Little Johnny The Trucker. Did little Johnny become a trucker? Well he just might have. Tune in this week and hear about little Johnny and his antics. Autonomous Truck Could Backfire on Trucking Companies Driverless trucks are coming to a trucking company near you. It could effect the carriers in the opposite way they expect it. Trucking companies hope to eliminate most truck driers in hopes to improve their fleets. There is however, one small factor they probably haven't taken in to count. Their customers might not need them either. Without drivers trucking companies will make more money. Also without trucking companies manufacturers will make more money also. Thats right. when these driverless trucks finally make it to the market, it will give the manufacturer opportunity to cut out the trucking companies, just like they are doing to the carriers.

The Big Lie In Trucking Jan 06, 2024

Show notes

The Big Lie In Trucking. What is the big lie? Well, let's put it this way, the current big lie is, Autonomous trucks will always nee a driver. Thats according to the latest news. It has been said that "driverless trucks" will be running Americas roads by the end of 2024. That is why I am ticked-off. Everyone was selling the BS to all of us drivers (when the idea of autonomous trucks came out) that we would always be needed. Well not according to the articles circulating the net this week. I for one am sick of the BS we get shoved down our throats. The news of trucks with no drivers is devastating. I am one that hopes this fails. It will put millions of drivers out of work. The rich man has done it again. Well maybe not quite yet. Some legal moves have to come into place first. If you're reading this, write to your local congressmen and sign any petition you can get your hands on.

Has FMCSA Really Made Roads Safer? Dec 17, 2023

Show notes

Has FMCSA Really Made Roads Safer? Check out these stats. 1975 4305 deaths involving large trucks, 1976 4893, 1992 4422, 2002 4846, 2021 4714, so it does not appear to have changed much. With all the regulations, you would think the numbers would decline every year. The new regulation to hit the market are "speed limiters". It is unclear if and when this will start but it is heating up for debate. Many claim that it will make the roads unsafer. Putting over 3 million large trucks on the road, at a slower speed than cars, is a recipe for rear end collisions. We will see how this plays out. Has FMCSA Really Made Roads Safer?
