A Certified Transportation Broker and Certified Diamond Broker based in Houston, Stephen Patrick Day has served as president and CEO of Logistics Group International (LGI), Inc., since 2002. Complementing more than two decades of logistics leadership experience, Stephen Day holds membership with the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA).
Composed of more than 1,400 members in 46 countries, SC&RA is a professional organization that advocates for policy benefiting specialized transportation and rigging operations as well as other industry stakeholders. In this regard, SC&RA scored several recent policy victories concerning permitting and automation to address the nationwide problem of limited truck parking.
On the federal level, it lobbied the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to extend an exception on the 30-minute rest break rule for SC&RA members for an additional five years. FMCSA also made favorable improvements to Hours of Service rules.
Permit harmonization victories at the state level included an extension of single trip permits in Arkansas, while Florida, Montana, Maryland, and North Carolina removed weekend travel prohibitions. Moreover, 19 states ruled that drivers can now divert from permitted routes for rest, fuel, or food.
