In a cross-country episode I discuss 5 things that I think have made trucking either better or easier in the last 34 years.  I use 34 years because that is how long I have been trucking.  Trucking is a great career, it still pays the bills and keeps the lights on here at Trucking Answers.  In a future episode I will discuss the 5 things that have hurt trucking in the last 34 years.  Also, ripped from today’s headlines is yet another reason we don’t live on Mars.  Current weather conditions on Mars provided by NASA.

Trucking Answers | Should you get paid based on your bills? | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #116



In an electrifying episode I discuss an incident at my work talking to another driver.  Should you get a paycheck that is based on how much your bills are that month?  That is what some people think but I don’t.  Companies need to compensate you for the things they ask you to do for them no matter if your car payment is $900 or you drive a Yugo to work.  Don’t fall in to the trap of thinking that only your miles should be paid.  Gov Newsome says only electric cars will be sold new and also don’t charge your electric car because we don’t have the power to do it.  Nice.  Weather and a Reason we are not on Mars.
