A rare astronomical event next week may cause problems for trucking in some areas. A complete solar eclipse — when the moon will pass in front of the sun — will occur over the middle portion of the United States on Monday, April 8.
Portions of 14 states and part of Canada will be plunged into total darkness during daylight hours. The maximum duration of “totality,” as the phenomenon is known, will only last for about four and a half minutes at the most.
