Even with the delays, little by little, it still is good to see light rail come back to life in #Seattle.

Perhaps, this iteration will last longer than the original 26 years. (1902-1928). We are already past the halfway mark(2009)!

Judkins Park Station — and light rail connecting Seattle to the Eastside — now on track for 2026

Tesla Using 'Full Self-Driving' Hits Deer Without Slowing, Doesn't Stop

Tesla’s approach to automotive autonomy is a unique one: Rather than using pesky sensors, which cost money, the company has instead decided to rely only on the output from the car’s cameras. Its computers crunch through tons of data, and then apparently decide to just plow into deer and keep on trucking.

Tesla Using 'Full Self-Driving' Hits Deer Without Slowing, Doesn't Stop

How's that computer-vision-only approach working out for you, Tesla?

A Rubberized Cybertruck Is Plowing Through European Pedestrian Safety Rules

“Based only on the car’s visual appearance, there are several aspects of this vehicle that look like they may be a threat to pedestrians,”

A Rubberized Cybertruck Is Plowing Through European Pedestrian Safety Rules

Tesla’s troubled electric pickup is illegal in Europe, yet somehow a barely modified model has found a way to get licensed. A group of European transport organizations claim this ride could spell disaster.

Why does nobody know how to spell phoenix? I work for a company called Phoenix Transportation but it is an all the time thing that shippers/receivers and other places spell it wrong. Most recently just a couple hours ago I got my truck washed and on the receipt they spelled it Phenix. How does that even make sense? #trucking #transportaion #learntospell

For those of you who might be be curious when I talk about stuff like my weekly 70hr clock #truckers don't run on a 40hr work week. We run on a 70hr work week. Every day we get access to 14hrs of that 70hrs 11 of which we are allowed to drive. At the end of the day any time we have used is taken off our 70 and we have to park for 10hrs minimum. Once we use up that 70hrs we have to park for at least 34hrs to get it all back. #logistics #transportaion #workforaliving

Scooted my tool box forward a bit the other day because my tarps kept rubbing the back of the truck cab. It was fine with a flatbed but since I'm pretty sure the van trailers come a bit further forward I was worried there might be a clearance issue when making tight turns. But it clears no problem so I'm good to go. #trucking #transportaion #logistics #workforaliving
