In this Arbor Day masterpiece I examine why some truck drivers do not make much money.  They accept little pay.  I look at a Tic Tok video in which a person bemoans their low pay situation and how they should change that.  A remote controlled semi comes to Tennessee.  Is this a good idea?  Toyota recalls every BZ4X because the wheels might come off.  Nice.  I am sick of people complaining about Vroom.  Don’t ever buy a car online!  It is the second largest purchase most people make and you need to see it in advance of purchase.  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.

In a Junetastic episode Heartland buys Smith Transport.  What will change?  I discuss the recent school shooting and what to do about it.  Also, a woman on a subway is attacked and bystanders do nothing.  Truck crashes into illegally parked semi.  Why?  A truck driver is shot by police and his mother sues.  Is she right?  The Toyota Corolla is now AWD available.  Also, not 1 but 2 reasons we are not on Mars including Squeege Guy!

Let’s get to it!  Some trucking news about speed limiters is here.  Comment while you can.  I discuss the recent news about abortion but not in the way you might think.  We need to think about the Constitution in a different way.  Also, I talk about the Christian flag controversy in Boston and why Freedom matters.  The government cannot have a point of view on things.  The ministry of disinformation is also talked about and why that should scare everyone!
Swift Transportation settles another lawsuit. I go over why I have not been doing as many podcasts or videos on YouTube as well.  The new hurricane engine from Jeep is discussed for the Wagoneer.  A drone that shoots almonds (FOR NOW) is here.  A reason we are not on Mars.

In an episode that will likely go to the Petersen Museum I discuss driver churn in the trucking industry and what the ATA has to say about it.  They love it!  Is it good for you?  Walmart raises their pay and will now take students.  Nice.  Tesla semi may be out next year, maybe not.  Someone bought a Dodge Dart this year.  The problem is they stopped making them in 2016!  A Reason we are not on Mars.

In a late podcast I discuss  the Convoy that has finally made it to DC.  One of many it seems.  Also, a truck parking ordinance is taken to task in Tifton, GA but not by me.  I am a fan.  The ATA and DOL partner on an apprentice program.  Save us all from that.  A reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking Answers | You get what you accept | A Reason we are not on Mars | #69

Trucking, , , , , , , , ,

In this thrilling episode I discuss a recent article by Grace Dean from Business Insider and a Werner driver bemoaning the fact that he sees his 3 year old child only 3 days a month.  That is a choice my friends.  I looked and there are plenty of local jobs in the Omaha area, maybe even Werner could work you in the office or locally.  The reason someone would be gone and only see their child 3 days a month is because that is their choice.  The DOT put out a paper and one of the recommendations is to end the exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act that prevents drivers from getting minimum wage and overtime since 1938.  I agree.  Can you imagine how hard the ATA will fight this?  Also, WV will ban any over the air updates to cars unless done at a dealer.  Wow.  What a money grab by the dealers.  A reason we are not on Mars ends the show.

I tell the story of the cable barrier that could have been useful and was not yet installed.  I saw an accident happen in front of me and it should not have happened.  Slow down that Volvo!  You can get a 750hp GMC Canyon.  Nice. A Reason we are not on Mars.
