Trucking Lawsuits | Tesla Semi by the numbers | Weird State Laws | #132

Trucking, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In a state of confusion episode I discuss the new Tesla semi and how much energy it needs to use.  Also, how much that costs.  Trucking lawsuit settlements are in the news.  If a company wants to have a 24/7 camera in the truck and totally micromanage us then yes, they should be 100% responsible for what happens on the road and pay through the nose for it.  I have a solution to the truck parking problem.  Some weird state laws are up today sent in by an astute listener.

Twitter Freedom | Trucking for short people | A Reason we are not on Mars #131

Trucking, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Elon Musk brings back President Trump to Twitter.  There was a poll and ONLY 51% of people thought he should be allowed back.  HUH?  I thought this was America.  I also bring you some quotes from the left that maybe are not completely true.  Should they be banned from Twitter?  To get women in to trucking we need clean trucks, trucks for short people and bigger fridges in the trucks.  Nice.  We all need that.  Also, more transparent job postings which companies are NEVER going to do.  A guy buys a Tesla and doesn’t run the heat so he can get more miles out of it.  Brilliant.  A reason we are not on Mars ripped from today’s headlines.

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 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 | Why no show? | Canada DPRC | A Reason we are not on Mars | #67

Trucking, , , , , , , , ,

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.  Roadcheck is coming up in May.  Some team driving tips after a big tragedy.  Test drive that used car please.  Some memories from my car selling days.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Why the “Free Market” doesn’t seem to work | A Reason we are not on Mars | #66

Trucking, , , , , , , , ,

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.

In a mind-blowing episode I discuss the recent events surrounding the Convoy for Freedom 2022 in Canada and the upcoming one in the US.  Also, the Biden administration has an idea for drug users.  Joe Rogan needs to stop apologizing and emojis are in the news.  3 year old cars are surveyed to see which holds up best.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Freedom Convoy Updates | A Reason we are not on Mars | #64

Trucking, , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

Trucking Answers | Canada Blockade | A Reason we are not on Mars | #63

Trucking, , , , , , , , , ,

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.
