In what will be considered an episode for the ages I discuss the United Federation of Commercial Drivers and what it can do to change the industry.  I was interviewed by Business Insider and I have a link below to that article.  Spread it around so they will do more articles to help change trucking.  I-81 monitors flat tires.  4M miles in 28 years?  Is that possible?  Lincoln sells more cars in China than they do in the US now.  Amazing.  I tell you why.  Tesla can’t keep their cars warm in Canada.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

In a podcast broadcast around the world we talk about the latest idea by President Biden to solve the trucking issue.  Pay and training are up as well as the strike at Kellogg’s.  It applies here and will work for everyone.  Is home on weekends OTR?  I look into it.  Also, Ford powers up its beds but you have to run the truck.  Is that useful?  Be sure to test drive a car before you buy it and as is means as is.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.
