If You Believe The Rich Man Aug 27, 2023

Show notes

If You Believe The Rich Man. Did you know that autonomous trucks are a real thing? They are putting in self operating fuel stops for driverless semi trucks. Of course there is a driver in the truck. A driver that is helping take away future jobs of other truckers. It's no different than the kiosks at McDonald's. You walk in for a Big Mac and Fries and you put the order in yourself. By the way, McDonald's had their workers training customers for the first so many year on how to place order. In a sense they were training customers to do their very own job. Go figure. This is the way of the rich man. He will stop at nothing to make his profit. Even if it means getting rid of human workers. Someone recently wrote, " Some day our grand children will ask, what's a truck driver"? You might think I'm a conspiracy theorist but mark my words, it's coming.

The driver who is not named, was parked in Nashville in the early hours of the morning. He pulled out and said he felt a bump. After getting to investigate, he discovered a man diseased under his truck. Opinion: A pre-trip inspection should have revealed the man sleeping under the truck. Police theorized the man crawled under the truck and did not wake up when the rig was pulling forward. This driver might be in trouble, based on whether he did or did not do his walk-around.

Trucker Attacked by Vicious Dog Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

Trucker Attacked by Vicious Dog. This part week, before major medias broke the story. TalkCDL witnessed a story about a driver attacked by a police dog. Police tried to initially pullover a trucker without a mudflap. But it turned into a police chase, or so they say. Eventually the driver was pulled over by stop sticks. He then was given command by law enforcement thatched surrounded his big rig. He was compliant from what the video showed. The driver obeyed every command the police gave. Meanwhile the K-9 unit arrived on the scene. You could clearly hear the commanding officer say "do not release the dog while this mans hands are In the air". For some reason the K-9 officer picked the dog on the complying truck driver. This resulted in an injured trucker and a scene of pure panic. Tune into this weeks episode of TalkCDL Trucking Podcast and hear the end result of this crazy story.

This may seem like something obvious but there is a growing number of drivers getting hung up on high railroad tracks. If you are pulling an RGN trailer, please know how high you can clear. If your trailer has a belly box underneath it, this also can get hung up More advice? If the railroad crossing arms have come down and are behind you and in front of you. This means you are sitting on the tracks. Put it in gear and break through the crossing arms. Better on your resume are broken cross bars than getting hit by a freight train. A Horrible Story
