Here’s the Part of Comey’s Testimony That Could Come Back to Haunt Him

Former FBI director James Comey unloaded on President Donald Trump Thursday morning in a hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, calling the president a liar and strongly suggesting that he attempted to obstruct justice by asking him to end an investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Comey said that he believes Trump ultimately fired him because he did not like the path that the FBI investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence officials was taking, and he confirmed that he had begun taking detailed notes immediately after every one-on-one interaction with Trump after his first interaction with him. One nugget of Comey's testimony, though, may come back to haunt him -- his admission to California Senator Dianne Feinstein that he had trouble “reading” the president in his conversations with him.

Flatbed transportation provider Beemac Trucking has announced opening a new terminal in Franklin, Penn., to expand its operations in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio.

The new addition is the 23rd Beemac Trucking terminal in North America. The new terminal will operate with more than 25 trucks and features a two-bay, full-service shop.

The company is bringing in Tim Engles to run the new terminal, an industry veteran with over 30 years of experience operating Engles Trucking and Engles Leasing since 1988.

“The addition of Tim and his team helps Beemac meet the growing capacity demand in the Western Pennsylvania market while also utilizing the new customer base to operate all Beemac trucks more efficiently,” said Richard Casoli, vice president of Beemac Trucking. “A key area of success in onboarding was our agent/driver pay package. We expect the Franklin fleet to grow to the 45 driver range to meet current customer demand.”

Beemac Trucking is a full-service transportation provider offering asset-based trucking, logistics, port, warehousing, and specialized hauling services. The company operates more than 350 trucks and is headquartered in Amrbidge, Penn.
