Jennifer Reyes+FollowWhy Are Ghost Trucking Companies a Thing?Ever wonder who’s actually behind the wheel of those big rigs on the highway? Turns out, some trucking companies are run from overseas, using fake addresses in the U.S. and dispatching drivers remotely. The catch? When accidents happen, insurance often doesn’t cover the full cost, leaving families stuck with the bills. Maybe it’s time to double-check who’s delivering your next online order! #Business #Industry #trucking3736Share
Brooke Martin+FollowTrucker Drama: Why Your Delivery’s LateEver wonder why your online orders sometimes take forever? Turns out, some trucking companies are playing fast and loose with the rules—faking digital driving logs so drivers can stay on the road way longer than they should. This means tired drivers, risky roads, and honest companies picking up the slack (and the insurance tab). Next time your package is late, it might be more than just traffic! #Business #Industry #trucking1215Share
Christina Davis+FollowFresno’s TGS Logistics closes after 40 yearsTGS Logistics, a family-run trucking company based in Fresno, is shutting down after four decades of moving goods across California and Nevada. The news hits home for many local drivers and port workers who’ve counted on TGS for steady jobs and reliable service. The company cited tough market conditions as the main reason for closing its doors. For a lot of folks in the Central Valley, this isn’t just another business story—it’s about neighbors, friends, and the changing face of local industry. How do you think these shifts in trucking are affecting our community? #Business #Fresno #Trucking00Share
Leah Pierce+FollowFMCSA Just Yanked 2 ELDs—Paper Logs Are Back!Truckers, heads up! FMCSA just booted two ELDs (WALKER ELD & SR ELD) from its approved list for not meeting standards. If you’re using one of these, you’ve got 60 days to switch to a compliant device or go old-school with paper logs. Law enforcement won’t hassle you for now, but after September 29, 2025, it’s a big deal if you don’t swap. Don’t get caught out—double-check your ELD! #Cars #trucking #FMCSA5429Share
laura54+FollowColorado trucking shakeup: What’s next?A longtime Pierce-based trucking company, Indian Creek Express, just filed for bankruptcy—leaving a big question mark over local jobs and supply chains. With millions owed to creditors and only a fraction in assets, this could mean delays or changes for everything from fresh produce to building materials moving through our area. Many folks rely on these shipments for their businesses and daily lives. Have you noticed any changes in deliveries or local prices? How do you think this will impact our community, and what should be done to support workers and small businesses caught in the middle? #Business #ColoradoNews #Trucking00Share
umccall+FollowRailroad Truckers Get Extra Hours—Here’s WhyFMCSA just gave railroad truck drivers a special pass: they can work up to 17 hours (instead of 14) when dealing with emergencies like derailments, track issues, or crazy weather. But don’t worry—they still can’t drive more than 11 hours straight and have to rest up before hitting the road again. This only kicks in for unplanned events, not every day. Basically, it’s all about keeping trains (and us) safe when chaos hits the tracks! #Transportation #RailroadNews #Trucking93Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowWhy Truckers Need English 101 NowDid you know 40 Mexican truckers just lost their licenses to drive in the US because they couldn’t speak enough English? New rules mean you have to read road signs and chat with cops if you’re hauling goods across the border. This could mean longer waits for your next online order or pricier groceries if more drivers get sidelined. Truckers are now cramming English lessons—talk about a crash course! #Business #Industry #trucking12636Share
Samuel Gutierrez+FollowTruck Parts Chain Shuts Down—What Now?Heads up if you rely on local truck repair shops: Transaxle, a big truck parts distributor, is closing all 16 of its locations after failing to find a buyer. Over 200 employees are losing their jobs across the East Coast. If you’re in the trucking business or depend on quick repairs, expect longer waits and maybe higher prices as fewer shops compete for your business. Time to check your go-to mechanic’s supply chain! #BusinessNews #JobLoss #Trucking #Business3111Share
fnixon+FollowSelf-Driving Trucks Are Hitting the GasGuess what? Self-driving trucks are rolling closer to reality! Startup Plus just scored a $1.2 billion deal to go public, meaning more robot trucks could be hauling your online orders by 2027. Why the rush? Trucking companies want to save cash and beat driver shortages, so they're betting on tech to keep your packages moving fast. With looser rules on the horizon, you might spot a driverless big rig on the highway sooner than you think! #SelfDriving #Trucking #TechNews #Business2124Share
Jerry Clark+FollowWhy West Coast Trucking Is Chilling OutHere’s a fun tidbit: Truckers are turning down way more loads in the Southeast than out West, even though most imports still hit California ports. What’s up? Turns out, more West Coast freight is hopping on trains instead of trucks, so drivers there aren’t as picky. If you’re shipping stuff, it might be easier (and cheaper) to get a truck out West right now. East Coast? Not so much! #logistics #trucking #supplychain #Business119Share
