John Murphy Retires Following Four Decades at H.O. Penn After 40 years at H.O. Penn Machinery, John F. Murphy, known across the company and the Caterpillar dealer marketing network simply as “Murph,” has retired as business development and marketing manager, effective June 15, 2026. His career traces the arc of a company veteran who built credibility first in credit, then in operations, and finally as one of the most recognizable marketing leaders in the Cat dealer community. Murphy began with H.O. Penn in 1986 as a forklift credit representative at the company’s former Armonk, N.Y., location. He later served as corporate credit manager until 2005, moved into the role of business operations senior analyst, and in 2015 was promoted to marketing and business development manager. In that position, he helped guide major campaigns, customer events, sales-

support initiatives and the everyday structure needed to move marketing from ideas into execution. At H.O. Penn, Murphy’s imprint can be seen in the company’s open houses, operator challenges, ConExpo participation, 100-year celebrations, machine sales support and many promotional efforts tied to the Cat brand. He was known for bringing clarity to complicated projects, energy to long event days and an instinct for keeping people connected — whether they were customers, colleagues, Cat partners or fellow dealer marketers. Jeff Mitchell, H.O. Penn’s president, knew Murphy throughout his entire career. “I worked with John for the past 39 years and he always gave 100 percent in every role he held,” he said. “I knew that he always had the company’s best interest at heart — a truly dedicated employee. We wish him all the best in this next chapter of his life.” Mike Hattar, H.O. Penn’s director of marketing and Murphy’s manager, said Murphy’s “energy, enthusiasm and genuine interest in people always stood out.” Hattar also pointed to the qualities that defined Murphy’s leadership: “discipline, resilience, leadership, and fairness.” Looking back on decades of shared work, Hattar described Murphy as “a force of nature” whose consistency and 4:40 a.m. gym routine said a great deal about how he approached work and life. Murphy’s influence extended well beyond H.O. Penn. Dean Swartz of Milton CAT called him “a leader, if not the leader” of the Northeast Dealer Marketing Group. Swartz said Murphy was the person who set dates, built agendas and facilitated the discussion, but that his real gift was drawing newer members into the conversation. By asking questions and valuing their opinions, Swartz said, Murphy helped them become active contributors to the broader Cat marketing community. Cindy Snow of Foley Inc. captured that same networkwide view, describing Murphy as “the best conference buddy” and “the most fearless NE Marketing group leader.” Those words echoed a common theme in the notes

H.O. Penn Machinery photo

shared by colleagues: Murphy was not simply present at dealer meetings and conferences; he made them better by pulling people together and making the room feel smaller. Lauren Stanley, also of Foley Inc., said, “John has always been enthusiastic, intelligent, incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging and completely reliable. And that’s just on the work side. We wish him many years of happiness in his next chapter.” For many inside H.O. Penn, Murphy also served as a mentor. Deserie Carrezola said that during the 10 years she worked for him, Murphy taught her about “leadership, professionalism and how to build a meaningful career.” She credited his guidance and support with helping shape her own path, and said his support, encouragement and sense of humor made even difficult days better. Cole Bacon, a friend and colleague reflecting on their years traveling the country for marketing conferences, offered a lighter but equally telling perspective. Bacon said the thing Murphy will miss most in retirement is “the people,” before adding, with the kind of humor Murphy would appreciate, “Oh, and the marketing conferences, so two things.” He also remembered years of friendships, dealer events and shared adventures, including a zip line ride in Las Vegas and the long-running “Weekend at Bernie’s” memories that followed the group from city to city. The tributes describe a professional who combined knowledge with personality: a straight shooter, a trusted voice, a meeting facilitator, a marketer, a mentor and a friend. His career helped strengthen H.O. Penn’s marketing process and its connection to the larger Cat dealer network, but his legacy is just as clearly measured in the people who learned from him and enjoyed working beside him. Murphy now begins the next chapter with his wife, Jan, with plans for more family time, travel, cruises and the adventures long talked about but often postponed by a full calendar. H.O. Penn sends him into retirement with deep appreciation for a career built Cat strong — and for a legacy of leadership, laughter and connection that will continue well after his final day in the office. 

