Trucking Answers | 5 things that have improved trucking over the last 34 years | A Reason we are not on Mars | #117

Trucking, , , , , , , , , ,

In a cross-country episode I discuss 5 things that I think have made trucking either better or easier in the last 34 years.  I use 34 years because that is how long I have been trucking.  Trucking is a great career, it still pays the bills and keeps the lights on here at Trucking Answers.  In a future episode I will discuss the 5 things that have hurt trucking in the last 34 years.  Also, ripped from today’s headlines is yet another reason we don’t live on Mars.  Current weather conditions on Mars provided by NASA.

Trucking Answers | Should you get paid based on your bills? | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #116

Trucking, , , , , , , , ,

In an electrifying episode I discuss an incident at my work talking to another driver.  Should you get a paycheck that is based on how much your bills are that month?  That is what some people think but I don’t.  Companies need to compensate you for the things they ask you to do for them no matter if your car payment is $900 or you drive a Yugo to work.  Don’t fall in to the trap of thinking that only your miles should be paid.  Gov Newsome says only electric cars will be sold new and also don’t charge your electric car because we don’t have the power to do it.  Nice.  Weather and a Reason we are not on Mars.

Trucking, , , , , , , ,

In this Emilia Earhart special I discuss the FMCSA Women of Trucking panel that consists mainly of women who don’t drive.  This panel will advise the FMCSA about how to get and keep women in trucking.  Brilliant.  Of course there is a member from the FMCSA, naturally.  I talk about the car I have had the longest.  How long do you keep a car?  The weather on Mars and a reason we do not live on Mars.

Launch your trucking career the right way!

Trucking Answers | Should the government provide truck parking? | #114

Trucking, , , , , , ,

In a Red Sovine classic I discuss if in fact truck parking should be provided by the government.  This stems from the city of New York towing and ticketing trucks for parking overnight in residential areas. TANY says that there is not enough parking and the government needs to step up and do something.  I say that they are doing something, they are removing trucks from residential areas where they are already not allowed to park!

Trucking Answers | PAM Settles ANOTHER one | Going to get your CDL? | A Reason we are not on Mars | #113

Trucking, , , , , , , , , ,

In this Pamtastic episode I talk about PAM Transport and the fact that they are settling yet ANOTHER class action for the same reasons they always do.  People, please do not even consider working at PAM Transport and do not use Driver Solutions for any reason!  That is my opinion, anyway.  I talk about the lowest priced car I ever bought.  I go over a new service for people looking to get their CDL and begin a trucking career.  Get in the right way!  A Reason we are not on Mars.
