Why West Coast Trucking Is Chilling Out

Here’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 #Business

Why Are Truckers Parking Anywhere?

Did you know a deadly Greyhound crash last year was partly because there’s nowhere safe for truckers to park overnight? The NTSB says the shortage of legal truck parking forced semis onto highway ramps, which is illegal but happens all the time. Add in a tired bus driver with a history of accidents, and it was a recipe for disaster. Three people died, and it could’ve been prevented. When will we fix this parking crisis? #RoadSafety #Trucking #Greyhound #NTSB #News #Transportation

Cargo Heists Rock Mexico’s Trucking Scene

Cargo theft in Mexico is still wild—one group says there’s a robbery every 33 minutes! Even though official stats claim thefts are down, others say the numbers are actually up, especially in central and western states. Food, building materials, and auto parts are the top targets, with most heists happening while trucks are moving. If you’re in logistics, real-time tracking is a must right now. Meanwhile, big moves: Bulkmatic’s $250M terminal near Monterrey, Kingfa’s $84M expansion, and Amazon’s new delivery hub in Texas. Busy times! #CargoCrime #MexicoNews #Logistics #SupplyChain #Trucking #Transportation

Electric Trucks Are Quietly Taking Over

Despite political drama and high price tags, electric trucks are rolling out at major ports in California—charging hubs are popping up everywhere! Even with rebates getting axed and tariffs making things tricky, sales are still climbing. The tech is getting better, costs are dropping, and truckers are loving the quieter, easier rides. Sure, there are bumps in the road, but the EV parade isn’t stopping anytime soon. Would you make the switch? #ElectricVehicles #EVRevolution #SustainableTransport #Trucking #CleanEnergy #Transportation

Diesel Power, Natural Gas Vibes?!

Cummins just dropped the X15N natural gas engine, and it’s seriously giving diesel a run for its money. We’re talking 500 HP, 1,850 ft-lbs of torque—enough muscle for those big rigs, but with way lower emissions and a quieter ride. Plus, it’s built to last and already out there proving itself. If you thought natural gas engines couldn’t keep up, this one’s here to change your mind. Cleaner, quieter, and still a beast on the road! #Trucking #CleanTech #NaturalGas #FleetLife #CumminsX15N #Cars
