On this channel I am committed to getting truck drivers paid for all their time and being treated like the licensed professionals we are. Truckers have been made to sit without pay for long enough! I also do truck driver training videos, trucking news and information, the latest government regulations and changes that will effect us in our day to day life. The ELD is discussed regularly as well as ways for truckers to make more money. Trucking company reviews, good and bad, are posted. CDL info and cdljobs are here. Pay and all things trucking. Join the fun. I post 3-4 videos a week plus a live show.

Use a map | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
The Sunday Rant deals with a recent article about truck GPS. The write postulates that all companies should have truck GPS to reduce crashes, save money, make drivers better looking and generally solve everything. This could not be worse advice. Truck GPS has not stopped drivers from taking gravel roads and tearing up covered bridges. Hiring quality drivers solves more problems than technology ever will.

No paychecks issued | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 6 тыс.14 дней назад
Another company closes without notice. The Sunday Rant is disgusted by this. Drivers have not been paid and some said they were being asked to buy fuel with their own credit cards and wait for payback. There are so many cases of this. When you are not paid and the company has no fuel money they are broke. Be ready, this could happen to anyone. I wonder if the drivers will ever be paid their las...
May got locked out | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.21 день назад
On the Sunday Rant I recount a situation from last week. May Trucking was trying to pass a flatbed when that idiot driver woke up and sped up. Ridiculous. This locked May in the left lane when the flatbed driver was clearly not paying attention. It is an all to often sight on the roads today. Mark@TruckingAnswersNation.com
A Trillion Dollars | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers

Recently it was said that the cost to be able to run electric trucks is going to be one trillion dollars! The Sunday Rant finds that ridiculous. Who will pay for that? Us, that's who. Environmental people are ruining the country little by little. Let's just say no to electric semis. Mark@TruckingAnswersNation.com

Our pals from the ATA have popped out if the muck on the Sunday Rant. The under 21 truck driver apprentice program is a disaster and The American Trucking Association seems to know what the problem is. At least they think they do. The ATA says one reason may be that there is a requirement to have driver facing cameras and young people may not like that. HA! In the new continuing resolution the ...
Bing Bong | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers

The Sunday Rant is not fooled! Have you seen these dual plated trucks? Plates from the US and Mexico? There are other things about that. Look at the trailers. These trucks are trying to pass as local carriers. They put bald eagles on the trailers and wording to fool you. We should not allow these dual plated trucks to haul freight within the United States. Rates will not increase as long as the...
Stretching the Truth | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers

The Sunday Rant deals with a recent meeting of recruiters and what they were saying. Apparently companies are going to continue to look for drivers and offer jobs that don't exist according to them. They are doing this to keep ready for when business picks up. Don't sit around and wait for them. If they tell you to go home and they will call you or it takes more than a few hours to call you bac...
You parked where? | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
There are some places you should park and some you shouldn't. This Sunday Rant is not talking about the side of the road. Not a ramp or anyplace like that. Probably a good and safe spot but what will people think if they saw you there? In an accident, how would you explain having been there? Is there any good reason to be there? I don't think so and that's what I'm talking about today. Where yo...
Window sleeping | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.3 месяца назад
A story from the week on the Sunday Rant. Is it ever ok to sleep during work and has my experience ever happened to you. At a shipper I encounter someone sleeping while i am trying to work. Most people can't find success because it shows up disguised as work. The end result is I got my trailer while upsetting someone. That is a normal day for me. Mark@TruckingAnswersNation.Com
When do you park? | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.3 месяца назад
Recently there has been a spate of bad weather. On the Sunday Rant I discuss this and ask you when do you park in bad weather? Many companies talk about safety but how many of them back it up with action? Why are so many drivers still driving even though roads are terrible and driving is not recommended? Is a days pay that important? Will you be broke? Drivers need to get parked when roads get ...
CRST Loses Again | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.3 месяца назад
This is a happy Sunday Rant. CRST has lost another court case. Being in the sleeper beyond normal sleep time could be work time and may need to be compensated. Drivers do not value their time enough. This case is a first and goes along with what I have always said. All time at work or because of work should be paid. That sounds includes time in the sleeper. You are only sleeping 1000 miles away...
Are automatics the problem? | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 2 тыс.4 месяца назад
The Sunday Rant deals with a recent article where truck drivers claim the reason drivers today can't drive is because of mostly automatic trucks. Is that really the problem? Do automatic trucks make people unsafe truck drivers? I don't think so. The truck is not the reason a driver does things that are unsafe. We hear this all the time from older drivers. Trucking companies take no time trainin...
Sponsored Post? | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
Video cuts off abruptly. The Sunday Rant deals with sponsored posts that look like real news stories. I would expect to find this in some low level place but not Freightwaves. You have to click it before you are notified that the post is actually a Samsara fluff piece consisting of propaganda. The article tries to convince the reader of the greatness of using the Samsara system and how experien...
Pushing cars off the road | Sunday Rant | Trucking Answers
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
Recently I was traveling in Illinois and observed some oversized loads.This Sunday Rant is a recount of that. I saw one nearly push a car in the median while they all were stopping many trucks from passing. Not from their size but the way they were driving. There can't be an excuse to force cars on the shoulder. These three were also so close that it caused a long backup that was unnecessary. S...

