Macks keep Waste Pro sustainable

GuardDog Connect stays ahead of the curve

Every day, more than 500 drivers — including nearly 200 ­owner-operators — haul loads coast to coast for Carroll Fulmer Logistics Corporation, Groveland, Florida.

Family pride fuels six decades of growth at Comcar

Mark Bostick always knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He learned the trucking industry at the knee of his father, who worked long hours building what would eventually become Comcar Industries.

Remembering the ‘Mighty O’

Silently, the veterans of the USS Oriskany, a Korean War-era aircraft carrier, huddled together, collars turned up against the wind, hats drawn low to hide tears as they stood on the decks of some 400 charter and pleasure boats dotting the Gulf of Mexico in a loose semicircle Wednesday morning. This was her moment, her final battle, and they were determined to do it right.
