If you volunteer don’t complain | #179

Trucking, , , , , ,

I recently read an article about an Uber driver who was complaining about the amount he received for taking someone to the airport. OK, so what? Just like in trucking, he continues to take people so they continue to pay him the low amount. If you sit around without getting paid, don’t complain. Action is the only way. Let your fingers do the walking and find a better place. The reason trucking companies pay so little is because people accept the pay. You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you accept.

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

Trucking, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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 | CRST setback | Turo | A Reason we are not on Mars | #104

Trucking, , , , , , , , , , ,

In a McDonaldland Playplace filled lunch break I talk about a McDonald’s manager who is mad that no one shows up.  Same problem in trucking.  Also, CRST suffers a setback in a case that has been going on for 5 years.  The Department of Justice has issued a letter saying that in their opinion what CRST is doing is per se illegal.  What CRST trucking does is basically black ball drivers out of the industry by not allowing them to work for other carriers.  I knew this wasn’t right now I feel vindicated.  I talk about the pitfalls of Turo, UBER, LYFT and any other way you can use your car for business purposes.  A Reason we are not on Mars from Nevada.

In this dazzling episode full of sparkle I discuss the correlation between pay and hiring.  Also, Marten suffers a cyber attack.  Werner Enterprises reports record 3Q numbers, remember this at raise time. Sen Blackburn to exempt heroes.  The Electric Cannonball gets a new record from a Tesla Model S.  Still can’t beat an engine.  GM will install 40000 level 2 chargers near its dealerships.  This is not near enough because that means 35 miles an hour of charging.  Hertz will rent you a Tesla and Uber will let you rent a Hertz Tesla for not bad money.  Also, we end up with yet another reason we are not on Mars.
