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.

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.

In an amazing relationship episode I discuss some marriage tips as my anniversary comes around.  Take them or leave them, there they are.  TA Truckstops is going to renovate 100 stores this year.  They need it.  Will there be a California to DC convoy?  There is talk of it.  Joe Biden wants 50% of cars sold new to be fully electric by 2030.  Will that happen?  Also, are streets against those on the lower levels of society?  Another reason we do no live on Mars from North Carolina.

We are back and the world quakes!  Today we discuss the Supreme Court and why the best person should get the job.  A criminal is killed and no one blames the criminal. A trucking company gives a raise but it should not be celebrated.  Illinois will allow you to track road shootings.  Nice.  Kia has a recall.  SUVs make up over 80% of new car sales in the US.  Our cars are fat and I will tell you why.  A reason we are not on Mars.

In a longish episode I discuss a conversation I had with a reporter and how you can help.  The United Federation of Commercial Drivers is off the ground and rolling.  We are in the news in Business Insider and there is more news coming!  There is an anti-rollover fifth wheel but I am nervous about it.  OSHA withdraws the vaccine mandate and I agree.  That is over for now.  Diesel is the highest in 5 years and I investigate why.  Mid America Truck Show is around the corner, be there!  Cadillac makes the Escalade V that no one asked for.  Ford Maverick takes no more orders.  A Cruise Ship gets arrested.  What is the worst muscle car ever of all time?  A reason we are not on Mars.

This episode we discuss the new United Federation of Commercial Drivers and what it will do.  The value of something is determined by the buyer, or is it?  When there is a shortage of something, the value is determined by the seller.  Mid America Truck Show is coming up March 24-26.  I’ll be there on Saturday.  Sign up for the private Facebook group!  Blue Comchecks are no longer valid.  Get the new green ones.  Sony might build a car.  5G is a problem and Rivian has no dealers so where do you get it fixed?  A Reason we are not on Mars.
