Trucking Answers | Colonial Closes-USX has issues | A Reason we are not on Mars | #112

Trucking, , , , , , , , , ,

In this implanted episode I discuss the closing of Colonial Freight.  They opened in 1943 and will be closed in a week.  Wow.  Always be ready to move on to a new place!  This is a problem for lease purchase drivers as well.  US Xpress announces more layoffs and I put them on death watch.  We will see what happens.  When other large companies are announcing record profits US Xpress announces layoffs.  Curious.  People are implanting Tesla chips n their hands.  Good idea?  No.  Dealer markups are getting out of hand, or are they?  Also, a reason we are not on Mars ripped from todays headlines.

Trucking Answers | Stand up for something | A reason we are not on Mars | #106

Trucking, , , , , , ,

This world beating episode is chock full of items.  I recount some of the things going on and ask people to stand up for something.  The AB5 protesters went home with their tail between their legs and I am disappointed for sure.  They had the ports shut down, what happened?  If you are going to make a change you are going to have to ruffle some feathers.  The court told them to stop.  Who cares?  Take a stand for something at your company or expect to be walked all over by them.  The Toyota BZ4X is back in the news and is being bought back.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

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 a century of excellence episode I discuss the recent KLLM purchase of Quest Trucking.  I also did a YouTube video about this.  Some current events are up as well like the 10 year old from Ohio in the news.  What do we do with the attacker?  Walmart buys Canoo vans.  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.

Trucking Answers | Crimo | Trucking News | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #96

Trucking, , , , , , , , , ,

In a gun-free zone episode I discuss the recent events in Highland Park as more information becomes available.  I even bring actual facts to the table which I know many people do not like. The gun used was already banned under the strict gun control laws there.  Did it help? This Robert Crimo III we know must have had some kind of upbringing.  Look at the “mural” on the house!  Yikes.  How do we stop this?  You may not like the answer.  Safe driving week is next week so get ready for that.  A Tesla crashes into a parked semi at a rest area.  How is that possible?  I will tell you.  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 likely Grammy nominated episode I discuss the Constitution.  Also, CR England may be involved in a Class Action.  Speaking of Class Action, Werner is also on the list.  Same companies all the time.  Weird.  Electric cars are now racist.  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.
