amazing training program this May. The slideshow Captains have used in prior years when talking to the driver education students was combined with current videos and pictures Captains Mike Whitehead, Gary Schmidt, Jeff Eschen and Jeremy Senger and SDTA Executive Assistant Michelle Wells were able to capture. In past years, Captains would provide two tractor/trailer units in the parking lot of the school with vehicles hidden in blind spots around them. Students were allowed to climb into the drivers seat, shut the door and observe. It is priceless to see the look in their eyes! The idea for this year was to provide the school with a video to include in their Google Classroom program for the 2020 Driver Education Class. We highlighted the SD Road Team program, the inside and outside of the truck/trailer, the blindspots around them and how to share the road safely with trucks. Blind Spot Review

The costly impact of financial stress A problem that spans generations and income levels

Despite being gainfully employed, your employees are stressed — financially stressed — and that is taking a toll on their physical health. The number one cause of stress in America is money. Everyone in your workforce — from millennials to boomers — is losing sleep over saving for retirement paying the bills or putting food on the table. And, unfortunately, it doesn’t matter whether the employee is sitting in a corner office, working in a cubicle or on the production line, financial stress doesn’t discriminate. Experts have found that financial stress can cause acute-phase inflammation across all socioeconomic strata. A study published by the National Institute of Health found that there are significant correlations between financial stress, interpersonal stress, and psychological distress and well-being. All of which make their way into the work environment and impact the organization.

Poor financial health = poor health Financial stress manifests itself in numerous physical conditions. In addition to mood disorders, financial stress contributes to migraine, cardiovascular disease, absences

from work, insomnia, and more. If your employees are like the majority of the population, it’s likely that in addition to financial stressors, they are also experiencing everyday pressures and worry. This combination, while not uncommon, is a huge health concern. We know that some stress is good; it can be motivating and invigorating. But, being in a perpetual state of unease and anxiety — like when a person is living paycheck to paycheck — increases the body’s cortisol levels and puts an individual at risk for: • Anxiety • Depression • Digestive problems • Headaches • Heart disease

BE WELL WITH WELLMARK Providing employees with a clear plan of action to improve financial well-being can have a positive ripple effect on other domains of well-being including emotional and physical. Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield is committed to supporting our groups and members and assisting you to create work environment that promotes healthy behaviors. Through our employer consulting and well-being services, we look beyond your employees’ claims and provide a variety of evidence-based programs that address the six elements of well-being: financial, social, career, emotional, physical and community.

• Sleep problems • Weight gain • Memory and concentration impairment You know the important role employee well-being plays in a productive business. Happy and healthy employees are more likely to be engaged and perform better than those who are dealing with personal issues while at work.

Contact your Wellmark representative or visit wellmark.com to learn more.

Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield of South Dakota is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

(Courtesy: TravelCenters of America) WESTLAKE, Ohio — TravelCenters of America announced its seventh annual Citizen Driver Award winners today: Herschel Evans of Bremen, Georgia and Jerry Seaman of Huron, South Dakota.

The winners were announced live on the Dave Nemo Radio Show on Sirius XM 146- Road Dog Trucking Radio. As part of the honor, Citizen Driver Award winners may select a TA, Petro Stopping Center or TA Express location to be dedicated in their name, allowing their story to be continuously displayed for all travelers that pass through. In addition, TA makes a $2,500 donation to each winner’s charity of choice. “The goal of the Citizen Driver Program is to put a spotlight on some of the most extraordinary drivers today and illustrate the fine examples of professionalism embedded in the truck driving profession,” said Barry Richards, president of TA. “These drivers dedicate their lives to their career and we’re pleased to honor them and highlight their life-long commitment and sacrifices.” Details about Evans and Seaman are listed below.

Evans received the 2018 Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance International Driver Excellence Award. In 2013, he was selected as an American Trucking Association’s American’s Road Team Captain. In 2017, he was presented with the Mark Russell Trucking Image Award for representing the industry through his role as an America’s Road Team Captain.

July's Operation Safe Driver Week focuses on speeding Reprinted from Trucker.com

During the pandemic, less traffic may be encouraging some drivers to ignore traffic safety laws, including speed limits. So, through July 12-18, law enforcement throughout North America will be looking for drivers who are engaging in unsafe driving. The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) 2020 Operation Safe Driver Week will go on as scheduled, July 12-18. During this week-long traffic enforcement safety initiative, law enforcement personnel throughout North America will be looking for drivers who are engaging in unsafe driving behaviors on our roadways. Identified drivers will be pulled over by law enforcement and may be issued a warning or citation. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, less traffic may be encouraging some drivers to ignore traffic safety laws, including speed limits. Despite there being far fewer vehicles on the road due to COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, many jurisdictions are seeing a severe spike in speeding. As the number of vehicles on roadways decreased in March and April, average speeds measured during the first week of April increased significantly in the five largest U.S. metropolitan areas. According to recent data, the average speed on interstate highways, state highways and expressways in those areas increased by as much as 75% compared to January and February. • In New York City, transportation officials reported an increase of more than 60% in the number of speed camera tickets issued in March compared to a year ago. At the same time, traffic was down more than 90% compared to January. • In Washington, D.C., traffic decreased 80% in March compared to January, while officials recorded a 20% increase in March speeding tickets. Of those tickets, violations for driving 21-25 mph over the speed limit rose by nearly 40%. • Over just one weekend, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, police charged 18 drivers with stunt driving, with speeds of 80-106 mph on the Don Valley Parkway, a major freeway that's limited to 55 mph. • California reported an increase in speeding violations and although the California Highway Patrol’s call volume has decreased, the crashes they have recently responded to have been worse. • Tucson Police reported a 40% increase in one-vehicle wrecks, which usually happens when drivers are going so fast they lose control. • In Minnesota, motor vehicle crashes and fatalities more than doubled compared to the same time period in previous years. Half those deaths were related to speeding or careless or negligent driving. • In Colorado, Indiana, Nebraska and Utah, police have clocked highway speeds of more than 100 mph. • Chicago and Los Angeles went from travel speed increases of 35-38% above average to 74-75% above average in just one week. To address this alarming trend of increased speeding on our roadways during the pandemic, CVSA selected speeding as the focus area for this year’s Operation Safe Driver Week. “It’s essential that this enforcement initiative, which focuses on identifying and deterring unsafe driving behaviors, such as speeding, go on as scheduled,” said CVSA president John Samis with the Delaware State Police. “As passenger vehicle drivers are limiting their travel to necessary trips and many commercial motor vehicle drivers Continued on page 25 TRUCKING NEWS ~ PAGE 21

are busy transporting vital goods to stores, it’s more important than ever to monitor our roadways for safe transport.” Historically, drivers’ actions have contributed to 94% of all traffic crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Traffic Safety Facts report. And although NHTSA’s 2018 highway crash fatality data showed a 2.4% decline in overall fatalities, the number of fatal crashes involving large trucks increased by 0.9%. “While, of course, we’re pleased to see a decrease in the overall number of fatalities, it was also devastating to learn that the number of fatalities involving large trucks increased. Any increase whatsoever in roadway fatalities is unacceptable,” said Samis. Data shows that traffic enforcement interactions between drivers and law enforcement reduces targeted problematic behaviors. CVSA’s Operation Safe Driver Week aims to reduce high-risk driving behaviors through traffic enforcement strategies. In addition to a focus on speeding, examples of other dangerous driver behaviors that law enforcement will track during Operation Safe Driver Week include distracted driving, failure to use a seatbelt, following too closely, improper lane change, reckless or aggressive driving, failure to obey traffic control devices, evidence of drunk or drugged driving, etc.
