🎃 Happy Halloween!

In the spirit of the season, we’re sharing the story of one of America’s most haunted highways from -there is a stretch of I-4 between Tampa and Daytona Beach known as “The Dead Zone.”

Legend says this eerie section runs over an old immigrant settlement lost to yellow fever in the 1880s. When the highway was built decades later, it cut right through the burial site and ever since, strange things have been reported.

Radio static. Dropped calls. Ghostly hitchhikers.
Even hurricanes said to follow the same path.

Have you ever driven a haunted highway or had a spooky on-the-road story of your own?

Drop it below - if you dare. 💀🚛

The DOT’s bombshell report reveals California broke federal law by allowing a dangerous, unqualified foreign driver to obtain a commercial license - despite being warned. And the driver failed the written exam 10 TIMES!
This same driver caused a fatal crash days later.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about process failure.
Every time a state cuts corners on CDL verification, it puts all of us -drivers, families, and fleets - at risk.

Safe freight starts long before a truck hits the road.
It starts with proper licensing, enforcement, and integrity in how we manage who gets behind the wheel. What do you think?

How many times should someone be allowed to fail a CDL exam before they’re no longer eligible?

Florida’s AG just launched an investigation after a driver - who failed 10 times - was still certified, got behind the wheel of a semi, and caused a fatal crash.

It’s a brutal reminder that a license doesn’t always mean someone’s qualified.

Where’s the line between persistence and negligence?

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

👉 Drop a thank-you below.

Let’s give drivers the recognition they deserve. 💪

We talk a lot about rates, safety, and compliance… but not nearly enough about the mental health toll of life on the road.

Long hours. Loneliness. Pressure. The grind can wear drivers down in ways most people never see.

Driver Appreciation Week isn’t just about saying “thanks.” It’s about recognizing the real sacrifices and starting more conversations about supporting drivers as people.

To every driver carrying more than freight: we see you. We appreciate you. We stand with you.

Behind every load is a parent, a spouse, a neighbor, a friend.

Drivers sacrifice so much time with family, sleep, and comfort to keep this country moving. They’re more than trucks on the highway- they’re the people who make all of our conveniences possible.

Gainesville, TX just leveled up the truck stop game. 🎮
Check out the video tour.

What’s the #1 thing you wish every truck stop had?

🍎 Fall produce season always makes me a little nostalgic.

I can still picture taking my kids to the apple orchard every year when they were little - picking apples, eating too many apple cider donuts, and coming home with bags of fresh apples to make pies and applesauce.

This photo is actually of me with my nephew Mark and his little girl, teaching her the ropes.

Moments like that remind me that food isn’t just freight - it’s tradition, family, and the comfort of knowing where our blessings come from. Teaching kids about food, how it’s grown, harvested, and cared for - matters.

Working in logistics, I see that same care echoed in what we do every day. Behind every truckload of apples, pumpkins, onions, or sweet corn is a chain of people making sure those foods arrive fresh, safe, and ready to be shared at family tables.

🍎 Fruit for Thought: What’s Moving in September? 🥕

If produce had passports, this is the autumn tour schedule you’d want:

Potatoes rolling out from Idaho, North Dakota, Maine, Washington & Colorado

Onions dropping in from Washington & Oregon

Sweet Corn cruisin’ out of the Midwest

Apples hitting markets from Washington, New York & Michigan

Late-season peaches, plums & nectarines waving goodbye from California

Pears making their play from Washington & Oregon

But that’s not all -

Grapes, figs, berries, melons, and pomegranates are wrapping up summer tours.

And on the veggie front: beets, carrots, eggplant, peppers, cauliflower, winter squash, pumpkins, and artichokes are joining the fall shipping party.
