There’s nothing worse than the unexpected happening while you’re out on the road—whether it’s a mechanical failure, a flat tire, or some other unforeseen issue. As a truck driver, you are responsible not only for your own safety but also for the security of your cargo. Knowing what to do if you find yourself stuck on the side of the road can help reduce stress and ensure you’re back on the road as quickly as possible.

At Aim Transportation Solutions, going the extra mile isn’t just a saying—it’s a way of doing business. Aim isn’t only committed to providing top-notch commercial truck services to its customers but also to Aim’s fellow NationaLease members.

Recently, that commitment was on full display when Barrett Baskfield, Service Manager at Aim’s shop in Richmond, VA, along with his team, stepped up to assist Williams NationaLease in a tough situation. One of their trucks had gotten stuck in a hole, and rather than letting them face the costly and time-consuming process of calling a wrecker, Barrett took quick action. With professionalism and efficiency, he safely pulled the truck out, getting the driver back on the road safely and without delay.

As we head into 2025, the landscape of Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) safety is undergoing significant shifts, driven by regulatory updates, cutting-edge technologies, and revamped training protocols. Recent changes by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) target drivers with unresolved drug and alcohol violations, requiring them to complete a Return-to-Duty process to maintain their driving privileges. Meanwhile, innovations in AI and autonomous trucking are set to enhance driver assistance systems and road safety. Coupled with improved training in defensive driving, distracted driving, fatigue management, and pre-trip inspections, these developments aim to create safer, more efficient commercial transportation on the road.

Aim Transportation Solutions, a family-owned leader in commercial fleet services, is excited to announce an expanded partnership with QuikTrip (QT) in Midlothian, Texas. With this expansion, Aim further strengthens its presence in Texas and enhances its ability to serve customers across its network of more than 100 locations and operations nationwide.
