Tyson joined Land Line Magazine in March 2014. An award-winning journalist and tireless researcher, his news reports, features and blogs bring depth to our editorial content, backed with solid detail. “Mathing” skills as we call them, are not a known trait in most journalists. Tyson’s love for numbers and research frequently debunk mainstream media reports that grab at the cliche portrayals of the trucking industry. We’re also not sure, but wouldn’t be surprised, if Tyson doesn’t actually have a meteorology degree, too. The “Master of Disaster” brings some of the best natural disaster reporting and what it means to trucking to Land Line.
