Note from the editor

 
At times, it feels like every week is infrastructure week, with the talks ongoing on Capitol Hill. But more often, it feels more like no week is infrastructure week, given the torn up state of our roads and bridges.

Now we're heading into the season of hurricanes along the Gulf and Southeast, severe storms in the Midwest and wildfires out West.

Mix stormy skies and bumpy roads — it's a dangerous combination for fleets and drivers. Senior Reporter Jim Stinson explores how trucking firms plan for the double-whammy risk in today's feature story. Read it here.

This is the first in a series of articles in which we examine the impact of severe weather and climate change on logistics networks. Stay tuned for more over the coming weeks.
