Hours waiting at a dock—and then the clock tells you when to sleep.

FMCSA is moving forward with a pilot to test more flexible sleeper-berth splits, including 5/5 and 6/4 options.

This is a proposed pilot, not a rule change for everyone.

More flexibility could help drivers manage long loading delays and plan rest around the realities of the road. Proper rest and safe driving should remain the priority.

ALL MILES PAID — LOADED AND EMPTY.

Drivers hear a lot about CPM. But CPM only matters if you're getting paid for the miles you actually drive.

Ask yourself:

Are your empty miles paid?
Are you getting consistent miles?
Are you moving — or spending too much time sitting?

The freight market is stronger than it was a year ago, but for a driver, the number that matters is still the paycheck at the end of the week.

At AIA Trucking, all miles are paid — loaded and empty.

If you're driving the miles, we believe you should be paid for them.

Experienced CDL-A drivers — if you're thinking about making a change, let's talk.

Thinking About Changing Trucking Companies?

Before you look only at CPM, ask a few more questions.

Will they keep you moving?

Will dispatch answer when there is a problem?

Will your settlement be correct and on time?

Will they respect your home time?

And most importantly — will you still want to work there a year from now?

At AIA Trucking, we’ve been in this industry for more than 20 years, starting behind the wheel ourselves.

We’re still a family-owned company, and we’ve built our business around long-term relationships with our drivers.

Some of our drivers have been with us for years. Some left to try something different and later came back.

That means more to us than any recruiting slogan.

We are looking for experienced CDL-A drivers who want more than just the next job.

Company Drivers:

Dry Van – starting at $0.65 CPM
Re**er – starting at $0.75 CPM
Opportunity to grow
All miles paid
$25 extra stop
$150 layover
Weekly direct deposit

We also offer lease-purchase opportunities for experienced drivers who are ready for the next step.

Minimum 2 years CDL-A experience.

If you're happy where you are, stay there. A good trucking company is worth keeping.

But if you're already thinking about making a change, talk to us before you decide.

Cargo theft has gone global — and increasingly digital.

Armenian authorities say they uncovered a group operating from Yerevan that allegedly impersonated U.S. freight companies, redirected cargo, resold it, and converted the proceeds into cryptocurrency.

Investigators are now working with U.S. law enforcement.

Another reminder that an MC number alone is no longer enough.

**Verify the company. Verify the person. Verify the truck.**

The freight is physical. The theft is increasingly digital.

Google is finally getting serious about truck routing.

Google Maps Platform just launched Large Vehicle Routing for commercial fleets in the U.S.

Companies can build routes based on the actual truck — including height, width, length, weight, axle count and supported hazmat classifications — helping avoid low bridges, weight-restricted roads and other routes that aren't suitable for large vehicles.

Google is also using a truck-specific ETA model based on how large vehicles actually move in traffic.

But here's the important part for drivers:

This is NOT a new "Truck Mode" you can turn on in the regular Google Maps app.

It's a Google Maps Platform product that fleets and software companies have to integrate into their own dispatch or driver apps, and Google currently limits access to approved customers.

Still, this could be a big step forward. A lot of drivers already use Google Maps alongside a truck GPS because they like Google's traffic and mapping. Combining that experience with actual truck restrictions could be very useful.

Drivers — would you trust Google truck routing enough to replace your current truck GPS?

Trailer prices may continue rising through 2026

The cost of truck trailers and chassis is already approximately 8.8% higher than one year ago, while aluminum production and processing prices have increased more than 50%.

Because higher raw-material costs take time to reach finished equipment, trailer prices may continue climbing throughout the year.

For trucking companies, this makes careful equipment planning, preventive maintenance and smart capital investment more important than ever.

At AIA Trucking, dependable equipment is a key part of providing safe and reliable service.

Nothing means more than hearing our drivers speak about their experience with AIA Trucking.

We are grateful to have dedicated professionals who represent our company with pride every day. Thank you for the kind words and for being part of the AIA Trucking family.

Looking for a company that values respect, communication, and long-term relationships? We'd love to hear from you.

Could Diesel Prices Be Heading Back Above $5.00 Per Gallon?

Industry experts are closely watching diesel futures as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to escalate.

Diesel futures have already climbed by nearly **$0.70 per gallon** from recent lows, and if current conditions continue, retail diesel prices could move back above **$5.00 per gallon** in the near future.

The timing couldn't be worse. July is typically a slower freight month, meaning many spot market carriers could face higher fuel costs while freight demand softens.

**Bottom line:** Fuel remains one of the largest operating expenses in trucking. If diesel continues to rise, carriers will need to focus even more on fuel efficiency, routing, and cost control.

Do you think diesel will climb above $5.00 again this summer?
