Trucking Answers | Brink’s Truck | Cars are cute | A Reason we are not on Mars | #102

Trucking, , , , , , , , ,

In a Peterson Automotive Museum worthy restoration we discuss the recent robbery of jewelry from a Brink’s truck in California.  I don’t know if they were wearing a mask but I sure hope so.  Better to be safe than sorry when robbing a truck.  Also, cars are cute but you shouldn’t be in charge of buying one if you think that.  One owner means nothing when buying a used car.  A reason we are not on Mars.  The weather on Mars.

In an I Want My MTV spectacular I discuss marriage equality!  Brilliant.  The American Trucking Association has a Women in Motion thing going.  Why is that not a good idea?  Discrimination.  Is old school trucking better?  Yes and no for sure.  The Driveri driver cam is here from Netradyne and it is going to give you a gold star.  SERIOUSLY.  You will coached BY THE CAMERA.  No wonder drivers are quitting trucking.  VinFast is bringing Vietnamese cars to the US.  Not really bring them as much as making them here in the US.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

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 a Science-Fair Gold Ribbon episode I discuss some things on my mind like the 1776 Restoration Movement.  What they heck is it and what do they want?  Also, dash cams are a great idea.  Nissan has a recall.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | AB5 Discussion | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #93

Trucking, , , , , , ,

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.

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.

Trucking Answers | Buyouts | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #87

Trucking, , , , , , , , ,

In a spine-chilling episode I discuss the recent spate of buyouts in the trucking industry.  One big buys a little and so on.  Heartland bought Millis and then Smith Transport.  Now PAM is buying Metropolitan and possibly changing the name to Met Express.  What?  Also, Samsara is in the news with a new and exciting product that is sure to make truck driving even worse than it is already.  As if there weren’t enough ways to watch you they have come up with another way that is more terrible than what they already do to us.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | To Union or Not? | Automotive News | A Reason we are not on Mars | #86

Trucking, , , , , ,

This inspiring podcast will discuss if you need to form or join a union.  I get many letters from people with issues that could be solved by a union.  A long range BMW electric is coming but is range the real problem?  I discuss why kids need a village but their parents don’t want it.  A reason we are not on Mars.
