All the ELD does is make drivers pull over when they're ready to drive, and make us DRIVE when we're ready to SLEEP. If a trucker 🚚 can drive when he/she wants to, I promise a trucker WILL get more work done. 🚚

    Small carriers, owner operators, and Co drivers are killing the industry. We are at fault. We buy expensive insurance that covers almost nothing in the policies. We book cheap loads because we are desperate to make income not profits. Shippers and brokers treat us like garbage, and we allow it. EPA, IRS, FMCSA, truck stops dealers, and diesel repair shops take advantage of the hardworking trucker. We don't need a Union or any kind of representation. Instead we need to show COJONES!

    I agree with insurance pricing. It affects everyone’s potential financially. But WHAT ABOUT PARKING? Make it unconstitutional to generate punishment for following federal HOS laws when parking. That would create a dire need for states to provide parking due to public safety. P.S. pass a law that drivers must be efficient at backing at truck stops before granting CDL. A billion hours a week while trainers teach this method at Pilots across America. Huge carbon footprint. 😊😊

  • @Its_Melv

    We need to put very strict regulations on insurance companies. Stop letting people come into the country and get a CDL right away. They need to be in the country and have a valid drivers license with no major violations for 5 years at a minimum to qualify for a CDL, need to investigate and shut down predatory Lease and Lease Purchase programs, and implement a minimum Rate per mile or minimum percentage with transparency for company drivers. We to many company drivers out here getting screwed by these big companies and even little ones. Also need to do away with the emissions BS and these electric trucks push. I believe we should worry way more about if a truck is road worthy and safe vs does it meet emission standards? And as an owner you should be able to decide what is best for your business as long as it is safe not be told what you have to buy making you have to spend more money. Everyday there are big companies who fund these bureaucrats who are getting them to pass these laws to try and push out the little guy. Emissions, ELD, Speed Limiters, and now electric trucks doing everything they can to make it harder to start a trucking business so they can take over. The day it’s only JB Hunt, Swift, Prime, Schneider stuff like that I’ll hang it up. As long as I can still have the dream of having a decent life and having fun driving cool trucks doing what I love I’ll keep doing it.

    • @Its_Melv
      @Its_Melv 37 минут назад

      Also need to ease up on the hours of service go back to paper logs even if it’s a situation where you have to drive for x amount of years with no violations or accidents and then you qualify for paper logs, they also need to crack down on these big companies putting someone through a month of CDL school then a month of training on the road with someone that has only been driving 6 months that is just dumb and unsafe. I’ve been around trucking my whole life since 97 and I’ve been driving myself for 3+ years and I still don’t feel qualified enough to train. I believe you should be atleast 5 years accident free and major violation free to qualify to be a trainer. Cause let’s be honest nobody knows shit after 6 months or a year and if you think you do you’re a freaking idiot. And generally CDL schools need to be tougher and they need to be trained in manuals even if they don’t end up driving one. Way too many unskilled drivers are getting put in seats cause it’s a heart beat moving the truck for some money and it shows I mean look every winter at all the pileups and in general just all the accidents caused by trucks. I see it everyday it gets worse and worse people in trucks pulling out in front of you or pulling right off the shoulder without speeding up first tailgating you and other cars. It’s our job out here to safely operate these trucks and people act like they in a fuckin hellcat and think it’s a freaking joke and they are the cancer to this industry they need to be trained better or get their CDL revoked. The hours of service and speed of the trucks is not the issue it’s the idiots behind the wheel that are unskilled and untrained.

    You know when they interview you guys man they pick some of the wrong people to interview. You don’t never get down to it man everybody griping over the wrong thing they ain’t about the hours of service. Yeah I need a little bit of tweaking, but that’s not the problem get to the money money get rid of the brokers. They don’t own any trucks and don’t work yet a year like you do it ain’t about the insurance, yeah that could use a little tweaking but get rid of the brokers. How about this all the Truck drivers become union and see what happens the largest team union on the face of the planet and freight medical benefits, health benefits, retirement pension Social Security how about that But now we don’t wanna go Union I think that would be so impactful truck drivers don’t stick together never have never will only time you stick together is when you see another truck driver who you thought did something wrong and he didn’t the cops come up to you yo, did you see what happened? You 20 miles down the road first of you yeah he was flying past me, but you 20 miles down, bro you didn’t see anything. That’s the only time Truck drivers stick together. They only stick together when it comes to lawn enforcement and being a snitch at the company a Brown knows man get tired of getting on here voicing your opinion you know what else needs to change. You should have more rest area in every state. There is all over the country. It should be a requirement that you have sufficient rest in every state, an abundance of them that no truckstop in America can charge you for reserve parking. I mean we go from four hours to shower to $18 for a shower showers for free they fallen up your towels on the counter with all comes in off a truck out of a warehouse. The windshield wiper fluid comes in off a truck out of a warehouse your dirty gloves come from outside on the counter it’s unsanitary and while cleaning your shower with the same gloves to clean the shower, they go get fresh new towels with the same gloves on to put your clean towels in it, but you don’t give a fuck you dry your ass off with it. You don’t ask for two more towels so you can use the inside of the towel and you watch these people. Do this my hand you a towel you say nothing my man cleaning the toilet bowl with another towel, touching somebody else’s genitalia on the towel with the same gloves that he has on they might’ve blue their nose inside that towel. You know they wash behind drying off are you gonna let him hand you a towel and you pay $16 and you don’t say anything $18 for a shower that should be the biggest problem. We have sanitary food prices if you don’t make me pay for some food at a truckstop I shouldn’t have to buy what you sell man bring some more franchise. I’ll bring white castle bringing in Jersey Mike’s Jimmy John’s bring in Chinese restaurants I mean, if you wanna do it like that you might as well go out yo man call me for interview man you wanna talk to me yo man, we could chop it up over the phone man or we could do whatever you know what I mean video Skype, whatever man I’ll get tired of listening to some of these cats out here man the guys you’ve been interviewing for years mate I don’t never tell it man I like the way you supposed to tell it you gotta cover the whole globe man cover a hole with Ty scenario not just make one thing be the indoor indoor cause it ain’t the one thing the major one thing that it is is the brokers the work wouldn’t be cheap if you had no brokers.

If you do not have any working trucks in the game and we need at least 10 more working trucks if you do not have 10 working trucks calendar year as a broker, you should not be bidding on work all that other stuff don’t matter this is the cord of the problem. If you get rid of the brokers, you’ll get your money. You can’t get your money. If you got the middleman, you be on the work directly with the manufacture that way it keep the whole board running at a fair rate nobody’s bidding on a work for dirt cheap Nobody stealing they gonna try to find a way, but the brokers already got you in the back pocket get rid of all brokers that do not own 10 or more trucks that working every year throughout the whole entire year you’re a broker and you don’t own no trucks you shouldn’t be in a game.

    Wow, wrong answer. No more new authorities put a freeze on new authorities. The democrats deregulated trucking so more people could get in to provide competition to keep rates down for billionaires who want to keep shipping costs down. Now there are so many trucks that tax payers are paying for new parking. Insurance is high because of the flood of new trucks, when there were less trucks the insurance companies competed for your business by offering better rates. It must go back to the old way. In the past the only way to get an authority was to buy one from a company that was closed or closing. Alex I hope you read this.
