From the highway to the hardwood! 🏀🚛

The answer to our latest "Guess the Location" is Rupp Arena at the University of Kentucky!

James L. captured this photo right on the arena floor, making for a pretty memorable stop along the way.

After more than 40 years, Denise Shell is retiring from CRST Specialized Solutions – and we couldn't be more grateful. 💙

Denise started in 1983 and never stopped showing up. She built real relationships with our drivers and show coordinators along the way, and her care for the people around her made a lasting mark on this team.

Now she's trading her alarm clock for more time with family out of state. That sounds just right to us. 🎉

If you know Denise, drop your favorite memory or a well-wish in the comments!

Thanks for sharing, James! Stay tuned to see if you guessed correctly.

Daylight Saving Time ends next week. Start preparing now.

Even though clocks fall back and we gain an hour, a change in your sleep schedule can still disrupt your body's natural rhythm and leave you feeling fatigued.

Use the week ahead to prepare:
🛏️ Prioritize getting enough sleep each night.
⏰ Keep a consistent sleep schedule and give your body time to adjust.
🥱 Watch for signs of fatigue, including frequent yawning, heavy eyes, difficulty focusing or trouble remembering the last few miles.
🛑 If you're tired, stop somewhere safe and get the rest you need.

Remember: Rest is the only cure for fatigue.

Coffee, fresh air and other tricks may make you feel more alert temporarily, but they don't replace sleep.

The 1980s brought big changes to trucking – and new opportunities for CRST. 🚛

When the trucking industry was deregulated in 1980, carriers gained more freedom to expand their operations and serve new markets.
CRST was among the first companies in the country to gain nationwide operating authority, opening the door to significant growth. In 1984, CRST acquired Malone Freight Lines, followed by additional expansion and organizational changes that helped shape the company we know today.

It was one more step on the journey that has made us one of the largest privately held transportation and logistics companies in the industry today.

Big moves then. Same drive now.
