As this issue of Truckload Authority hits the wire, John Elliott is racing hard toward the finish line of a highly motivating and extremely successful tenure as chairman of the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA).

That year was a turbulent one for the nation, but especially for New York City. The city had gained a reputation for high crime, homelessness, and social disruption. By the 1970s, the city had hit a fiscal crisis and visitors were being warn…

One is from the southern U.S. border. The other from the northern border. One trained to become a manager at a 7-Eleven and even contemplated following his father into the military.

Easier said than done: Driver shares story of team battling COVID-1...

Before deciding to become a professional truck driver in 2005, Glenn Helmly spent 25 years working as an EMT, often coming to the aid of people who were facing life-threatening situations.

While hundreds of miles from home, Helmly and his team driver fell ill — and encounte…
