According to the Department of Transportation, more than 3.5 million truck drivers transport products across America. But there are only about 311,000 places for them to legally pull over and rest — about one spot for every 11 drivers.

A tractor-trailer hauling squid to a processing facility overturned on a Narragansett, Rhode Island street and dumped its cargo across the pavement, closing the intersection for almost eight hours on a hot summer day. The trailer dislodged and tipped onto its side as the driver navigated a turn on the morning of August 16, spilling what police called a "substantial portion" of its load onto the roadway. Narragansett police responded at 9:27 a.m. and found squid blanketing the street. The intersection did not reopen until 5:15 p.m., nearly eight hours later, after crews brought in heavy equipment and a dump truck to scrape the mess off the pavement.

The USS George Washington has arrived in the Middle East to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln after more than 250 consecutive days at sea, a modern Navy record that exposed serious crew welfare failures and left the Pacific without a single American carrier.

Nine months later, the crew is finally heading home. The deployment was extended in May with no end date announced, and the ship spent more than 270 days total at sea, the longest uninterrupted stretch without a port visit in the modern Navy's history, the Washington Examiner reported . Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said the…Open

An Amazon Prime Air drone dropped a package from roughly 30 feet in the air directly into a Texas woman's backyard pool, and the company says its machines check for obstacles before every delivery. Lindsey Austen heard a loud buzzing overhead, ran into her garden, and started filming just in time to watch a six-propeller Amazon drone hover above her pool, open its cargo hatch, and release a cardboard box into the water. The package bobbed on the surface while the drone flew off, its job apparently done. The footage, shared by ABC7 News , racked up thousands of views within days, and drew exactly the kind of reaction Amazon's expanding drone program does not need as it pushes into hundreds of new markets. Austen says she's done with…Open