Liebherr Powers Pulaski Skyway Foundation Project With more than 70 deep piles to drill at the bustling Pulaski Skyway Bridge in New Jersey, 3C Drilling LLC turned to Liebherr deep foundation machines for the large-scale project. The machines’ high performance, ease of use and adaptability to diverse soil conditions makes Liebherr a trusted partner to address complex foundation systems, said Liebherr. Founded in 2002 as a small cell tower drilling company, 3C Drilling LLC has grown into an industry leader in drilling and foundation installation, possessing decades of combined industry knowledge. The women-owned company specializes in caissons, drilling, micropiles, helical piles and mini piles. With more than 20 years of experience, 3C Drilling has multiple Liebherr deep foundation machines and purchased an additional Liebherr LB 45 drilling rig to assist with a large foundation project at the Pulaski bridge in Kearny, N.J. “We chose Liebherr LB 45 because it delivered the most power possible with the smallest footprint, which was exactly what we needed for this project,” said Alexandra Cook, COO of 3C Drilling LLC. Handling approximately 67,000 crossings a day, the Pulaski Skyway Bridge spans 3.5 mi. across the Passaic and Hackensack rivers connecting Newark, N.J., to Jersey City, N.J. One of the major challenges Liebherr photo with this project is the need to install deep piles with With more than 70 deep piles to drill at the bustling Pulaski a limited height restriction in place so work can be Skyway Bridge in New Jersey, 3C Drilling LLC turned to Liebherr completed under the bridge, which remains in use. 3C deep foundation machines for the large-scale project.

is actively running two crews to assist with schedule acceleration, however, it is expected to be on site for one two years. 3C Drilling is operating a combination of Liebherr drilling rigs, including the modular design of the leader on both the Liebherr LB 45 and LB 30 to install the shafts at various heights. When the project first began, the LB 45 was used with 26-ft. folding leader configuration, but as the project demands shifted, the machine was converted to “low head” utilizing the same leader in a different configuration with only a change of crowd ropes required. With the change, the LB 45 can be used to install piles sections of the bridge and remain under the height requirement. The LB 30 drilling rig uses the modular leader design; it also is set up in low head configuration to access drilling needs under lower height requirements than the LB 45 can reach. Additionally, 3C Drilling has the option to install its ultra low head leader for the LB 30 to achieve even more of a reduction in machine height. The current configuration paired with a new Kelly bar allows the 3C team to reach a deep drilling depth, using a conventional drill rig while remaining under height requirements in place. Ultimately, 3C Drilling is installing 75 drilled shafts and one sacrificial demonstration shaft for the rehabilitation of bridge piers along the Pulaski Skyway. The drilled shafts are 60 in. in diameter with 54-in. rock sockets, and the varying depths of the foundations range from 130 in. to 150 in. 

AI-Driven TMS Becoming Part of Dispatching Process TMS from page 1

A traditional TMS records data related to loads, drivers and documents, whereas an AI-powered TMS reads that data and acts on it in the moment. The shift takes the system from a digital filing cabinet to a working assistant, said Lily Kelce, industry lead of AI-powered TMS software provider Tentrucks. “For years, a TMS was passive,” she said in a Tentrucks blog post: Information was entered and the system held it. “The better platforms have become active.” The backbone of tech-enabled dispatch is a good TMS or dispatching software platform, said Madison Jones of azbigmedia.com. As she explained, “modern dispatching software acts as a mission control for trucking operations.” Today’s TMS can automate countless tasks that once ate up hours of a dispatcher’s day, said Jones. When a new load comes in the system can automatically match it to the best available truck and driver based on location, load requirements and driver hours. She said that’s a process that today takes seconds, not phone calls. “Load details, driver status and route info are all in one digital dashboard.” And today’s dispatch software has the capability to integrate with other systems including ELDs, GPS Adobe Stock photo Traditional TMS are transitioning from data storage systems to instantaneous information tools for trackers and back-office accounting software. This means an owner-operator’s data flows in real quick decision making by dispatchers and logistics managers. time without duplicate data entry. One leading platform, said Jones, connects with more than 30 different ELD providers and syncs with QuickBooks, eliminating manual reentry and errors. She said when a dispatcher assigns a load, the ELD pings the system and everyone knows where that truck is and how many hours the driver has left. “Likewise, billing info can be generated as soon as a delivery is completed, with electronic proof of delivery captured.” That’s why automation is huge — routine updates like “driver arrived” or “load delivered” can be sent automatically to brokers and shippers. This instant relay in turn frees up dispatchers from constant check-in calls and all of this ramps up workflow as it cuts down on administrative overhead. Jones said, “in short, truck dispatching operations can handle more loads with the same staff, because the software takes care of the grunt work.” AI-powered TMS systems review every load, watch for mistakes and handle the repetitive tasks that used to fall on a dispatcher or the owner. “That change matters most for smaller carriers,” Kelce said. “An owner-operator does not have a back-office team to catch errors. An AI-powered TMS fills that role.” With an AI TMS, a single operational platform can replace disconnected spreadsheets, separate accounting tools and manual processes.

