Lytx and Samsara sponsor NTDAW | #189



In the height of irony Lytx and Samsara are listed on the ATA website as sponsors of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2024. Hilarious. The American Trucking Association allows them to be a sponsor when, in my opinion, hardly any companies have done more to harm the trucking industry than these two. How many truck driver careers have been cut short by their wrong opinion? It is laughable for them to have anything to do with drivers.


Biden bows out | #188



President Biden has decided not to run for reelection. Well, his handlers decided it. What do you think about this: The attempt on President Trump was actually a message to President Biden to get out? Maybe? It was obviously set up. Those idiot Secret Service people can’t be that terrible. Kamala Harris will likely be the new nominee for the Democrat party.


Something you never thought about the shooter | #187



I want you to think about a few things in a different way. The shooter in the attempted assassination knew which roof to get on. How? Who told him? Plus, he had no social media but communication encrypted? Think about these things as we watch President Trump recover.


American Trucking Association is for the little guy | #186



The ATA has come out in support of drivers being independent contractors even though many of them are misclassified. The American Trucking Association just wants to see people succeed in their dream of truck ownership. My heart is warmed by this


Western Express on a safety panel? #185



Who chose Western Express to be on a safety panel? Well, here goes nothing. Would you want the maximum speed of your truck to change based on where you are? For instance, a yard is 15 mph. What if the truck turned its speed down to that there?


But Mark, you’re a Libertarian! The TMC conundrum. | #184



People complained about my position on TMC and the hair issue as I call myself a Libertarian. Those two things are not incompatible and I’ll show you why. Stop going to the government to solve your problems!


Do trucking companies deserve a two week notice? | #183



Should you give a two week notice before quitting your trucking company? Well, does the company value you and your time? Just because something is tradition doesn’t mean we should still do it. Also, as a bonus I tell you how to (hopefully) get your final paycheck!


TMC gets sued, does the same thing again | #182



TMC trucking a few years ago fired a black guy because he wouldn’t cut his hair. He filed a complaint with the civil rights commission and is now suing them. What does TMC do? Fire another black guy because of his hair. Does anyone at TMC have a brain? Who cares about his hair? I have long said no one should work here and I couldn’t believe it more now. The place seems full of immature military wanna be soldiers who couldn’t cut it. These were the hall monitors in school and they are the Sucuritas people of today. I’m not making my bed and I’m not cutting my hair so they can bite me.


Was the assassination attempt against Trump planned? | #181



Recently an assassination attempt against President Trump was carried out unsuccessfully. Was it some random goofball or was it set up either by the government or some group? President Biden will never tell us. Also, many liberals came out to comment that Trump deserves it for his policies. No he doesn’t! Don’t like him? Work to ensure he is not elected. We are not some third world country here. Or are we?


Does the Govt force you to drive after 10 hrs? | #180



I saw a video of someone complaining about the HOS and how the government makes you drive after 10 hrs off. Not true at all. You drive when you are ready, not before. Grow a backbone and tell your company you need sleep.
