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.

CRST and CR England settle BIG on non-compete contracts | Trucking News | A Reason we are not on Mars | #130



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.

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



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!
