I have a solution to the truck parking problem. Some weird state laws are up today sent in by an astute listener.

In a McDonaldland Playplace filled lunch break I talk about a McDonald’s manager who is mad that no one shows up. Same problem in trucking. Also, CRST suffers a setback in a case that has been going on for 5 years. The Department of Justice has issued a letter saying that in their opinion what CRST is doing is per se illegal. What CRST trucking does is basically black ball drivers out of the industry by not allowing them to work for other carriers. I knew this wasn’t right now I feel vindicated. I talk about the pitfalls of Turo, UBER, LYFT and any other way you can use your car for business purposes. A Reason we are not on Mars from Nevada.

A reason we are not on Mars. The weather on Mars.
