Trucking Answers | To Union or Not? | Automotive News | A Reason we are not on Mars | #86



This inspiring podcast will discuss if you need to form or join a union.  I get many letters from people with issues that could be solved by a union.  A long range BMW electric is coming but is range the real problem?  I discuss why kids need a village but their parents don’t want it.  A reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Trucking News | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #83



I am back with another episode!  Good to be here.  Today I discuss OTR pay vs Local pay and that OTR should pay more, way more.  The eCascadia is here and Sysco Foods is buying them.  What do you think about a truck with a range of 220 miles and 90 minutes to recharge to 80%?  Sound great? I talk about Vroom and Carvana and why you should not buy from them.  Only buy a car in person.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

Hello!  Here is an update on where I have been and the podcast.  It is not going anywhere it just will not have a regular schedule like it used to.  I volunteered to work last Saturday so I was not able to accomplish much.  Trucking Answers is here to stay.  Telsa is ending the ability for people to purchase the car at the end of the lease.  Interesting.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | Should you quit over a truck? | MotorWeek Talk | A Reason we are not on Mars | #78



In this episode destined for the Broadcasting Hall of Fame I discuss my short time at JB Hunt and if you should quit over a truck.  Answer:  Maybe.  Also, we discuss Variant and the ability to make an unlimited amount of money per week as passive income.  I recall my time watching MotorWeek and that I am sad to hear of the passing of Pat Goss from the show and from the Earth.  The dash is what is important.  A Reason we are not on Mars.

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



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.
