Bringing in the New Year with “Fortitude” & “Patience”
Today, I learned that at the front entrance of the New York Public Library, stands two stately stone lions hewn from marble. These lions have stood proudly at their post since the library’s dedication in 1911. At first, the lions were nicknamed after the original founders — Leo Lenox and Leo Astor.

HG Logistics LLC is all decorated for the Christmas season with our little, blue Christmas tree.

Have you thanked a truck driver today?
I just read an article in the September 2021 issue of FleetOwner entitled, “The Importance of Truck Drivers,” written by Michael Roeth, NACFE executive director. In his article, Michael Roeth comments about how trucks and truck drivers are often viewed as nuisances.
