What Will the Trucking Industry Look Like in 2020?

"As is stands right now, the trucking industry is not particularly green--just ask anyone who has been stuck in traffic behind a gas-guzzling, exhaust-belching 18-wheeler. But if the industry is to survive in the next decade, it will have to go through some major changes. According to IBM's "Truck 2020: Transcending Turbulence" report, it will, at least partially thanks to telematics."

Responsibility

"I have watched good kids from good families make bad choices, and kids with no seeming chance make good choices. But one thing I have observed. Very few teenagers make the hard choice without some outside encouragement or help in understanding the known consequences, from some source. They nearly always opt for the choice that involves the most fun and/or the least immediate pain, and then learn later that they now have to make yet another choice as a consequence of the original one. And thus they grow up. So quickly."
