Trucking Answers | Illegals to be housed on cruise ships | Joy Reid is an idiot | On Patrol Live



In a crime free episode I discuss a little about what is happening in society.  It isn’t just trucking.  Joy Reid is an idiot and thinks only certain people commit crimes.  That is not the case.  The mayor of NYC is going to house illegals on cruise ships that will dock there.  Isn’t that nice?  Don’t you wish you could live on a cruise ship?  Around this time in 1972 a scab truck was shot at and it blew up near Springfield, MO.  Remember that and the scab company?  Watch On Patrol Live to get the real view of what it is to be a police officer.

Trucking Answers | Unabridged | A Reason we are not on Mars | #121



In this pumpkin spice flavored episode I discuss Werner and Kodiak and the pact they have to move freight without drivers.  They start their first lane soon and it will be working the exact way I said so I believe that they listen to the podcast.  I-80 in Illinois will be under construction near Minooka until 2027.  Are you ready for that?  The Natural Propane Gas Association wants to be able to work the drivers 17 hours a day and drive for 14 of those hours.  Who wants to work for 17 hours a day?  Tesla has a robot named Optimus that is going to probably take over the world as soon as it can.  Topeka, Kansas shows us why we don’t live on Mars and may never.  Also, a new driver facing cam gives gold stars for good driving.
