Volvo Trucks North America is trying a new marketing strategy for selling its vehicles by “Cost Per Mile.”

The Internet, which offers a wealth of information and business opportunities, is really a Dr. Frankenstein that will slice, dice and reassemble the mighty U.S. economy, including trucking, according to a panel of industry executives.

An official at Werner Enterprises shed some light on what prompted his company to link up with five other large truckload carriers to form one the industry’s newest dot.com operations, Transplace.com, to serve logistics customers.

Truckload carriers may be able to measure their performance against that of their peers if they get Department of Justice approval to collaborate on data measurements.

With safety a constant concern among trucking companies, the Truckload Carriers Association took time to honor and highlight operations that have done an exceptional job. It also recognized people who have contributed to improving the field.

For the fourth time in the history of the award, two truckers were named National Highway Heroes for their efforts in saving motorists from possible death.

There are no quick fixes to stem the $10 billion in goods stolen annually from U.S. port terminals, because the criminals who commit the thefts are highly organized and sophisticated, said Bonnie Green, a federal port official.

A federal appeals court ruled the government must test a trucker with partial vision in one eye and partial use of one arm to see if he is fit to drive a truck interstate.

Diesel engine lubrication oil was once a sticky issue with the Environmental Protection Agency, but no more.
