Voters in three states just signed off on billions for roads.

But not every county said yes.

Will you see any of it behind the wheel?

🚧 Planning to run I-70 through Kansas City next year? Better start planning another way.

A big stretch is going away for most of 2027. Land Line has the details.

For plenty of truckers, serving the country started long before they climbed into the cab.

This Veterans Day week, we’re looking at deals for those who served and how Truckers for Troops turns a membership discount into support.

Thought you were done with beneficial ownership reporting? 😅

A new lawsuit seeks to put U.S. small businesses back on the hook. Owner-operators aren’t required to file now, but that could change.

Veterans Day is tomorrow. 🎖️

Free meals, bottomless sides, even a car wash. And OOIDA’s Truckers For Troops campaign is still rolling, with a way to save and give back. Here’s how to get in on both. 👇

The roadwork runs weekdays. The truck detour runs 24/7.

Ramps on a California highway are closed to trucks for months while cars retain access. Check your route.

Imagine someone buying a trucking company just to steal freight with it.

That’s what federal prosecutors allege happened here. The scheme netted millions in cargo, and some of the thieves allegedly demanded ransom to give it back.

FMCSA’s old complaint database got a makeover. 🛠️

@OOIDA once said that’s where truckers’ complaints “go to die.”

So what’s actually different this time?

Rates are up. So why doesn’t it feel like you’re getting ahead?

Trucking employment is barely moving, and the latest numbers suggest higher rates aren’t telling the whole story about what’s happening to small carriers.

Remember paper logs? Your ELD might give you a reason to get reacquainted.

When the technology stops cooperating, you need a backup plan. Here’s what to do when your ELD goes down.

One city’s council just voted, unanimously, to look at keeping trucks off a major road. 🛑

If you drive in Texas, odds are you know this stretch. 👀

Would a pulsing brake light get the attention of the driver riding your trailer?

Another motor carrier wants permission to try it, joining a growing list seeking exceptions to the steady-burning light rule. FMCSA wants to hear what you think.

Bad roads beat up your truck. Usually, you get stuck with the bill.

After a street swallowed part of her truck and left her injured, one driver decided to take the city to court. What happened before the collapse could be key to her case.

A heavier load might be allowed on one side of a state line and restricted on the other.

States are taking different approaches to truck weights, from exceptions for specific commodities to a proposed review of lower limits. For truckers, the details matter before the load moves.

Politics aside, here’s what actually matters to drivers after this election. 🗳️🚛

The Land Line crew breaks down what could change for drivers, from the highway bill to state-level fights.

What issue matters most to you right now? 👇

Super Ego’s position: “We’re not a motor carrier.”

Super Ego’s new lease rules: Conditional safety ratings, ELP violations and non-domiciled CDLs all get you turned away.

Sound like a carrier to you? 🤔

Arizona voters just weighed in on traffic cameras and mileage taxes.

Two big questions. Two answers that matter to every driver in the state.

Fewer thefts. Bigger paydays for the thieves.

Cargo crime reports are falling, but the losses are heading the other way. Here’s what truckers should watch.
