    Don't let this be you. Fiery truck crash.

    Driver identified. BTW, the last quarter-mile approach to Clay's Ferry Bridge has seen many fatal accidents over the past 20 years. Especially, the southbound approach- the pitch and roll of the highway just feels wrong. Coming out of the curve, a driver can feel momentum pulling to the left...

    Don't let this be you. Fiery truck crash.

    A tractor-trailer crash on Clay's Ferry Bridge on I-75 just south of Lexington, KY on Monday morning ended in tragedy for the driver. Whether he was sleepy or distracted or had sudden mechanical failure is unknown. Horrible day for the driver's family. video runs about 3 minutes in a 2 part...

    One Man Fight to Save the Expedited Trucking Industry

    Deadhead, you're in a very competitive industry. Searching for a scapegoat may make one feel better, but running 30 or 40 old Penske type box trucks out of business won't make a dent. They probably constitute less than 1% of the cargo van/Sprinter market searching for expedite loads. If a...

    Driver Cams?

    Looking at post#1 and post#2 being 20 minutes apart, one gets the feeling a prior conversation on this subject might have spilled over to the pages of EO with advocacy for dash cams being floated as a trial balloon.

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    No one can predict this economy or this industry 20-30 years out. Does anyone know what fuel prices will be in 12 or 24 months? Technology changes. Regulatory changes. Government mandates. Expediting might not exist in its present form.

    Stairway To Heaven?

    This is as nice a tribute to a driver as I've seen. Hopefully, Jack Marshall will see it. Makes a world of difference to acknowledge the good in others, publicly and privately. Says a lot about the character of the author as well.

    Are diesel CVs really worth it?

    No, in hindsight I think I would prefer gas engine to diesel powered CV's. I accumulated nearly 1.5 million miles on various Ford E-350's. These engines were unbelievably reliable, but heavy. If I recall correctly, there was a 900 LB. weight disparity between the 7.3L diesel and an...

    To all the dad's out there.

    When my son was a little boy, he ususally woke with a smile on his face, ready to embark on a new day of exploration and wonder. We had an extremely close bond, talking endlessly about every topic under the Sun. He was an accelerated learner who often astonished his teachers and his parents...

    Capitol Express ---- what do you know about them?

    I considered adding Capitol Express when doing the multiple van/ multi-carrier thing. They have a branch in Lexington, Ky as well. The Lexington terminal manager said they do both expedite and courier work. Seemed nice enough, but I never worked with . Yet.

    Censorship = "a positive waiting room experience"?!

    Does the Obama administration realize its multi-pronged flirtation with fascism has bloomed into a longterm relationship?
