Why UPS trucks don’t have air conditioning | #199

August 29, 2024 • 10 mins
A recent protest by UPS drivers in Texas prompted me to come on and explain why there is no air conditioning in the delivery trucks. It has always amazes me that the Teamster’s union allows this and then puts up what amounts to an informational picket about it. Here is a hint: The reason they … Continue reading Why UPS trucks don’t have air conditioning | #199 .css-1t8gq41{border:none;background-image:none;background-color:transparent;box-shadow:none;color:#2F3133;cursor:pointer;font-size:inherit;padding:0;-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;width:-webkit-max-content;width:-moz-max-content;width:max-content;}.css-1t8gq41:hover,.css-1t8gq41:focus{-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;}

Tim Walz and an old DUI | #197

August 8, 2024 • 5 mins
Should an old DUI stop your life forever? As much as I hate them, no. Tim Walz was arrested for DUI although he ultimately plead guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving. The Republicans are all over this and blasting it everywhere. Don’t you think the Kamala Harris team already looked into it? Plus, … Continue reading Tim Walz and an old DUI | #197 Read more

A recent episode of On Patrol Live had a department stopping a truck driver who had parked directly in front of a sign that said no parking any time. Why do we do this? Drivers complain about the lack of truck parking but are willing to park illegally. Make your problem the company’s problem..The owner … Continue reading On Patrol Live truck parking | #196 Read more

Trump Blackrock shooter updates | #195

August 6, 2024 • 7 mins
We have some updates on the shooter and Blackrock. Remember, a conspiracy is no longer a theory when it is backed up by facts. This is what the main stream media won’t tell you. They don’t want Donald Trump and will do absolutely anything to see him not win.

An illegal truck driver has an accident | #194

August 5, 2024 • 8 mins
An illegal who was hired as a truck driver had an accident that resulted in the death of a citizen. Tragic and it didn’t have to happen. He was hired by a company that has done this before. I have a solution for the illegal problem that Kamala Harris is doing nothing to fix.

Trump visits the NABJ | #193

August 2, 2024 • 8 mins
Trump visits the National Association of Black Journalists. What could possibly go wrong? Well, I considering any organization that separated people by something they have no control over to be racist and or discriminatory. While membership does not seem to be restricted, the name says all you need to know.

Automatic Emergency Braking Stinks | #192

August 1, 2024 • 4 mins
AEB is unsafe and a Representative agrees with me. In 2025 the FMCSA is going to make it mandatory and I think it should be banned! There is no substitute for a safe driver.

Covenant is granted an exemption | #191

July 31, 2024 • 6 mins
Covenant Transportation asked for and received an exemption so they can allow a person with a commercial license permit to drive without a CDL licensed driver in the passenger seat. The licensed driver needs to be in the truck but not the seat. This in no way improves safety and I am against it.

Lytx and Samsara sponsor NTDAW | #189

July 23, 2024 • 7 mins
In the height of irony Lytx and Samsara are listed on the ATA website as sponsors of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week 2024. Hilarious. The American Trucking Association allows them to be a sponsor when, in my opinion, hardly any companies have done more to harm the trucking industry than these two. How many truck … Continue reading Lytx and Samsara sponsor NTDAW | #189

President Biden has decided not to run for reelection. Well, his handlers decided it. What do you think about this: The attempt on President Trump was actually a message to President Biden to get out? Maybe? It was obviously set up.

Something you never thought about the shooter | #187

July 20, 2024 • 10 mins
I want you to think about a few things in a different way. The shooter in the attempted assassination knew which roof to get on. How? Who told him? Plus, he had no social media but communication encrypted? Think about these things as we watch President Trump recover.

American Trucking Association is for the little guy | #186

July 19, 2024 • 5 mins
The ATA has come out in support of drivers being independent contractors even though many of them are misclassified. The American Trucking Association just wants to see people succeed in their dream of truck ownership. My heart is warmed by this

Western Express on a safety panel? #185

July 19, 2024 • 5 mins
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?

Do trucking companies deserve a two week notice? | #183

July 17, 2024 • 15 mins
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!

Recently an assassination attempt against President Trump was carried out unsuccessfully. Was it some random goofball or was it set up either by the government or some group?

Does the Govt force you to drive after 10 hrs? | #180

July 15, 2024 • 5 mins
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.
