In this uneasy time, I’m turning to the wisdom of Mr. Rodgers.

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

There are plenty of helpers combating the COVID-19 pandemic, including firefighters, paramedics, nurses, doctors, grocers, pharmacists, sanitation workers, postal workers, educators.

As well as truckers. Drivers’ Hours of Service (HOS) have been relaxed in certain situations and truck drivers are risking their health to move critical items across the country, to hospitals and stores...

It’s a brisk morning in Topeka, KS, winter 2001, and I’m
running late again. I warm up the old yellow Subaru and pull onto 10th street,
lurching towards Topeka High School. There’s a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch balanced
in my lap and a pair of headphones on my ears, Blood Brothers blaring. I’m approaching
the first green light, 10th and Gage, when there’s a loud flash of red at the
corner of my eye. I slam on the brakes. An ambulance rushes through the
intersection, missing my jalopy by inches. It was that close.

I pull into the animal hospital parking lot and sit, shaking
in my car, cereal and...

The driver shortage is still a perennial industry issue. It ranked as the top industry concern for the 2nd consecutive year in 2018 by the American Transportation Research Institute.

The American Trucking Associations (ATA) estimates that turnover can cost trucking companies as much as $5,000 per driver. If your company loses five drivers this year, you may spend as much as $25,000 to recruit and hire new drivers.

There are many great ways to retain drivers...

The Super Bowl is an exciting event. I will be watching the game this Sunday, along with around 114 million people. As a native Kansan, I'll be cheering on my beloved Chiefs. Whether you are hosting a party or simply attending one, it's important to have a plan ahead of time that prevents drunk driving. We already know drunk driving is dangerous. 28 people die from an alcohol related crash in the US every day.

• Be responsible when drinking alcohol. Know your limits and be watchful of what your friends are consuming as well.
• Have a designated driver or use ride sharing services. Decide how you are...
