Perspective

Our country’s transportation infrastructure delivers everything our economy needs to stay healthy, similar to the blood that runs through our veins to deliver oxygen and nutrients.

Being chairman of American Trucking Associations is a tremendous honor — the capstone of a career in trucking that began for me many decades ago.

Truck transportation is a crucial element in the supply chain, delivering the right goods at the right time to the right customers.

In thinking about what I wanted to say to mark National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, I kept coming back to one thought: One week is not enough.

News articles earlier this year about driverless trucks operating in Nevada and the Alberta oil sands under restricted conditions set off speculation about whether we’ll need truck drivers within a few decades — and whether autonomous vehicles are an answer to the driver shortage.

Because safety is the top priority for motor carriers, running a safe freight transportation operation requires thorough knowledge and understanding of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s regulations.
