- The Sunday Rant and the ATA. The government is looking into autonomous trucks and will have some kind of meeting about them during driver appreciation week. Awesome. No one on the invited list is a driver as far as I can see. The American Trucking Association can't wait to give us the boot so their member companies can make more money. While still many years away of widespread deployment, the ATA and it's allies are looking forward to that day. Are you ready? My prediction is 5-10% of trucks go autonomous in the next decade. Most of those are spotters and OTR running south of I-40.

Remember the Trucking Answers Podcast!
I'm going to stock up on silly string and spray autonomous vehicles to share the joy.
I think that I need to start a security company just for these trucks. Simple because they will be hit by thieves.
Like the catalytic converter thieves? Good point, and very possible!
Are the automatic truck robots going to have the CDL programed into their little robot brains 🧠
Thks for reminding me of why I just quit trucking,,,❤😂
Can we automate the middle finger to the ATA?
We can not let them compromise the standards that we are held to.
The standard is coming out of the ghetto, low rent trailer parks and foreigners who don't know how to use the toilets.
Hey Mark; What do you think Companies would do if drivers started bringing Attorneys with them to Orientation 😂? Especially on LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS? I think that would really shake up the industry, it would be the coolest thing, just imagine all that crap they give us to sign that we really never had to. 😮. Anytime you are required to sign BINDING LEGAL DOCUMENTS , you have the right to have an Attorney present.
Whose stupid enough to get into a lease purchase?
Are they going to be able to navigate through toll booths? It's hard enough for some humans.😂
Can’t wait for my universal “basic” income check
WHAT IF THEY GET HACKED. HAVEN'T THEY SEEN MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE
Yes, good point, very possible indeed!
THAT'S FOR FREE!!
The true cost of Wieners should be expressed on Monday... Roll with it.
🎉
I’ll be glad when AI trucks take over and I can go huntin & fishin everyday
Lolol, o thing says, “appreciation” quite like a xeroxed sheet of paper.
They appreciate us like a gold digging girlfriend 😂
As far as fueling automonus trucks, each one will be fueled like the USS Enterprise. I think the green lot lizards walking the empty parking lot will be disappointed that Captain Kirk type drivers won't have rock, smokes or cash.
😂🤣
Looks like they will have to have people hired to fuel trucks again.
No, trucks will all be electric and charge the same way a roomba vacuum does.
THEY are going to be Eating 🦞 lobster
Wouldn't want a cash bonus after all.
Good luck with that.
Narula till every vehicle on the road, every sign, every squirrel, rat, bird, deer, and anything else that could remotely and possibly get onto the road karma Is equipped with a transceiver going to a computer that can control everything. In other words ain’t gonna happen in our lifetimes. All vehicles not equipped with such a device would have to be prohibited from use and public roadways
i anticipate alot of autonomous trucks fifth wheel pins r gonna get pulled. or atleast a cone on the hood. :)
When that time comes for driverless trucks, I will shut my company down. I will not have anything to do with State sponsored murder.
Just as technology came for the blacksmith and cashier it come for gig to that is how the world works adapt or die ...but bitching will do nothing
😂
😂😂😂
That is awful
Well Mark , I heard your concern I had my CDL since 2005 I’ve been driving I had my own company did my own dispatching let me ask you how many times did you had to go get your truck with driver abandoned truck how many times did they call you and say I’m leaving the truck you better go get it before it run out of fuel. How many times did they call you and say listen I damaged your truck and made so much damage and I quit. Oh, you know what I say, when ever autonomous trucks will be here it’s not soon enough you can make your argument but until you’re going to be on the side of truck owner, at least all your comments are just wining just like the rest of them and if you don’t believe me, talk to anyone whoever had Trucking Company
You must be a shitty employer
For the first time I see your videos, they are very educational, the first one I saw was 5 years ago, you spoke badly about SOAR's lease, taste when I was going to call them... do you have any recommendations with whom at this time 2023 or are they the same? All of them?
