Trucking Answers | Trucking News | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #92



In this likely Grammy nominated episode I discuss the Constitution.  Also, CR England may be involved in a Class Action.  Speaking of Class Action, Werner is also on the list.  Same companies all the time.  Weird.  Electric cars are now racist.  A reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Trucking News | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #91



In this Arbor Day masterpiece I examine why some truck drivers do not make much money.  They accept little pay.  I look at a Tic Tok video in which a person bemoans their low pay situation and how they should change that.  A remote controlled semi comes to Tennessee.  Is this a good idea?  Toyota recalls every BZ4X because the wheels might come off.  Nice.  I am sick of people complaining about Vroom.  Don’t ever buy a car online!  It is the second largest purchase most people make and you need to see it in advance of purchase.  A reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Trucking News | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #90



In this unabridged spectacular I discuss the Biden fuel tax holiday and what it means for you.  Also, Cosby is sued and she wins from something that she said happened in 1975!  That is not right.  Chicago police won’t chase you now if you commit a crime unless it is really serious.  What?  The average student loan is just over $32000 so why can’t people pay that back?  Central Florida Transport hires a driver advocate.  We used to have these everywhere, they were called the Shop Steward.  The average new car payment is now over $700.  Whew.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Top 100 For-Hire Carrier Discussion | #89



In a belted out episode I discuss the top 100 for-hire carriers in the United States.  I go over the top 10 and then selected ones from the rest of the list.  Is your carrier a top-100 carrier?  There are good and bad in the list so just because you are at a big place doesn’t mean it is bad or good.  Let’s take a look at the list.

Trucking Answers | Take Action or accomplish nothing | ST:TNG Tapestry | #88



In this mind changing episode I discuss the Star Trek Next Generation episode “Tapestry” and how it relates to trucking.  Doing nothing changes nothing.  You must take chances and stand out from the crowd.  If you follow the crowd do you know where they are going?  No where.  Life can’t just be about going to work to pay bills until you die.  Make a difference!

Trucking Answers | Buyouts | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #87



In a spine-chilling episode I discuss the recent spate of buyouts in the trucking industry.  One big buys a little and so on.  Heartland bought Millis and then Smith Transport.  Now PAM is buying Metropolitan and possibly changing the name to Met Express.  What?  Also, Samsara is in the news with a new and exciting product that is sure to make truck driving even worse than it is already.  As if there weren’t enough ways to watch you they have come up with another way that is more terrible than what they already do to us.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | To Union or Not? | Automotive News | A Reason we are not on Mars | #86



This inspiring podcast will discuss if you need to form or join a union.  I get many letters from people with issues that could be solved by a union.  A long range BMW electric is coming but is range the real problem?  I discuss why kids need a village but their parents don’t want it.  A reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Quick Blast | #85



A quick blast to everyone of a few stories I saw and wanted to get out there. Schneider National buys DeBoer.  Wow, time to look for a new job over there.  A driver asked the FMCSA to be let out of HOS.  Nice try!  USA Truck passes 100% of the fuel surcharge along, finally.

Trucking Answers | Heartland buys Smith | Automotive News | 2 Reasons we are not on Mars | #84



In a Junetastic episode Heartland buys Smith Transport.  What will change?  I discuss the recent school shooting and what to do about it.  Also, a woman on a subway is attacked and bystanders do nothing.  Truck crashes into illegally parked semi.  Why?  A truck driver is shot by police and his mother sues.  Is she right?  The Toyota Corolla is now AWD available.  Also, not 1 but 2 reasons we are not on Mars including Squeege Guy!
