Trucking Answers | Stand up for something | A reason we are not on Mars | #106

Trucking, , , , , , ,

This world beating episode is chock full of items.  I recount some of the things going on and ask people to stand up for something.  The AB5 protesters went home with their tail between their legs and I am disappointed for sure.  They had the ports shut down, what happened?  If you are going to make a change you are going to have to ruffle some feathers.  The court told them to stop.  Who cares?  Take a stand for something at your company or expect to be walked all over by them.  The Toyota BZ4X is back in the news and is being bought back.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

In a century of excellence episode I discuss the recent KLLM purchase of Quest Trucking.  I also did a YouTube video about this.  Some current events are up as well like the 10 year old from Ohio in the news.  What do we do with the attacker?  Walmart buys Canoo vans.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

In a 2-minute wonder episode I discuss KLLM buying Quest.  I am sorry about that for all of the Quest drivers.  Also, drivers in California protest AB5 so they can keep their jobs that don’t pay anything?  What?  How is that brilliant?

In a journalistic masterpiece I discuss the recent AB5 situation.  The Supreme Court declined to take up AB5 so the 9th Circuit Court ruling stands.  There was a hold on enforcement of California AB5 but that will soon end, possibly as soon as today.  Will trucking be doomed?  Is trucking over?  No.  Just new laws to comply with.  Essentially you are an employee unless you start your own business.  Period.  Some automotive news including yet another Toyota recall and a reason we are not on Mars wraps today up.  Companion video about AB5 on YouTube.

I am back from Paternity leave and the show rolls on!  Now is the time if you want to make a change to either the industry or just your personal situation.  Take action and get it going!  Would you get fired rather than take a shot?  Curious.  Meera Joshi will likely be the next head of the FMCSA.  JB Hunt posts some numbers and we go over them.  Did you get a raise the same as they did?  I do some fact checking of what drivers are posting.  Some of what we are saying is simply not true.  Tesla Model Y vs Ford Escape Titanium.  Which one really costs less over the long term?  Is Kawasaki really going to make a gas/electric hybrid?  What?  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

In this world record attempt episode I discuss the semi stowaways and a death had finally come about because of it.  DOT Transportation hosted me for a day and I did a live show there with the higher ups of the company.  DOT is a great place to work and it shows in all the things they do to make the life of the driver easier.  If you need a place, DOT could be the place for you.  SCOTUS will NOT review the AB5 ruling.  This is BIG news and could impact many drivers.  The top 5 best selling vehicles in the US so far this year are listed.  I actually list the top 6 to squeeze in the best selling sedan.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars straight from Fresno.

Another thrilling episode of Trucking Answers is on the way.  This is the 13th episode and it is on the 13th.  Wow, you know what that means?  Nothing.  I go over why you should say no to things to increase the joy in your life.  If it doesn’t inspire you, move you and make you feel alive don’t do it.  I talk about some trucking news including AB5 and 18-20 year olds driving interstate.  Tip:  Don’t worry about it, hardy any will do it.  Automotive news includes the new Bronco being recalled and the New Dodge Hornet for 2023. Plug in hybrid?  Looks like a Nitro.  I explain why you should never pay cash at a dealership even if you have all the cash to buy the car.
