Flashback Friday! The new Volvo trucks are “flashy” in a different way from this classic lightning paint job. Should we bring back the lightning? Ka-chow!

Hours behind the wheel 🚛 can leave your legs feeling stiff. A few minutes of movement during your next rest stop can keep your most important equipment 💪 in shape for the road ahead.
Benefits of moving every day:
🦵 Improve strength and balance
❤️ Get your blood flowing after long hours of sitting
⚡ Boost energy and reduce stiffness
Jump Squats: Squat to about 90°, then explode upward and land softly before repeating.
Lunges: Step forward or backward, lower until both knees are about 90°, then push back to standing. Reverse lunges are often easier on the knees. Stretches are always a good idea.

Southland Transportation started in 1988 with a small office in Dobson, North Carolina, and just three company trucks. From those modest beginnings, the company has grown to more than 200 tractors, over 500 trailers, and terminals serving customers across several states.
That growth has been built on loyal customers and the daily work of Southland’s drivers, mechanics, and office teams. As the industry continues to change, Southland remains focused on investing in its people, technology, and the dependable service that made the company successful.

🚧 SUMMER CONSTRUCTION IS IN FULL SWING.
Work zones can bring narrow lanes, sudden stops, shifting traffic patterns, and crews working just feet from moving vehicles.
When you see orange signs ahead:
🔸 Slow down early
🔸 Leave extra following distance
🔸 Put the phone away
🔸 Watch for flaggers and equipment
🔸 Expect traffic patterns to change
A few minutes of patience can prevent a serious crash. Let’s help every driver and road worker make it home safely.

☕⚡ Coffee, Soda, and Energy Drinks... what's in your cupholder?
Generations of truck drivers have enjoyed a "cup of joe,” and today’s gas stations have more beverage options than ever. Don’t forget that every drink has its pros and cons.
☕ Classic Coffee
✅ Choose your own sweeteners to throttle the calorie count
⚠️ Too much can leave you dehydrated or jittery
⚡ Energy Drinks
✅ Convenient, high-caffeine, and plenty of choices
✅ Some include B vitamins and other supplements
⚠️ Extra sugar, extreme caffeine, and other stimulants can be dangerous, even in moderation
🥤 Soft Drinks
✅ Easy to find almost anywhere
⚠️ High sugar and giant refills make it easy to consume way too many liquid calories
💧 Whatever you choose, don't forget plain water. Staying hydrated can help improve focus, reduce fatigue, and keep you feeling your best behind the wheel.
Teas, infusions, and low-calorie drink mixes open up a world of healthier options.

Does anybody else miss the cabover days? We’re proud to keep our drivers in well-maintained, late model trucks, but those old cabovers had a little something extra.
