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 Grammy Nominated episode I discuss the advanced tech in trucks and why it is terrible still.  The ATRI wants us to use it and I want it to work.  I talk about a Texas teen who jumped off a truck he was hitching a ride on.  Yes, that happened.  The LA ports are 24/7 now and Papa Joe says you need to step it up!  The fastest police car currently for sale is the Ford Explorer.  Really.  Vietnam is going to start selling cars here.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

In another lavish production Trucking Answers Podcast talks about driver facing cameras and the Lytx AI tech coming to trucks.  Do you think a camera can drive as good as a driver? I will be visiting GP Transco on Monday Oct 11!  Be there!  Speeding was the #1 thing people were ticketed for during safe driver week.  Slow down!  I relate a story from work again about construction zones.  The ATA road team captains have some advice for you.  The Ford Bronco is recalled yet again. Please do not buy a first year model car.  Mazda may give us a straight 6 engine!  Finally.  Last ones I had were in a Granada and Fairmount.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

In an episode worthy of inclusion to the Smithsonian I discuss the recent announcement from Truck Driver and President Joe Biden that employers over 100 will require the vax or weekly testing.  I outline how this can help those that have gotten it.  It could raise rates and pay, maybe.  There will be court challenges so we will see.  I go into Koch and Sons and what happened with the strength testing lawsuit that came up.  There is a decision.  Also, how much do you get for a holiday.  I heard some people were happy with $100.  That is terrible.  You get locked in a room starved nearly to death and then you are happy when you get a crumb.  Think people!  The VW ID4 is charge tested and I am not impressed.  Also, gap insurance.  Should you get it?  To wrap it up I talk about a couple of criminals in Chicago and how a good robbery can go bad.

In this Epic-level episode of Trucking Answers I discuss the possibility of a mandatory vaccine for interstate travel and how that would be implemented.  Get it or not, your choice.  I-70 is closed again in Colorado for possible mudslides.  Some trucks get tangled up and I discuss why that is happening and redo the headline to be more accurate.  In automotive news I implore you to get two keys when buying a car and also to not do any negotiations without the keys to your trade in your pocket.  I think you should have work done at the dealer, why is that?  A bank robbery is the subject of the reason we are not on Mars today.
