In a world of fun episode I discuss the concept of innocent until proven guilty. Also, can you get paid to report trucks that are idling? Yes! Make the cheddar! Should you check into your used car before or after you buy it? A Reason we are not on Mars.

In a Gone with the Wind episode I discuss some drivers in Georgia complaining that they are going broke because of high fuel prices. LIES! This is why reporters need to understand the information they are asking about. I also discuss the same problem with Uber drivers in a different way. A Reason we are not on Mars.

In this thrilling episode I discuss a recent article by Grace Dean from Business Insider and a Werner driver bemoaning the fact that he sees his 3 year old child only 3 days a month. That is a choice my friends. I looked and there are plenty of local jobs in the Omaha area, maybe even Werner could work you in the office or locally. The reason someone would be gone and only see their child 3 days a month is because that is their choice. The DOT put out a paper and one of the recommendations is to end the exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act that prevents drivers from getting minimum wage and overtime since 1938. I agree. Can you imagine how hard the ATA will fight this? Also, WV will ban any over the air updates to cars unless done at a dealer. Wow. What a money grab by the dealers. A reason we are not on Mars ends the show.

My last show did not go out as planned and I discuss why that might be and how it allowed me to get a little bit more money than I otherwise would have. Canada is over and we see now that people will do whatever the government tells them to do, no matter what. A person with a peanut allergy annoys me and American Airlines.

I had a conversation the other day with a friend of mine and he was talking about the free market. He said if people don’t like their jobs they can quit. I agree. Also, he said people are lazy and don’t want to work. Which is it? If people can quit, they can quit. Swift has drivers partner with a robot. The Pacifica plug in hybrid is getting recalled. Don’t park it inside or near anything and don’t charge it. Nice. A Reason we are not on Mars.

I have an update on the Freedom Convoy and what is being said by the government of Canada about it. Disgusting if you ask me. Without choice there is no freedom. You cannot vote rights away. Where is Anne Murray when you need her? Central Freight Lines is also up. We are now seeing the fallout of that as drivers have no truck and no money, at least those that were lease purchasing a truck. Never do that! Dodge denies a warranty claim because of a missed oil change. A journalist doesn’t even know how to charge her Tesla. A Prius goes for too much considering it has over 200000 miles. A reason we are not on Mars.

In a Freedom-Filled episode I discuss the blockade by Canadian Truckers and if that could work here. I think we need one voice to speak for everyone. All these disparate groups don’t have power because they are not joined in one place. I have started the United Federation of Commercial Drivers for just that reason. One voice, one place. Until something like that happens in the United States don’t expect any big changes. Carvana is accused of selling a car with recalls even though those can be fixed at no cost at a dealer. I think these should be fixed before selling but it is easy to get them fixed and to check them before you buy. Also, a reason we are not on Mars.
