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.

Truck drivers spend lots of hours behind the wheel, but a few minutes of stretching can release tension and relieve strained muscles. Physical Therapist Ask Doctor Jo has five stretches you can learn in five minutes: - Chin Tucks - Shoulder Squeezes - Thoracic Extension - Seated Trunk Rotation - Seated Piriformis Stretch
Watch the video for details about each of these stretches. ... See MoreSee Less
Every mile matters. America's truck drivers keep the country moving, delivering everything that people and businesses need. Measured by weight, trucks move about 72% of the nation's freight!
Whether you're headed home or starting another week on the road, your work is appreciated by the team at Southland Transportation.
This year's campaign focuses on reckless, careless, and dangerous driving, reminding everyone—commercial drivers and passenger vehicle drivers alike—that safe decisions save lives. During the week, law enforcement across North America will increase traffic enforcement and driver education efforts.
Keep these safety reminders in mind: ⚠️ Slow down and leave plenty of following distance. 📵 Stay focused—put distractions away. 🤝 Be patient and share the road with everyone.
At Southland Transportation, safety isn't just a campaign for one week—it's part of every trip, every load, and every mile. Thank you to ALL of our professional drivers who help make our highways safer every day.
Truck drivers are built different. If you’ve spent time driving OTR, then you know a few things that can’t be taught.
🛑 The strategic art of finding a parking spot at a truck stop at 11pm ☕ The difference between a "good" rest stop and a "character-building" rest stop 📻 An entire 8-hour playlist might only have 12 songs 🌅 A sunrise through a windshield hits different after 400+ miles
If you know, you know. Tag a driver who gets it. 👇
Tragically, many of our favorite drinks ☕⚡🥤— coffee, energy drinks, and sodas — can contribute to dehydration if that's all you're drinking throughout the day.
One of the easiest healthy habits for truck drivers is carrying a large reusable water bottle and refilling it often. 💙 Not only will your kidneys thank you, but your wallet will too! 💵
Staying hydrated can help prevent: 😴 Fatigue 🤕 Headaches 🧠 Loss of focus ⏱️ Slower reaction times
All of which are BAD NEWS for professional drivers. 🚛⚠️ Stay safe out there and let's encourage each other to stay hydrated!
