Trucking Lawsuits | Tesla Semi by the numbers | Weird State Laws | #132



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.

Twitter Freedom | Trucking for short people | A Reason we are not on Mars #131



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.

Trucking Answers | Unabridged | A Reason we are not on Mars | #121



In this pumpkin spice flavored episode I discuss Werner and Kodiak and the pact they have to move freight without drivers.  They start their first lane soon and it will be working the exact way I said so I believe that they listen to the podcast.  I-80 in Illinois will be under construction near Minooka until 2027.  Are you ready for that?  The Natural Propane Gas Association wants to be able to work the drivers 17 hours a day and drive for 14 of those hours.  Who wants to work for 17 hours a day?  Tesla has a robot named Optimus that is going to probably take over the world as soon as it can.  Topeka, Kansas shows us why we don’t live on Mars and may never.  Also, a new driver facing cam gives gold stars for good driving.

Trucking Answers | Colonial Closes-USX has issues | A Reason we are not on Mars | #112



In this implanted episode I discuss the closing of Colonial Freight.  They opened in 1943 and will be closed in a week.  Wow.  Always be ready to move on to a new place!  This is a problem for lease purchase drivers as well.  US Xpress announces more layoffs and I put them on death watch.  We will see what happens.  When other large companies are announcing record profits US Xpress announces layoffs.  Curious.  People are implanting Tesla chips n their hands.  Good idea?  No.  Dealer markups are getting out of hand, or are they?  Also, a reason we are not on Mars ripped from todays headlines.

Trucking Answers | Crimo | Trucking News | Automotive | A Reason we are not on Mars | #96



In a gun-free zone episode I discuss the recent events in Highland Park as more information becomes available.  I even bring actual facts to the table which I know many people do not like. The gun used was already banned under the strict gun control laws there.  Did it help? This Robert Crimo III we know must have had some kind of upbringing.  Look at the “mural” on the house!  Yikes.  How do we stop this?  You may not like the answer.  Safe driving week is next week so get ready for that.  A Tesla crashes into a parked semi at a rest area.  How is that possible?  I will tell you.  A Reason we are not on Mars.
