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.

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.

In an amazing relationship episode I discuss some marriage tips as my anniversary comes around.  Take them or leave them, there they are.  TA Truckstops is going to renovate 100 stores this year.  They need it.  Will there be a California to DC convoy?  There is talk of it.  Joe Biden wants 50% of cars sold new to be fully electric by 2030.  Will that happen?  Also, are streets against those on the lower levels of society?  Another reason we do no live on Mars from North Carolina.

We are back and the world quakes!  Today we discuss the Supreme Court and why the best person should get the job.  A criminal is killed and no one blames the criminal. A trucking company gives a raise but it should not be celebrated.  Illinois will allow you to track road shootings.  Nice.  Kia has a recall.  SUVs make up over 80% of new car sales in the US.  Our cars are fat and I will tell you why.  A reason we are not on Mars.

In a thrilling episode Todd Spencer talks to the media about trucking.  He says drivers want to get paid for their time but do they?  I wonder.  Meera Joshi is leaving the FMCSA before she even got appointed.  Nice.  The vax mandate stands as of this taping but we will see what the Supreme Court says.  I am not an attorney.  It is 2 days to Festivus!  An RV buyer gets taken for a ride.  Also, more winter tire talk from an email I got.  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.

In an International Powerhouse broadcast we discuss the Colorado Accident from 2019.  There is sentencing.  Also, Central Freight Lines closed and I go into what might have caused it and what you should do.  Is it a WARN act violation?  I am not an attorney as I say in the show.  Schneider wants you to prove you aren’t drinking.  I don’t like it even if it makes us safer.  Japan has a butt sensor to shut off your car.  Yes.  From Florida we have a reason we are not on Mars.