Dispatchers Save Time With New Management Systems TMS from page 18

Asking the Right Questions About AI-Powered TMS The decision that matters most for a mid-market fleet is a shared database, said AI-powered TMS provider PCS. It boils down to “whether dispatch, accounting and fleet data share one database,” for starters. The next question is whether AI operates inside the workflow or in a separate dashboard. And finally, whether the platform scales from your current fleet size without forcing a migration later. The software license is only 20 to 25 percent of the TMS investment, said PCS. Integration, training and implementation make up the rest. “AI in transportation management delivered real value in 2025, but only in narrow, well-defined workflows,” said the company. Load matching, empty mile reduction, backhaul identification and exception prioritization were tracked, but the technology wasn’t intuitive. Platforms that embed AI natively into dispatch workflows outperformed those that added it as a separate reporting dashboard. “The distinction matters because AI recommendations depend on data quality and data freshness,” said PCS. “A TMS with AI bolted on top of disconnected dispatch and accounting systems recommends based on stale, partially complete data.” With AI built into a unified database, a TMS can recommend based on live ELD status, real load records, current driver location and historical lane performance. “Same algorithm, vastly different outcomes,” PCS said. Its proprietary AI system analyses more than 36 data points to recommend the best driver for a specific load. Load location, remaining hours of service, equipment type, lane history, driver preferences and customer restrictions are all taken into account with AI technology. “Every recommendation includes the reasoning behind it so dispatchers can see why the system chose that driver,” according to PCS. Dispatchers can override operational judgment with AI. “The transparency … separates a tool dispatcher’s trust from a black box they ignore,” the company said. An AI-powered system also can identify profitable return legs and contact shippers automatically before the outbound delivery completes.

Transport management systems that can automate countless tasks are now replacing old technology that in the past added hours to a dispatcher’s day.

“Most carriers start backhaul-sourcing after the driver delivers,” PCS said. “By then, the truck is already empty and the dispatcher is scrambling.” “Running that search in parallel with the outbound load closes the gap between delivery and the next revenuegenerating mile.” The TMS solutions provider suggests owner-operators ask TMS vendor certain questions about AI-powered systems. First, does the AI run inside the dispatch screen or in a separate analytics dashboard the dispatch team has to open separately? Second, what data does the AI actually access and is that data live or batchsynced? “The answers determine whether AI is an operational tool or a marketing feature,” said PCS in a blog post. Best AI-Powered TMS Have Certain Qualities Kelce of Tentrucks believes the best TMS platforms this year “treat automation as a way to support people, not replace the human side of freight.” She noted four features that separate a “strong” AI-driven TMS from a dated system: • Fast onboarding with no formal training: “If a system takes months to learn, it works against you,” said Kelce. “A modern TMS uses a clean, intuitive dashboard that a team can use on the first day.” • AI plus human support: Kelce said AI handles data checking and automation well. However, “it does not handle a hard rate negotiation or a broker relationship,”

she said. “The strongest providers back their software with real people, such as 24/7 managed dispatching, for the work that needs a human.” • One centralized system: Running separate apps for accounting, tracking and compliance creates duplicate work and blind spots, said Kelce. A 2026 TMS can bring ELD data, accounting and automated international fuel tax agreement (IFTA) reporting onto a single screen. • A real connection between cab and office: “Drivers on the road and dispatchers in the office need to share information without phone tag,” said Kelce. “That requires a dedicated, responsive mobile app, not a third-party add-on.” Kelce believes the best TMS for a 200-truck enterprise fleet is the wrong TMS for an owner-operator. She said the reverse also is true. Owner-operators shopping for AIpowered TMS should match the platform to their operation. She offered a list of points to consider: • How many trucks do you run? Enterprise platforms are built for hundreds of units and assume an IT team. Carrier-first platforms are built for 1 to 50 trucks. • Who handles your dispatch? If you want managed dispatching included, you need a provider that offers it. If you have your own dispatch staff, software-only is fine. • How fast do you need to be running? Some platforms take months to implement. Others are usable the same week. • What has to integrate? Most carriers need QuickBooks, an ELD and IFTA. Large 3PLs need deep enterprise ERP connections. • What is your budget model? Enterprise

