Joke of the Week
The HR director at a portable sanitation company
decided to give all of the service technicians a
short written test to see which ones were the most
promising candidates for CDL training.
Going in, one guy seemed like a worthy pick. After
the tests were scored, though, he was ultimately
passed over for promotion.
It might have had something t o do with how he
completed this sentence: "When the ______ is dead, the truck won't start."
He wrote: "Driver."

Trucking Goes Tech
A new online trucking industry resource launches,
connecting drivers all across the country.
Bendix, an American manufacturing company with a large
stake in the trucking industry, has launched a "center of
commercial vehicle information at its website,
safertrucks.com." The center is titled the "Knowledge
Dock," which aims to "help trucking profes sionals stay
connected to the industry," through updates on truck
maintenance, operation, and safety. Any "trucking trends"
or new technology developments will also find their way
onto the platform. Featuring blog posts, videos, podcasts and white papers f rom Bendix's team of industry professionals,
the online resource has something for every trucking industry professional.
Whether you are a owner - operator, part of a fleet's leadership, a driver, a technician, a regulator, an engineer, or a
business lead, the Knowledge Dock plans to offer varying perspectives that speak to each and every person who comes
into professional contact with trucks. Bendix has made industry education their priority, along with accessibility. They want
industry professionals to ha ve access to pertinent information whenever and wherever they may need it, which was the
underlying point behind the new tech resource.
While Bendix offers online and in - person training programs, they believe the Knowledge Dock equally ties into their
pas sion for promoting safety within the industry. As the Bendix Director of Corporate Communications, Barbara Gould,
states, "Whether it's a fleet executive seeking insight about current or pending technologies… or a driver doing a pre - tip
inspection, safetru cks.com is a great resource." R EAD THE STORY
