Who chose Western Express to be on a safety panel? Well, here goes nothing. Would you want the maximum speed of your truck to change based on where you are? For instance, a yard is 15 mph. What if the truck turned its speed down to that there?

Should you give a two week notice before quitting your trucking company? Well, does the company value you and your time? Just because something is tradition doesn’t mean we should still do it. Also, as a bonus I tell you how to (hopefully) get your final paycheck!

I saw a video of someone complaining about the HOS and how the government makes you drive after 10 hrs off. Not true at all. You drive when you are ready, not before. Grow a backbone and tell your company you need sleep.

An accident where a driver is killed is headed to court and I agree. Please do not park in an unsafe manner no matter what the circumstances. If you are not parking in a legal spot leave your parking lights on. That could have saved this person. Safety first no matter the company rule.

Sunset Logistics abruptly shut down and left drivers around the country without a working fuel card. While I understand these things can happen, they knew full well what was going on. The same week they had no money for payroll they had four new hires getting started. This to me shows a lack of integrity that is so prevalent in the country today.

Let’s go in the way back machine and see how I got my start in trucking. I started just after deregulation and I will tell you it was a great move for me because I was working at Arby’s at the time and had really no future that I could see there. I wanted to get on the open road and see the sights! I did and now I go home everyday in a local job and love it. Put on your parachute pants and let’s go!

In a twist away from trucking I want to talk about third parties stealing votes from major party candidates. Is this true? Many of you may not know that I ran for office as a Libertarian candidate here in Indiana many years ago. Did I steal votes? No. People chose to vote for me. Same as in the presidential elections. People choose who they want to vote for. You need to earn every vote. Anyone can win if there are no other candidates. Biden actually asked Hilary Clinton of all people for advice! They are scared and should be that they may lose. Be the candidate people actually want to vote for not just the only one on the ballot.
