Bill Gates is turning heads again, but not for anything tech-related.

Gates put his money into two transportation companies, signaling he's betting big on an industry bounce-back.

Gates scooped up one million Paccar shares at around $100 each, a $100 million investment in a company he believes has long-term promise.

FedEx announced plans to spin off its less-than-truckload freight division into a stand-alone business.
