I am sick of these different pride months. When does it end? This month is disability pride month. You should not be proud of something you are. You should take pride in something you do. An accomplishment. A victory. If you were born a certain way, that is not something to be proud or ashamed of. It just is. Plus, you don’t need a flag for everything!

It is in the news. Should President Biden step down? Is it time to allow someone new to come in? Food for thought.

In a twist away from trucking I want to talk about third parties stealing votes from major party candidates. Is this true? Many of you may not know that I ran for office as a Libertarian candidate here in Indiana many years ago. Did I steal votes? No. People chose to vote for me. Same as in the presidential elections. People choose who they want to vote for. You need to earn every vote. Anyone can win if there are no other candidates. Biden actually asked Hilary Clinton of all people for advice! They are scared and should be that they may lose. Be the candidate people actually want to vote for not just the only one on the ballot.

It turns out the confidence in the military is at a low and no one can figure out why that might be. Do you have any ideas? It hasn’t been this low since 1997. Who was President then? The highest was in 2018. I wonder who the President was at that time. We talk about it.

Joe Madison does a show on XM and has a podcast. He has been a broadcaster for many years and I seldom agree with even one word of what he has to say. Today is no different. He had people calling in telling how much taxpayer money they were wrongly getting to pay their student loans off. Wonderful. This is the end of society when people can vote themselves the largess of others.

In a state of confusion episode I discuss the new Tesla semi and how much energy it needs to use. Also, how much that costs. Trucking lawsuit settlements are in the news. If a company wants to have a 24/7 camera in the truck and totally micromanage us then yes, they should be 100% responsible for what happens on the road and pay through the nose for it. I have a solution to the truck parking problem. Some weird state laws are up today sent in by an astute listener.

Elon Musk brings back President Trump to Twitter. There was a poll and ONLY 51% of people thought he should be allowed back. HUH? I thought this was America. I also bring you some quotes from the left that maybe are not completely true. Should they be banned from Twitter? To get women in to trucking we need clean trucks, trucks for short people and bigger fridges in the trucks. Nice. We all need that. Also, more transparent job postings which companies are NEVER going to do. A guy buys a Tesla and doesn’t run the heat so he can get more miles out of it. Brilliant. A reason we are not on Mars ripped from today’s headlines.

CRST and CR England trucking are settling a lawsuit for $2 MILLION total (Western Express already settled for $1.2 MILLION) over allegations that they basically black balled people out of trucking by not conspiring to not hire those on contract to other carriers. By the way, it did not go to trial, no one was found guilty and no wrongdoing is admitted by anyone. The plaintiffs allege that CRST and others conspired together to not hire drivers on contract to other carriers in violation of the law. In MY OPINION no one should ever work for these places. By continuing to work there you are helping them do this. I can help you avoid these scum companies with the link below. Also, Fed Ex Freight is going to furlough drivers! Wow, low freight demand right before Christmas. We have some Rivian R1T news and a reason we are not on Mars.

In this money-laden episode I discuss a company giving huge money to retain drivers. It is like it basically appreciates the long-term drivers and wants to keep them. What a concept! Also, a survey shows the top 10 concerns of drivers and carriers. They are very different. A Reason we are not on Mars involving mashed potatoes.
