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. Those idiot Secret Service people can’t be that terrible. Kamala Harris will likely be … Continue reading Biden bows out | #188

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.

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

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?

People complained about my position on TMC and the hair issue as I call myself a Libertarian. Those two things are not incompatible and I’ll show you why. Stop going to the government to solve your problems!

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? President Biden will never tell us. Also, many liberals came out to comment that Trump deserves it for his policies. No he doesn’t! Don’t like him? Work … Continue reading Was the assassination attempt against...

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.

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 … Continue reading If you volunteer don’t complain | #179

Are you ready for a level 8 electronic inspection? This is being tested in two states and will likely expand to the whole country. I go though it and give my thought and of course go off on a tangent about Lutz driver facing cameras.

I am sick of these different pride months. When does it end? This month is disability pride month. You should not be proud of something you are. You should take pride in something you do. An accomplishment. A victory. If you were born a certain way, that is not something to be proud or ashamed … Continue reading Pride is only for accomplishment | #176

Drivers wrote and complained that there really aren’t any six figure jobs so I looked and found one in just a few minutes. How many are there if I really looked harder? Local driving jobs are around if you really want one. Go local and go home.

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. Mark@TruckingAnswersNation.Com

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 … Continue reading Another trucking company leaves drivers stranded | #171<...
