TDMST Weekly Round-Up 2025.11.22 is the trucking commentary on news affecting professional truck drivers for the week ending November 22, 2025, written by Vicki Simons.
I welcome your comments, thoughts and feedback on the items of your choice below.
1. Regarding holidays, ICE, and language:
Holidays
Thursday, November 27, 2025, is Thanksgiving Day in the USA.
In order to help retailers and stores prepare for Christmas, this is the time of year when Christmas freight is moving and many OTR, long haul, and regional truckers will be working.
Since I have taken multiple Thanksgiving trips on the road as a trucker, I understand what truckers on the road at this time of year are going through.
If you cannot be at home, please touch base with your home support team members sometime on Thanksgiving Day.
One option, which allows users to both hear and see each other, is the video conferencing Zoom cloud meeting app, which is available for both Android and iOS devices.
Because of Zoom’s terms of service, some people — including me — have started to use the Jitsi (or Jitsi Meet) video conferencing platform, available for Android and iOS devices.
Just because you’re out on the road does not mean that you can’t enjoy a lovely Thanksgiving dinner right in your truck.
If you have a battery-connected inverter or APU in your truck, a crock pot or slow cooker, and a hot pot, you can create a meal complete with cooked turkey, sweet potato casserole, and the works.
You will need to do some advanced planning, but since you’re already skilled as a trucker in making on-time pick-ups and deliveries, planning a fancier-than-usual meal in-truck should be a snap!
If your company offers — and you plan to earn — holiday pay for driving through some part of the Thanksgiving holiday, make sure you understand and abide by all of the rules.
Once again, I am offering our Thanksgiving Prayer on behalf of truckers.

Plane crash
I recently saw some photos that indicate that the engine on the plane that crashed was already on fire before the pilot ever took off.
Obviously, there is a need to know this and I don’t know what kinds of controls pilots have in their planes to detect engine fires.
That being said, professional truck drivers are required to do pre- and post-trip inspections on their rigs.
Please do not skimp on truck inspections such that not doing one leads to a preventable crash due to lack of maintenance.

8. Regarding ELDs, EPA, FMCSA, politics, regulations, and training:
ELDs
How many times will the FMCSA reject the use of certain ELDs after they once previously required only self-certification of the products?
Others within the trucking industry were speaking out against the Electronic Logging Devices “mandate” long before December 4, 2017, but you may read my commentary on the mandate.
In TDMST Weekly Round-Up: 2017.12.09, I quoted Indiana’s Attorney General, Curtis Hill, regarding the self-certification provision regarding ELDs.
I also asked, “In what other industry besides trucking has the government ever mandated the purchase of a ‘self-certification’ product?”
So, I’m truly distressed for every trucker who invested in a “self-certified” ELD that used to be on the approved list, only to later have that certification revoked!
If you are such a trucker, I want to hear from you about how expensive this was for you.
