@BrookedTaylor is the handle of Brooke Taylor, sharing humor and views relative to trucking, musical “flashback faves” and more from a home base in Nova Scotia.

@OsborneTrucking shares industry news with an emphasis on equipment- and driver-related items for followers of the self-described “family owned and operated” Cincinnati, Ohio-area dry van fleet.
