CVSA and Advocates urge repeal of agriculture and utility HOS exemptions

Begam, Lewis & Marks has a long history of holding trucking companies and their drivers responsible for injuries and deaths that they have caused and a history of fighting for tougher laws and regulations to protect the public.
