When should you check your oil? Headlights off for safety. Speed limiters coming soon. A Reason we are not on Mars. #124



In this interstellar episode I discuss the exact time of day to check your oil.  It is not when you think!  Also, running your headlights during the day is actually less safe than having them off.  I explain.  The Cruz trial verdict is out and I talk about it and why the juror is an idiot.  Did you know you have a customer score at the dealership?  I will tell you about it.  Also, a Reason we do not live on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Illegals to be housed on cruise ships | Joy Reid is an idiot | On Patrol Live



In a crime free episode I discuss a little about what is happening in society.  It isn’t just trucking.  Joy Reid is an idiot and thinks only certain people commit crimes.  That is not the case.  The mayor of NYC is going to house illegals on cruise ships that will dock there.  Isn’t that nice?  Don’t you wish you could live on a cruise ship?  Around this time in 1972 a scab truck was shot at and it blew up near Springfield, MO.  Remember that and the scab company?  Watch On Patrol Live to get the real view of what it is to be a police officer.

Trucking Answers | Unabridged | A Reason we are not on Mars | #121



In this pumpkin spice flavored episode I discuss Werner and Kodiak and the pact they have to move freight without drivers.  They start their first lane soon and it will be working the exact way I said so I believe that they listen to the podcast.  I-80 in Illinois will be under construction near Minooka until 2027.  Are you ready for that?  The Natural Propane Gas Association wants to be able to work the drivers 17 hours a day and drive for 14 of those hours.  Who wants to work for 17 hours a day?  Tesla has a robot named Optimus that is going to probably take over the world as soon as it can.  Topeka, Kansas shows us why we don’t live on Mars and may never.  Also, a new driver facing cam gives gold stars for good driving.

Trucking Answers | 5 things that have improved trucking over the last 34 years | A Reason we are not on Mars | #117



In a cross-country episode I discuss 5 things that I think have made trucking either better or easier in the last 34 years.  I use 34 years because that is how long I have been trucking.  Trucking is a great career, it still pays the bills and keeps the lights on here at Trucking Answers.  In a future episode I will discuss the 5 things that have hurt trucking in the last 34 years.  Also, ripped from today’s headlines is yet another reason we don’t live on Mars.  Current weather conditions on Mars provided by NASA.

Trucking Answers | Should you get paid based on your bills? | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #116



In an electrifying episode I discuss an incident at my work talking to another driver.  Should you get a paycheck that is based on how much your bills are that month?  That is what some people think but I don’t.  Companies need to compensate you for the things they ask you to do for them no matter if your car payment is $900 or you drive a Yugo to work.  Don’t fall in to the trap of thinking that only your miles should be paid.  Gov Newsome says only electric cars will be sold new and also don’t charge your electric car because we don’t have the power to do it.  Nice.  Weather and a Reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Should the government provide truck parking? | #114



In a Red Sovine classic I discuss if in fact truck parking should be provided by the government.  This stems from the city of New York towing and ticketing trucks for parking overnight in residential areas. TANY says that there is not enough parking and the government needs to step up and do something.  I say that they are doing something, they are removing trucks from residential areas where they are already not allowed to park!
