Truck driver David Fredericksen and his co-driver, Walter Letterman, were making their weekly run from Lake Wales, Florida, to California, on Aug. 11 when a fiery accident involving an automobile and an 18-wheeler unfolded in front of them.
Trucking’s lifeblood is quality professionals — the drivers and law enforcement officers — American Trucking Associations President Bill Graves said Thursday during the Breakfast of Champions at the start of the National Truck Driving Championships. “Annually, 9 billion tons of freight are moved by trucks over nearly 400 billion miles,” Graves told more than 1,000 people at NTDC, which is held simultaneously with the inspectors championships.
Trucking added 2,300 jobs in July and the U.S. unemployment rate rose to 6.2% as more people entered the workforce, Labor Department reported Aug. 1. The economy added 209,000 jobs, after a 298,000 increase in June that was 10,000 higher than originally reported. Economists had forecast a 230,000 July increase.
