In a longish episode I discuss a conversation I had with a reporter and how you can help.  The United Federation of Commercial Drivers is off the ground and rolling.  We are in the news in Business Insider and there is more news coming!  There is an anti-rollover fifth wheel but I am nervous about it.  OSHA withdraws the vaccine mandate and I agree.  That is over for now.  Diesel is the highest in 5 years and I investigate why.  Mid America Truck Show is around the corner, be there!  Cadillac makes the Escalade V that no one asked for.  Ford Maverick takes no more orders.  A Cruise Ship gets arrested.  What is the worst muscle car ever of all time?  A reason we are not on Mars.

In this head turning episode I discuss the recent mask issues and how afraid people are.  I look into a Florida company shut down but still operating.  Will a letter scare them?  A mega load is moved in Pennsylvania.  KLLM is paying for home time but what does that mean?  Ford partners with ADT on Canopy.  Winnebago makes an electric RV but the range is so limited it is a no from me.  Clark Howard stinks and I will tell you why.  A reason we are not on Mars.

This episode we discuss the new United Federation of Commercial Drivers and what it will do.  The value of something is determined by the buyer, or is it?  When there is a shortage of something, the value is determined by the seller.  Mid America Truck Show is coming up March 24-26.  I’ll be there on Saturday.  Sign up for the private Facebook group!  Blue Comchecks are no longer valid.  Get the new green ones.  Sony might build a car.  5G is a problem and Rivian has no dealers so where do you get it fixed?  A Reason we are not on Mars.

In what will be considered an episode for the ages I discuss the United Federation of Commercial Drivers and what it can do to change the industry.  I was interviewed by Business Insider and I have a link below to that article.  Spread it around so they will do more articles to help change trucking.  I-81 monitors flat tires.  4M miles in 28 years?  Is that possible?  Lincoln sells more cars in China than they do in the US now.  Amazing.  I tell you why.  Tesla can’t keep their cars warm in Canada.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.

The United Federation of Commercial Drivers is ready to be born and you can be a part of it.  OTR vs Local driving and the hours it requires for each.  Winter tires:  Are they better?  What about all weather tires?  My Ford Fairmont story.  Also, a reason we are not on Mars.
