COVID or not?
Illness impacts productivity and this has been especially true during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of my colleagues this week said that a source of his had been up against roughly a 30 percent increase in worker absenteeism following Thanksgiving thanks to an uptick in COVID cases. That’s crazy and in this case it just might […]

Half-ton hangup: Know before you tow
It felt good saving some money to buy a half-ton pickup that can actually tow more than the old ¾-ton that you traded in at the dealership. It just didn’t make much sense to spend more to buy a new ¾-ton when you didn’t plan on ever towing much more than 10,000 lbs. But then […]

Biden and California EV bias throws shade on fuel cell
There’s an old saying that most of us know only too well: As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. But will the same hold true for zero emissions? With California requiring a percentage of new commercial trucks and vans sold in four years to be zero emissions, it’s certainly reasonable to wonder […]

PSP reports and their value to fleets
Pulling PSP reports is an affordable way to go above and beyond what is required for safety, and while it may seem like enough of a challenge to simply keep up with the minimum requirements for compliance, I try my best to go the extra mile when possible to keep our safety record in good condition.

VW’s big journey from Beetle to all-electric and fuel cell trucks
Our family had a Volkswagen Super Beetle in the ’70s and ’80s in Southern California. It was a fun car: lime green, fuel injected, four speed manual, cool frunk, strangely inviting vinyl interior scent, hand crank front windows and pop-out windows in the rear.
