In case you haven't heard... as of Jan. 26th, the DOT has now put a ban on truck drivers texting while driving. The ban went into immediate effect and is a needed step to help our safety standards keep up with new technology.

We all know that texting while driving can be extremely dangerous for anyone behind the wheel of a vehicle, especially if your vehicle scales out at 85,000 lbs! If you don't believe me, just ask Tyra Banks!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UekvC0o-iVw If you skipped over that link, then go back and check it out. It's pretty funny. Thankfully, Tyra isn't rolling in a 53' dry van, but texting while driving is obviously an important issue for all of us...
Safety first!!

Okay, there isn't really a website called that (because I checked), but... maybe we will start one! It would be a nice happy place where trucking companies, brokers, customers, shippers, and consignees all become friends and do fun things like poke each other! We can make funny (and true) posts on each others pages like the following...
FitzMark commented on your wall: "We are amazing at both LTL and full truckload shipments, so... give us all your freight please!"
