MTAC Podcast:
Nutmeg State
Transportation Report

MTAC’s brainchild is garnering quite the audience

BY ERIC J. FRANCIS
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

SCULLEY RECORDING PODCAST The idea for Nutmeg State Transportation
Report was sparked by an industry
consultant Sculley follows – “I guess you can
say I took one of his ideas for free,” he joked
– and had marinated for a couple of years
before something happened to make him
take the leap.

As with so many other things during
the past couple of years, the pandemic had
become the mother of invention.

In addition to all the well-catalogued
impacts COVID-19 has had on the industry
(including forcing the MTAC to cancel a
party to mark its 100th anniversary last
year), another of the endemic changes it
brought about – the shift to virtual meetings
using Zoom – wound up also supporting the
idea of starting a podcast.

“I was recording a lot of [the Zoom
meetings] because they’re presentations to
our members,” Sculley explained. “You get
the video file, and you get the audio file, and
I just realized there’s nothing stopping me
from turning the audio file into a podcast.”

It helped that going into podcasting didn’t
exactly break the bank.

“I would say we spent a few hundred bucks
for the microphone, and you could find
other options on either side of that number,
honestly,” said Sculley. “The fact we started
the podcast also made it easier to keep the
Zoom account which is, what, fifteen bucks a
month? And the hosting website is free.”

“Let’s say you had 10 tractors and 20
trailers,” Sculley said. “You would have to
get a permit for each possible combination.
Now you won’t need to do that.”

The Oversize/Overweight permit office
has also begun allowing monthly permits
as an alternative to annual permits.

“I’ve got a dump trailer that only works
three months out of the year, so I get a
monthly permit for that dump trailer,”
Briere said. “That’s a huge cost savings
right there.”

These changes are some of the early
fruits of a renewed and concerted effort
by the DOT and the Oversize/Overweight
permit office to be more user-friendly
and accessible to carriers. Hiscox said
much of the progress resulted simply
from understanding how people need
to communicate.

Before recent changes, for example, the
primary option for reaching the permit
office was a phone number. If no one was
available in the office to take the calls,
questions frequently went unanswered.
And that especially became an issue since
COVID arrived.

and the carriers.”
TRAILER ROOFTOPS!
According to Briere, several other recent
changes have been beneficial to carriers
handling oversize/overweight vehicles.
One is the recent re-opening of Interstate
95 for oversize/overweight activity. I-95
had been closed to oversize/overweight
activity for the past several years because of
a bridge collapse, and that re-routed such
traffic to the narrow two-lane road that is
Route 1.

“One of my drivers might be going
eight hours to move one machine,” Briere
said. “Now that they’ve moved I-95 back
up to oversize, I can just buzz right down
the highway.”

Another change Briere cited was to allow
oversize equipment to be moved
on weekends.

Government offices may not always be
as behind the times as their reputation
suggests, but it usually takes work and
persistence to make bureaucracies move
in a business-friendly direction. It also
helps when there is bureaucratic leadership
that sees its role as serving the trucking
community rather than ruling over it. The
combination has been working well in
recent years for the trucking industry in
Connecticut, and it’s leading to cautious
optimism that more adjustments could
be coming to make the government more
user-friendly and cost-effective for
the industry.

And if the result is a more prosperous
trucking industry, that will surely reward
state government with more tax revenue
and a healthier overall economy. Everyone
would win in that scenario.

“It’s nice to see a user-friendly, pro-
business change come to government, and
that’s what this has been,” Sculley said. TTP
