Trucking News

Experience trucking news in a way you've never experienced it before.  You'll be informed, entertained and humored as you stay up with what's happening in trucking.

Even if you have personal news that won't get covered anywhere else, if it would make a difference in someone's life with value, humor entertainment, you can post it here. But it must be news, in other words just because it is personal doesn't mean entries from your diary! lol

Maybe you started a new company that will hire truckers part - time.  That's news.  

It must be an interest to readers of a trucking website. Did you just win trucker of the year? Did you just win a driving competition?
