It’s been a few years since I sat in the dispatch chair or listened to a driver tell stories about delivery delays. Seeing the results and reading the comments on the recent DAT poll about driver detention felt like déjà vu. Nothing has changed! Results from a DAT reader poll about truck driver detention.

Trucking Carriers, Come Take a Load Off! It would be so great to have that relaxed feeling all the time; the one where you feel comfortable, and capable, and somehow light.
