Welcome! — to the online community for local trucking
Posted by | Posted in News and Links | Posted on 04-03-2011
Welcome to The Local Trucking Blog. This blog is the hub of an online community that speaks to the interests of local trucking companies, their owners and managers, and the wider community that they serve.
Depending on your part of the country, local trucking can have different names. We publish content that is designed to meet the needs of:
- local trucking companies;
- local cartage firms;
- local companies with in-house trucks;
- and local pickup and delivery (P&D) companies.
We invite you to check back frequently. Our posts cover a wide range of topics, including:
- management issues: legal, tax/accounting, delegating succession planning, and more
- insurance issues: liability, worker’s comp, and more
- software and hardware: what to look for in a TMS, in power units and trucks, in smartphones, and more
- legislative matters: HOS, EOBR, and more
If you’re an owner, GM, or manager in local trucking, we want to be the one-stop online resource for your concerns. Click “subscribe” to join our community and receive notification of new postings. Please check back often, feel free to post comments, and be sure to tell us if we’re covering what matters to you most (and if we’re not).
Thanks, and welcome!

I like this blog a lot. Thanks for setting it up. What are you going to be blogging about next?
Since FMCSA has extended the comment period for the proposed EOBR rule until May 23, there is still time to help shape what the final EOBR rule will look like. Please come over to http://www.regulationroom.org – a pilot open government project between the Department of Transportation and the Cornell e-Rulemaking Initiative – to share your comments and have your voice heard. We hope you will check us out and join in the discussion.
Thanks,
The Regulation Room Team
