In another mind-bending episode I discuss the Uvalde shooting and other issues.  In Chicago an 11 year old carjacks a lady with a gun?  What?  A 73 year old is beaten to death with a road cone by kids as young as 10?  What is happening? We discuss Mrs. Jill Biden and breakfast taco land that she lives in.  The George Washington bridge is now cashless.  About time.  Long lines still happen.  Car dealers are buying new cars and immediately selling them for a profit to avoid getting in trouble from the manufacturer.  Brilliant. Some Canadians EH are mad that they can’t park in a private lot anymore after trashing it like truckers do.  They trashed it like a rock star with empty poutine wrappers.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

In this Titanic-era masterpiece I discuss Safe Driver week and what that means.  If MJ is illegal here, how can we help someone who is charged with it elsewhere?  As-Is means As-Is.  Also, if you don’t take an extended warranty expect to have to pay for repairs out of pocket.  Period.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

In this Arbor Day masterpiece I examine why some truck drivers do not make much money.  They accept little pay.  I look at a Tic Tok video in which a person bemoans their low pay situation and how they should change that.  A remote controlled semi comes to Tennessee.  Is this a good idea?  Toyota recalls every BZ4X because the wheels might come off.  Nice.  I am sick of people complaining about Vroom.  Don’t ever buy a car online!  It is the second largest purchase most people make and you need to see it in advance of purchase.  A reason we are not on Mars.

In this unabridged spectacular I discuss the Biden fuel tax holiday and what it means for you.  Also, Cosby is sued and she wins from something that she said happened in 1975!  That is not right.  Chicago police won’t chase you now if you commit a crime unless it is really serious.  What?  The average student loan is just over $32000 so why can’t people pay that back?  Central Florida Transport hires a driver advocate.  We used to have these everywhere, they were called the Shop Steward.  The average new car payment is now over $700.  Whew.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

I am back with another episode!  Good to be here.  Today I discuss OTR pay vs Local pay and that OTR should pay more, way more.  The eCascadia is here and Sysco Foods is buying them.  What do you think about a truck with a range of 220 miles and 90 minutes to recharge to 80%?  Sound great? I talk about Vroom and Carvana and why you should not buy from them.  Only buy a car in person.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

Hello!  Here is an update on where I have been and the podcast.  It is not going anywhere it just will not have a regular schedule like it used to.  I volunteered to work last Saturday so I was not able to accomplish much.  Trucking Answers is here to stay.  Telsa is ending the ability for people to purchase the car at the end of the lease.  Interesting.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Should you quit over a truck? | MotorWeek Talk | A Reason we are not on Mars | #78

In this episode destined for the Broadcasting Hall of Fame I discuss my short time at JB Hunt and if you should quit over a truck.  Answer:  Maybe.  Also, we discuss Variant and the ability to make an unlimited amount of money per week as passive income.  I recall my time watching MotorWeek and that I am sad to hear of the passing of Pat Goss from the show and from the Earth.  The dash is what is important.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

In an after-MATS spectacular I discuss the show and I throw in some thoughts about Variant.  I think it is super interesting how to get paid there with a literal unlimited income potential.  Fascinating.  I go over some other things in trucking like the average adjusted gross pay of the OO according to ATBS.  Also, why you should use premium in your force induction cars and stop buying the cheap stuff.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.
