## Resource

What better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than to take a trip to Ireland for a talk with Ger Hyland, president of the Irish Road Haulage Association, which was founded the same year OOIDA was: 1973. We get the inside scoop on the St. Patrick’s Day holiday from an Irishman’s point of view, and discover that Irish lorry drivers are facing many of the same challenges North American truckers face. https://www.irha.ie/ Join the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association: https://www.ooida.com/membership/ Tired of watching your rights eroded: https://fightingfortruckers.com/ Subscribe for FREE to Land Line Magazine (online or print): https://landline.media/subscribe/
