Safety. This is a hard area to measure. Evidence tells us that the factors influencing fuel economy also influence driving safety. We know that a safety program is only as good as your ability to measure activities. LoadTrek gives you the ability to run Driver Scorecards, Accident Analysis reports, and alerts you to abnormal operations.

Compliance. The economic burden of compliance is growing. Most of our customers redirect the time saved from administering log, driver payroll, and fuel tax activities into more productive activities. Audits from FMCSA, state DOT agency, IFTA, or Department of Labor are easier when your records are complete and instantly accessible.

Routing. Can you save 1% of your annual distance traveled? A small percentage can reap huge dividends. You know your cost per mile. The ability to see your activities and plan for backhauls or additional revenue opportunities is a big profit factor. Think of the ability to attach every vehicle move to a load or to specific work. When you see vehicle use that is not attached to an authorized activity, you are spending money and exposing your company to risk. A key component of reducing accidents and reducing expenses is simply reducing vehicle usage.

Steve Yockey , creator of the Max series “The Flight Attendant,” is joining Starfleet as the new screenwriter for “ Star Trek 4.”

Story details remain under a powerful cloaking device, but Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot still intend the project to be the final chapter for the cast that rebooted the franchise in movie theaters with 2009’s “Star Trek,” including Chris Pine (as Capt. James T. Kirk), Zachary Quinto (as Cmdr. Spock), Zoe Saldaña (as Lt. Nyota Uhura), Karl Urban (as Dr. Leonard McCoy), John Cho (as Lt. Hikaru Sulu) and Simon Pegg (as chief engineer Montgomery Scott). ( Variety first reported the news in its cover story on the future of the “Star Trek” franchise.)

Yockey’s involvement is the most promising sign of forward momentum the project has had since. The playwright started his TV writing career on the MTV series “Awkward” and “Scream,” before joining the writing staff of “Supernatural” for four seasons. His latest series, the Sandman universe adaptation “Dead Boy Detectives,” will premiere on Netflix in April.

Paramount is also developing a separate “Star Trek” project, with writer Seth Grahame-Smith (“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”) and director by Toby Haynes (“Black Mirror: USS Callister”), that would feature a new cast in a story meant as a kind of origin story for the franchise. A project with screenwriter Kalinda Vazquez (“Fear the Walking Dead”) first announced in 2021 also remains in development.

Yockey is represented by CAA and Slate PR.

Charting dual careers in music and acting, Gossett was a regular at the folk music clubs of New York City in the ’60s while continuing a busy Broadway and Off Broadway career, notably in the long-running Jean Genet’s The Blacks along with James Earl Jones, Roscoe Lee Browne, Cicely Tyson and others.

Other stage credits from the era include the Broadway play Tambourines to Glory, Golden Boy, The Zulu and the Zayda and My Sweet Charlie , among others.

Gossett’s TV career began in earnest with late-1960s appearances in such series as The Invaders and Daktari , with early-’70s appearances continuing in Bonanza, Longstreet, The Mod Squad and Good Times.

But his major, signature TV role arrived in 1977 when he played the character Fiddler in the much-praised and hugely influential Roots . He won an Emmy for the performance, cementing a TV career that would continue all but uninterrupted through 2019, when he had a regular role on Watchmen . The latter earned Gossett his 7th Emmy nomination.

Subsequent film roles include performances in the The Punisher (1989), Toy Soldiers (1991), A Gathering of Old Men (1987), Curse of the Starving Class (1994) and numerous others — a steady stream, in fact, right up to 2023’s The Color Purple.

His career in episodic TV was equally prolific, with roles in the 1980s ( The Guardian, The Powers of Matthew Star and a reprise as Fiddler in Roots: The Gift ), the ’90s (Picket Fences, Touched by an Angel, Ellen and Strange Justice ), and the 2000s ( The Dead Zone, Lackawanna Blues, Family Guy, ER, Boardwalk Empire, The Good Fight ), among many others.

During his career, Gossett also racked up two Golden Globes and a third nomination, two NAACP Image Awards on six noms, a Daytime Emmy and two other nominations, a SAG Award nom and four CableACE Awards noms. He was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1992.

Gossett was married three times, the first (annulled) in 1964 to Hattie Glascoe, then to Christina Mangosing , from 1973-75 and to Cyndi James Gossett from 1987-92.

He is survived by sons Satie Gossett and Sharron, and a nephew, the actor Robert Gossett.