contracts are large and custom. Carrier-first platforms use predictable, smaller plans. • What if your operation is small, say your fleet is less than 10 trucks? Kelce said for owner-operators, the best TMS is one built for small operations. It should be “fast to learn, affordable and able to handle dispatch, IFTA and invoicing in one place.” Once paperwork, dispatch and compliance start costing more time than they should, a TMS pays for itself even at one truck. And she said, today’s systems are not meant to replace the human worker. Instead, it combines AI with human dispatching support. “AI handles data checking and automation,” said Kelce. “It does not replace the judgment needed for rate negotiations and broker relationships.” Backoffice integration for most carriers are QuickBooks for accounting, a registered ELD for hours of service and automated IFTA reporting. Pricing for an AI-powered system depends on the platform and your fleet size, she said. Enterprise systems use large custom contracts, whereas carrier-first platforms use smaller, predictable plans. “Moving to an AI-native TMS is one of the fastest ways to reduce friction, support driver retention and protect margins in a volatile freight market,” said Kelce. “The key is matching the platform to the operation. Enterprise systems suit enterprise fleets.” She believes that for North American carriers and owner-operators, a carrier-first platform combining AI tools with human dispatching expertise is the better fit.  CEG

Skanska to Take On East Side Greenway Connector Project

NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) Commissioner Paul A. Ochoa announced Skanska USA Building Inc./Claire Weisz Architects, LLP (WXY) as the apparent selected proposer for a design-build project that will construct the new East Side Greenway 14th Street Connector. The greenway will replace the very narrow path that now exists from East River Park to Captain Patrick J. Brown Walk adjacent to the FDR Drive, commonly known as the “pinch point.” The $163 million project will provide a wider path suitable for two-way pedestrian and bike traffic. DDC is managing the project for NYC Department of Transportation and NYC Parks. “This new greenway will connect two parks on the East Side, allowing for continuous two-way travel for cyclists and pedestrians along the FDR Drive,” said Ochoa. “This effort is one of many on the East Side, including the East Side Coastal Resiliency and Brooklyn Bridge-Montgomery Coastal Resilience projects, that will transform the coastline for generations. These infrastructure upgrades are beautifying our City, making it greener and more accessible for New Yorkers. Additionally, using design-build alternative delivery for this project allows us to move forward quicker when doing this type of infrastructure work with ‘best-value’ for the city.” The project will construct foundations, piers and superstructure of the new greenway to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists traveling along 14th Street, next to the FDR Drive over the East River. The early design includes the installation of benches, trash receptacles and drinking fountains. DDC will hold extensive meetings to compile input from the community for this project. The city will work closely with Con Edison to maintain their operations at the East River Generating Station located at 14th Street and Avenue C. Construction is expected to begin in early 2028, with the design engagement scheduled ahead of the groundbreaking. Using design-build, DDC is accelerating the project’s construction timeline by approximately two years, compared with traditional design bid build. Design-build streamlines design and construction through early collaboration, allowing critical public infrastructure to reach communities faster while saving costs. DDC has already successfully built several public buildings using design-build, including the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center and Queens Garage behind the Queens Borough Hall. 

Major I-81 Upgrade Tackles Bridges, Safety, Congestion BRIDGES from page 1

and these bridges must be ready to meet that demand. The old bridges, while safe, contain more chloride ion content than modern standards allow. This older composition has a shorter lifespan than modern construction practices. Travelers through northeast Pennsylvania have seen significant changes as they drive through the rolling foothills. The new bridges will have full shoulders —12 ft. to the outside and 10 ft. on the inside lanes. Redesigned on and off ramps will conform with current design standards. The project was designed by Verdantas and is managed by Stephen Hughes of Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors. The job is a part of the PennDOT Pathways Major Bridge P3 (Public Private Partnership) Program. Hughes is managing two of the six projects within the program Workers are installing beam bridges; most are precast concrete with concrete decks. for PennDOT: this one on I-81 and another on I-78 in Berks County.

The new bridges will have full shoulders —12 ft. to the outside and 10 ft. on the inside lanes.

The complete package of the bridge projects was significant and included: • Two four-span precast concrete beam bridges over the Susquehanna River • One two-span precast concrete beam structure over I-81 • One single-span precast concrete arch structure over a railroad • One single-span buried precast adjacent box beam over Susquehanna Street • Two single-span precast concrete beams over a small stream • Two single-span precast concrete beams over SR-0171 Caring for the River Working over a river and in small streams and tributaries requires detailed planning. “We had some trout stream restrictions, but no time-of-year restrictions,” said Hughes. “We also had to deploy navigation assists and buoys to keep kayakers and boaters from veering into unsafe places.” The team also has built fencing to keep wildlife off the new bridges and roadways. Workers used nearly 2 million sq. yds. of asphalt to build roads 17.5 in. thick. The team will construct approximately 117,000 linear ft. of guiderails. Elsewhere on the project, the construction team used 10,000 cu. yds. of concrete and 40,000 linear ft. of see BRIDGES page 102

The old bridges (two seen here) have been rehabilitated many times and now must be rebuilt to enhance safety and lessen congestion for the 27,000 motorists who use these roads daily.

