Women leaders are rising up; drivers and techs falter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A trucking industry trade show or conference looks much different than it did 10, and even five, years ago. More women enter the industry with each passing year, which means more women at conferences, more women behind a desk, and more women in the corner office. While I wish it were true that women were filling trucking industry roles across the board, the Women in Trucking WIT Index, which records gender inclusion data for the industry, indicates that some roles are recruiting women more stead
2026 Ford F-450 Platinum review: Luxury meets heavy-duty capability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Owning a Ford Platinum or a GMC Denali will likely never be in my future due to my journalist salary. I can’t afford a pickup truck with the highest-level trim, much less a 1-plus-ton pickup.

What’s keeping the trucking market from overcoming the economic hurdles that have been set in place since this current freight recession began in 2022? Three trucking industry experts and analysts answered these questions at the recent McLeod Software User Conference in Nashville. David Scandlyn is the directo

Read excerpt
NASHVILLE—Be careful. Those are Tom McLeod’s words of advice to transportation leaders here at the McLeod Software User Conference. The McLeod Software president and CEO has been part of the industry for decades. Here’s what he said is currently affecting the industry and why leaders should exercise caution even with elevated freight rates. The trucking industry has been in a slump for several years. The COVID-19 pandemic saw an influx of freight movement, which led to an increase in truck capac
