SCDigest couldn't make it to this year's NASSTRAC annual conference in Orlando, but thankfully Mike Regan of TranzAct Technology was there, and he gives our readers a great first hand account of some of the top presentations.

Key themes include:

• Are we already in the midst of a freight recession?
  
  
• Regulations on trucking keep expanding, with real cost impacts
  
  
• Transportation sector hardly aligned on many key issues, such as heavier and/or longer trucks - and that is a big challenge to seeing legislative and regulatory changes

Watch Regan's excellent summary of NASSTRAC 2016 in this interview with SCDigest editor Dan Gilmore.
