TALTOA T Media

Buckle up, Michael is on his soapbox today. Jeff Tucker of the TIA and CEO of Tucker Company Worldwide testified last week at a committee hearing in D.C. titled "The State of Transportation." His testimony, his thoughts, his opinions, again HIS testimony. Land Line magazine published an article titled "A Sneak Attack on Broker Transparency." Today, we expect the media to be slanted and biased, but this takes the cake.
