When I began writing this blog last April, I had no idea of the new world that I was entering. One of the interesting things to come out of this world has been the experience of seeing my blog referenced or quoted in other blogs. In fact, what makes blogging so much fun is to see a fellow blogger take your thoughts in a new direction with a different perspective. Similarly, I receive inspiration and insights from other bloggers and try to share these with the readers of this blog.
This is what happened this week as a fellow blogger, E. Phil Haley, who writes, Life on the Road, picked up on the potential in NASCO, North America’s Super Corridor that runs from Mexico to Canada, to highlight the opportunity that this trade corridor and other trade corridors may offer short haul truckers. Subsequently we have been exchanging e mails in order to discuss other potential trade corridors (e.g. Port of Prince Rupert, British Columbia through western Canada to Chicago all the way down to New Orleans, Port of Halifax, Nova Scotia through Montreal/Toronto to Chicago and on down through the heartland of the United States).
The point is that blogging becomes truly great when it results in the sharing of ideas and opportunities. Since there are a number of good transportation and logistics industry blogs, I would like to share those with those of you who read this one. Each blog is shaped by the background and experience of the blogger. Here are a few that are worth a look.

Like you, I have just entered the world of 'Trucking Blogging' and find it exciting to exchange ideas on industry problems and solutions. I find the blog format to offer an advantage over normal print journalism in that established media tends to only report on information/ideas/inspiration from large companies. That means that a whole lot of individual insight is often overlooked.

There are very few transportation and logistics blogs. You have made some important point over here.
