POT, TRUCKERS & THE NEW T680E. There is a new rise in drug screen failures and refusals. The September statistics are out and there is over a 9 percent increase in truck driver drug failures. With the increased amount of unemployed truck drivers, it is possible that some are turning to drugs for comfort. Even more alarming are the number of drivers that have not started the RTD (return To Duty) process. Approximately 78% of the drivers that have failed, have not started their RTD. This could be a huge number of drivers that are seeking another career. With the large driver shortage in the industry, this is sure to have a negative impact on the entire hiring process.

The new Kenworth T680E is set to go on production in 2021. The new Eletric semi truck with come in mostly day cabs. The truck will have a range of 150 miles. Kenworth is and has always been an innovator when it comes to moving forward into the future. We are excited to see where this new concept will end up. The new Kenworth is just the right truck for those that have a fully green fleet in mind.

Ice Road Truckers Star to serve house arrest

Art Burke, the Ice Road Truckers star has run into a little trouble with the law. Burke was charged in connection with a fire at an apartment building in Yellowknife in Canda’s Northwest Territories. The fire occurred in November of 2018 when Burke was trying to make a concentrated form of cannabis called “shatter,” according to reports by the CBC.

One of the most beautiful and photogenic types of marijuana products on the market right now is shatter, also colloquially called shatter wax, shatter weed, or marijuana shatter. Highly sought after and often Instagrammed, shatter burst onto the scene in a major way in the early 2010’s, giving cannabis consumers a potent new way to vape their favorite strains.

So what is shatter? Industry experts define shatter as a type of marijuana extract, created by extracting the plant’s  essential oil, which contains the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. The term shatter specifically refers to a specific texture of translucent cannabis concentrate that breaks and shatters like glass.
