Trucking is a dangerous job ... and it's our own fault
Regardless of how hard a customer pushes us for an aggressive delivery timetable, we cannot permit shortcuts or unduly pressure drivers.

Compared with passenger cars and light trucks, large trucks have a much lower rate per mile traveled of crashes resulting in nonfatal injuries or property damage only, according to IIHS.

Hard to abate emissions? I think not
There are many things that can be classified as hard in this world, but trucking emissions should not be hard to abate. Find out why on CCJ.

Despite a rocky state of the union, solid-state batteries and internal combustion are looking good
Politics anyone? Politics has always been a sordid business and especially now following a summer of protests and deadly riots, a contested U.S. presidential election, a deadly breach at the U.S. Capitol and now another impeachment process rolling out for President Donald Trump. So what does it all mean for trucking? At this point, it’s […]

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 […]

Essential enough? The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still asks that non-healthcare workers refrain from wearing N95 masks. I had mine before COVID. Should I stop wearing it? Yeah, I don’t think so.

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 […]

Ford still working on fuel cell while banking largely on all-electric
He drew a line in the sand, or the silica more like it, and I suppose it’s hard to blame him. During the recent reveal for the all-electric 2022 Ford Transit, Ford CEO and President Jim Farley made it clear that his company was on board with all-electric vehicles, California-style. “This is the path we’re […]

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.
