While there are still hundreds of other road closures in both states, from U.S. highways down to small state roads, the status of the two key interstates serving the western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee region remains mixed.

Closings are...

Trimble panelists: Great tech alone won’t keep drivers behind the wheel

LAS VEGAS – At a conference with literally hundreds of presentations about telematics, in-cab capabilities and other tech-focused topics, a panel came back to one of the most basic issues in trucking: How do you take care of – and keep – the driver behind the wheel?

And in staying with the theme of the conference, how can technology be adopted to reach that goal of more stability in a field with massive, endless turnover?
