U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas), introduced Barron’s Law on Monday, saying the legislation is intended to strengthen commercial trucking safety by ensuring drivers have lawful immigration status or proper employment authorization, requiring English-language proficiency testing, cracking down on fraud and increasing penalties on motor carriers that knowingly use ineligible drivers.'

Every industry has its horror stories.
In freight, they usually sound a little something like this…

“The truck was supposed to be there yesterday.”

“The carrier just canceled.”

“Why did the price suddenly go up?”

“The delivery window was missed.”

“Where is my shipment?”

And our personal favorite:

“We need this delivered… TOMORROW.”

If you've been in logistics long enough, you've probably experienced at least one of these freight nightmares.

The truth is, shipping can come with a lot of moving pieces. Capacity changes. Delays happen. Schedules shift. Unexpected problems pop up. And when you're trying to keep your own business running, the last thing you need is to spend your day chasing down a shipment.

That's where having the right logistics partner can make all the difference.

We’re so excited to share this incredible story of strength, perseverance, and a pretty unforgettable celebration. We couldn’t be prouder to call Lucas one of our own and to cheer on his daughter as she continues this next chapter.

A woman facing a cancer diagnosis reached out to CBS News recently with an unusual request: help her give away a night she could no longer have.
