If you follow our blog and social media, you know we love to take an occasional break from talking about trucks to share our favorite dining spots around the Louisville area. Hands down, one of our favorites is Brasserie Provence. We recently had the opportunity to visit for lunch and sit down with the owner, Guy Renoud. Guy is from the city of Cannes along the French Riviera, and came to the states 12 years ago after meeting his wife, Stacy Duncan, in Washington D.C. while visiting a friend in Virginia. Stacy is a professional photographer, and you can see much of her beautiful work featured on Brasserie Provence's website.

To ensure you are practicing good safety tips before, during, and after operating your Ottawa truck, we have created a list of Do's and Don'ts to follow.

Everything from meal prep services to groceries, clothes, and even cars can be delivered straight to your door. As such, we think it's a fair statement to say that e-commerce is revolutionizing the way we purchase everything. As a result, brick and mortar stores are having to change the way they operate, the economy is shifting, and the logistics industry is required to become ever more efficient.