Hamm Offers Complete Digital Package for Compaction In 2026, roller manufacturer Hamm is offering an extensive assortment of digital solutions to simplify and automate compaction in road construction and earthworks, opening up a new dimension of efficiency, quality and process reliability. At the heart of this assortment are the products smart

The track assist app for Android provides the operator with the key compaction parameters, such as the number of double passes, real-time density values, temperature limits, reversing points or even the degree of compaction and compaction progress.

The new compactors with VA drum make it quicker and easier to achieve a compaction target in earthworks, while also preserving the machine and the resources.

compact pro, smart compact for earthworks, track assist and WPT compacting.

All performance and process data, including the real-time density, are available in WPT compacting, from where it can be used for documentation, analysis and for detailed reporting for a specific construction site.

Smart Compact Pro With smart compact pro, Hamm integrates real-time density into the automated compaction process. The new technology will increase the quality of asphalt compaction and the service life of roads, while simultaneously lowering the costs of road construction and renovation, according to Hamm. Smart compact pro also ensures that compaction targets are achieved, reducing the likelihood of additional expenditure as well as reducing the work involved in removing drill cores. With the help of the new real-time density scan sensor, the density is still calculated in real time, even for static compaction. Until now, real-time density was the missing piece of the asphalt compaction puzzle, which has now been found by Hamm in the form of smart compact pro.

Another benefit: The system is quick and easy to calibrate using a conventional measuring probe. The very first deployment of the system on a construction site was met with positive feedback, with Josef Hebel GmbH from Memmingen putting the smart compact pro to the test by paving 226,000 sq. ft. of asphalt surface course. “This is a really important talking point for us when it comes to increasing quality in road construction and improving the longevity of the roads,” said Heinrich Lang, senior site engineer. “The driver was delighted with the level of support the system offered him on the construction project. From an engineering perspective, we were also really impressed, because we received the density data from the construction site straight away in real time. These real-time densities are critical, because they allow us to react to any faults straight away and, in turn, ensure longer-lasting roads.” see HAMM page 44

With smart compact pro, Hamm integrates real-time density into automated compaction. HAMM from page 37

With WPT Compacting, operators also have a tool to document real-time density data for an in-depth analysis of all performance and machine data. Automatic Compaction to Target Value in Earthworks Another new addition is the HC 130i C VA compactors. These expand the existing product family of compactors with a VA drum (HC 200i C VA and HC 250i C VA) and also feature smart compact. By virtue of an infinitely variable amplitude and a newly developed compaction measurement system, this technology allows compactors to achieve automated compaction to a set target value in MN/m2. As such, the new models offer not only reliable and homogeneous compaction, but also help to make building projects more costeffective by reducing the number of double passes and lowering diesel consumption, according to Hamm. The direct adjustment of the amplitude also effectively prevents jump operation and overcompaction, at the same time as protecting the machine and its operator from mechanical loads. What’s more, it makes the VA drum an energy-efficient system overall. Track Assist The new track assist app for Android is the next phase in the development of the smart doc app and offers drivers an improved driving experience for asphalt construction and earthworks. It provides information on important compaction parameters, such as double passes, real-time density, temperature limits, changes in compaction value, reversing points or the proportion of jump operation. In the next stage of development, track assist will become a fully fledged assistance system that allows operators to compare compaction targets with up-to-date actual results,

according to Hamm.

WPT Compacting In combination with track assist, Hamm presents the Wirtgen Group performance tracker compacting. WPT compacting facilitates monitoring, documentation and analysis as well as reporting both during and after compaction. The process data captured using WPT compacting, which includes the new real-time density measurements with smart compact pro, are transferred to the central construction site and fleet management tool from Wirtgen Group, the John Deere operations center, for analysis and visualization in a variety of views. Another feature is machine communication both between rollers and between rollers and pavers. Track assist and WPT compacting will be available spring 2026.

Integrating Systems for Collision Prevention In road construction and earthworks operations, safety is always the top priority, as work in these sectors often present risks for workers on site. Hamm is turning to digital solutions in this regard too, to increase safety on construction sites and minimize the risk of accidents. For instance, all machines with the easy drive operating concept on the HC, HD+, HX and HP series feature an interface for integrating systems for collision prevention, either ex works or as a retrofit solution. These technologies detect people or machines in the vicinity and warn the operator in time or, if necessary, take action via the machine control system to prevent collisions, for example by means of automatic deceleration or braking the machine to a complete stop. Soon Hamm will also offer a complete system ex works to prevent collisions. For more information, visit wirtgen-group. com. 
