The transmission is a push-button automated 13 speed, and Dills noted he's got the truck set up so that any driver can still operate the rig using the traditional pedals, too.https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/2007-peterbilt-379.ZGUQKbwvuK.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/dills-transportation-awards.JPSZ1ySyNd.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Owner-operator Dills placed first in two categories, including "First Show - Combo" as well as "Working Truck - Combo, Lights."https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15822420/chaotic-dmv-ice-raid-bs-canadian-cdls-fmcsas-nondomiciled-ban-one-month-laterOverdriveen2026-04-16T20:58:59.000ZChaotic DMV ICE raid, 'BS' Canadian CDLs: FMCSA's non-domiciled ban, one month laterhttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/bakers.1stIQUEpvn.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70"We have just bought a truck and are trying to get insurance to get it home and the company we were going to use will not accept a Canadian CDL for insurance purposes although FMCSA says Canadian and Mexican licenses are reciprocal," the Bakers said.https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15822491/dot-pulls-74m-from-new-york-over-nondomiciled-cdl-issuesOverdriveen2026-04-16T20:31:17.000ZDOT pulls $74M from New York over non-domiciled CDL issueshttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/screenshot-2026-04-16-at-41253-pm.SlzHvGzZrb.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.overdriveonline.com/parking/article/15822413/truck-parking-replacing-old-coops-trailer-thefts-surface-in-fraudulent-vin-arrestOverdriveen2026-04-16T19:23:35.000ZTruck parking replacing old coops | Trailer thefts surface in fraudulent VINs casehttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/screenshot-2026-04-16-at-93341-am.S2hPbE1Uxn.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70New Hampshire State Police troopers assigned to the Troop G barracks participated in the initiative organized by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA).https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/screenshot-2026-04-16-at-115552-am.Sd3hUs9PDw.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/screenshot-2026-04-16-at-94954-am.606ucWM88c.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Michael Sancillenahttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/anthony-dunne.fRK3p6ajkp.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Anthony Dunnehttps://www.overdriveonline.com/equipment/article/15822302/autonomous-trucking-firms-want-warningdevice-waiver-extensionOverdriveen2026-04-15T20:35:17.000ZAutonomous trucking firms want warning-device waiver extensionhttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/kenworth-t880-front-end.9EiC9axeyy.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The front frame structure option is now available to order for the T880 with the set-forward front axle configuration (T880S).

When he started to see the diesel-price signs pass $4 and $5/gal. with the rest of us in March, he half expected more company in the slow lane, as it were. So many of his fellow truckers still "just blow by me like it’s nothing." Cruise speed remains, he knows, one fuel-saving factor any driver has complete control over. It used to "make a difference that fuel’s $5.50/gal.," he added, but no more it seems. "Everybody drives the same."https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/jay-hosty-2022-western-star-4900-dry-van.UiSPKl1HLL.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Hosty's current trailer is more than 10 years old, he said, and showing its age in the paint on the sides.https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15822175/chameleon-fleets-threat-exposed-by-60-minutes-cabOverdriveen2026-04-14T19:14:20.000ZChameleon carriers: Threat exposed by '60 Minutes,' CABhttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/screenshot-2026-04-14-133810.kOmfgcQDh6.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/screenshot-2026-04-14-at-31209-pm.2LXLo0TbS6.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.overdriveonline.com/equipment/article/15822192/former-montgomery-transport-assets-more-up-for-auction-mack-volvo-recallsOverdriveen2026-04-14T18:50:57.000ZFormer Montgomery Transport assets, more up for auction | Mack, Volvo recallshttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/tiger-group-image-1.smUEmzbNXD.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.overdriveonline.com/life/article/15822206/truckings-top-citizens-ta-recognizes-two-multimillion-milersOverdriveen2026-04-14T18:45:35.000ZTrucking's top citizens: TA recognizes two multimillion milershttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ta-citizen-driver-1600x1200.9XpOiFH8IZ.webp?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70FedEx Freight driver Steven Brand and Hoffman Transportation driver Bruce Jones are the latest TA Citizen Drivers.https://www.overdriveonline.com/reader-rigs/article/15822151/flatbedders-03-pete-running-strongOverdriveen2026-04-14T14:59:32.000ZFlatbedder's '03 Pete running stronghttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ogrady.O6z3kpdaOW.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-extra/article/15822130/how-to-combat-stress-on-road-to-trucking-safety-otr-wellbeingOverdriveen2026-04-14T14:40:25.000ZHow to combat stress on road to trucking safety, OTR well-beinghttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/stress-trucker-getty.l0OkrFc1WP.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15822095/super-ego-accused-of-eld-cheating-stealing-driver-pay-in-60-minutesOverdriveen2026-04-13T21:07:33.000ZSuper Ego accused of ELD cheating, stealing driver pay in '60 Minutes' https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/screenshot-2026-04-13-at-40533-pm.tOY62YgAtJ.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Still from the <i>60 Minutes </i>broadcast, showing the change of company names on the door.https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/van-on-highway-superego.X3z8V10C7I.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15822086/paper-med-card-waiver-extended-into-october-5m-insurance-minimum-back-on-tableOverdriveen2026-04-13T19:22:39.000ZTrucking insurance hike to $5M back in Congress | Paper med cards get more time: FMCSAhttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/truck-highway-medical-certificate.hSR0JZTwnZ.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.overdriveonline.com/maintenance/article/15821809/new-partssourcing-platform-with-ai-voice-chat-visualrecognition-assistOverdriveen2026-04-13T13:57:29.000ZNew truck parts-sourcing platform with AI voice, chat, visual-recognition assisthttps://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/gettyimages-service-bay-truck-parts-tires.we77PBer7l.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://img.overdriveonline.com/mindful/rr/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/partsnow-ai-company-logo.cAOwg085tn.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Browse search options (with voice-assist in both English and Spanish available) <a href="https://partsnow.ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">at the company website.</a>
