Drowsy Driving is Deadly Feb 19, 2023

Show notes

Drowsy Driving is Deadly. A truck driver recently was convicted of vehicular manslaughter. He was not driving while impaired from alcohol or drugs. He was not driving erratic or reckless. His guilt? He was driving while tired. To put it simple, he should have been in bed instead of driving a tractor trailer that night. Driving drowsy is a term used in the courts when the driver of any vehicle fails to take themselves off the road due to being tired beyond safe driving. This pertains to not only CL drivers but also the motoring public. You are the captain of your ship and you must maintain it safely. He faces up to 7 years in prison when sentenced this coming week. Tune in to this weeks podcast on TalkCDL Trucking Podcast and hear the breakdown of this case. A trucker and a dog were in a fatal accident recently A trucker was killed in Arizona when he crashed his big rig. He was hauling a form of acid, which also ruptured and started leaking at the scene. The truckers dog was missing after all the smoke had cleared. A few days later a man noticed a dog approaching him at an RV park. The dog was friendly he said. He took the dog in, fed him and groomed him. The man decided to try and find the dogs family. He put up fliers and wouldn't you know, someone recognized the dog. Turns out the dogs name was "Riley". Apparently the truckers wife had been looking for Riley and long behold, the fliers worked. Tune in and hear the end result of this story on TalkCDL Trucking Podcast.

Can the FMCSA be this Dumb Feb 05, 2023

Show notes

Can the FMCSA be this Dumb. The FMCSA is asking questions about the autonomous industry. They want the publics opinion on certain questions. Questions like, should a remote driver be subject to drug screen testing? LOL, my answer is, DUH! I mean what kind of question are they asking? I mean, why would you not drug screen anyone that is in charge of the motion of a big rig? Facebook Postings are sometimes Not so Serious Recently we posted a photoshopped picture of a truck stop bathroom with a shower. The sign read "to save on toilet paper please use both sides". We had allot of fun with the post. Some drivers took it too serious and started fighting on the page. Note to serious drivers, It was a joke, haha!

Grandma’s Toe is Broke I can’t come to Work Jan 29, 2023

Show notes

Grandma's Toe is Broke I can't come to Work. Trucking say this is one of the biggest excuse, to not come to work. They hear it all the time. A driver is scheduled for orientation and then the excuses start coming in. The most common excuse is granny. That's right, poor old granny is sick" or my grandma died" but you can sure bet, granny will always be the most common excuse to get out of work. Instead of making up an excuse, why don't you jus tell the company, you found a better fit for you? They would have more respect for you if you would come clean and be honest. At least you wouldn't have to remember another lie. Tune in and hear this hilarious episode on TalkCDL Trucking Podcast. Trailer with snow and ice pose a danger to the public We all seen it before. You go to the drop yard to pick up a trailer and it has a foot of snow on the top. What do you do? In most cases, there is nothing you can do. At some point you will have to transport that trailer onto the highway. Thats when the diner starts. Snow flying everywhere and even chunks of ice. Recently a trucker was injured when an ice missile from another tractor-trailer flew off and crashed through his windshield. The driver was transported to the hospital. Police have not said if they located the other driver or if he will be charged with anything. You are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't clean off the snow. It is almost impossible for a trucker to reach the top of his trailer to clean it. one in and hear the results of this podcast.

The Economy in Trucking Jan 15, 2023

Show notes

The Economy in Trucking. A year ago, small trucking companies were begging to buy trucks. The demand was so high, the dealerships were marking up semi's $30,000 to $40,000. It was disgusting but if you wanted a truck, you were going to pay. Troy was constantly saying, wait till the economy flips and you will see allot of repo's. Well here we are and dealerships, Penske and Ryder's yards are filled with big rigs, for sale and for rent. What happened you ask? Truckers came back to work and brokers were no longer desperate to get their freight hauled. Mix that with major shortages because of weak assembly lines, high fuel and a big down turn in the economy and you have repo's, bankruptcies and a panic in the air. Tune in to this weeks podcast and hear Troy and Ruthann's take on this serious matter. When will the economy turn around? What can a driver do to be in survival mode? All answers will be found on this weeks episode. DOT Announces New Increase in Fines for Drivers & Carriers Ruthann has it. If you have been waiting with joy, to hear the new increases in fines, wait no longer, Ruthann gots the skinny for you.

Stop Picking Up Them Hitchhikers Schneider Jan 08, 2023

Show notes

Stop Picking Up Them Hitchhikers Schneider. Does your company allow hitchhikers in the truck? I wonder if Schneider National does? In this hilarious episode, we find Schneider National, one of the biggest carriers, giving a stranger a ride. Was this allowed? Does Schneider have a policy about hitchhikers? Tune into TalkCDL Trucking Podcast this week and hear the funny ending to this segment. Is it important to get your drivers home for the holidays? How important is it to get your drivers home? Will a driver quit their job if they do not get home for days they consider important. It's a crazy balance a trucking must play to keep both, their drivers and their customers satisfied. Unfortunately for the carriers, the drivers are not easy to negotiate with when it comes to this topic. Most drivers have their own set of rules, "get me home or lose me". Tune into this weeks episode and hear TalkCDL's spin on this matter.