This Sunday Rant is about what I saw this week. A Nussbaum truck labeled as RED was driving with the trailer tandems all the way back in Indiana and Illinois. Nussbaum says that Red is a symbol of driver excellence, service and dedication. This should means a driver who is more knowledgeable than the average driver due to the continuing education requirements of the Red. I wonder who teaches th...

I've already turned down a couple places that tried the sharing a room thing. You want me to share a hotel room with someone I've NEVER met before? I wouldn't share a room with people in my own family, much less a complete stranger and potential psychopath/druggie/drunk/thief. And if you expect me to spend 18 hours on a Greyhound, you just told me you're a joke of a company.
Exzactamundo!
I have been a Class A driver for more than 25 yrs and I have always been in compliance with all Federal rules and regulations. I recently started driving for a company who does not enforce pre-trips or post-trips. I filed a Grievance complaint on the Company Manager because he was a driver and knows better. The company manager terminated my employment for doing so. I live in Odessa TX. (2024)

Western express does that they split your regular pay into per diem if you run 200 miles at .50 your pay would be 50.00 at regular pay and 50.00 at per diem
When I started to train my trainer didn’t allow me to use a GPS, only used paper maps. Trained me to do mountains and declines without Jake-brake. His theory is when technology fails you need to use the tools available at the time of the failure. This is why there was an issue with the cream cheese shortage. It was a failure of the computers.
Rand McNally has all the restricted routes, low bridges, and even teaches you about the bridge law, which new drivers have no idea about
And it can not update its database. I know,I had a few.
@@TheSleepLes yeah. I always thought that was very limiting. My garmin even updates temporary highway work on interstates.
First 4 or 5 years of trucking, I used good old Rand McNally Atlas.... And the nice thing about that, it gave you all the restricted roads up in the front of the atlas in the index
When in doubt, call the shipper or a receiver, for routing to their facility.
Thats worked best for me just my personal experience
Like they know.
Was the internet Even around in the '70s? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It doesn't matter what you provide. A driver with a room temperature iq will still do dumb stuff 😂
To GPS, or not to GPS, that is the question. I would think of it as a tool, alongside the map. Just like cell phones, they're okay, but don't totally rely on them all the time.
Am Mark
I use a Rand McNally map & 2 gps
Roller Wiener Monday needs to return
Or even tube steak Tuesday 😂
The part about the 90 days, if you get home at 11:00 p.m., they consider that a day at home. Easy fix, Park the truck outside the gate until midnight. Problem solved.
You do good Thx I want to ask you Do you know the Bible like you do the trucking regulation's
It must end! ATA is very much a supportive of the PROBLEM Also free truck washing, tire and maintenance plus trailer sweeping, and working pre and posts unpaid Regional per mile is extra crap on crap . SLC to Phoenix has 3 major cities to crawl through plus 2 lane and mountains due to short mile route demand from carrier . Just ridiculous! Docks,, parking and congestion add 50% to the time of the poverty run. (I was a one trip wonder) Well said Mark , thanks
The son was probably like Colin Farrell's character in Horrible Bosses 😂..

Guys find a local job by the hour road jobs 65 mph and cameras e logs all these otr companies suck
Been driving for 16+ years and have ALWAYS done a 15 minute Pre-Trip and a Post-Trip Inspection on 15 minutes NEVER had problems with the DOT!!
What company was this?
My motto was if the pay check does not bounce, it's a good trucking job! 🚛
Hell no never fuel company truck with your own dime and no pay no move truck
Right hand drive, WTF.
Anyone know what happened to Transport America? Sorry, I've been out of the loop.

Hey there! We loved your insights in this video, so we decided to feature you in an explainer video on our channel on this topic: Why You Should NEVER Take a 1099 Job as a Trucker. We hope you enjoy it and let us know what you think. Thanks!
Thank you sir!!! F them
If anyone from that company is wondering, when a company declares bankruptcy the first to get paid are employees. It may take a year but they're first in line.
I read the owner of Tony's did this at another company before. Also, he is looking to buy a different company now.
When it's time to move on. It time to move on. A great thing about having a Class A CDL license, you are golden and time is very valuable
The trucking industry is so over saturated , we need a lot less drivers , carriers , brokers and freight forwarders
This is the result of carriers managed by know-nothing morons, which is an industry standard (epidemic) RN.
Stepped in what....Bullsh!+, to hell you say !
They won't pay you.
Vandownbytheriver..
I can't believe the gullibility of some of those driver's...let alone the size of the NUTS on the company's personnel for even asking such a thing towards a driver! If it was me, hell - the only question that I would ask is: "Are you serious?" And if that answer is yes, i will then proceed to end the call, laugh all the way back to the company, park their truck, take pictures of the truck, hop in my whip &bounce to crib to begin my NEW job search! ...in that order! Fuhk that company! 🫡😅✌🏽😇🫡
I can't believe people would use their. Own money old adage I always followed I NEVER pay to work
But he told me he loved me.

It's getting bad here in the U.S.!!! Trucking companies are closing down every other week seems like 🤔🧐🧐!!! Jobs are general on the brink or with low wage pay!!! The job industry here is gonna get smothered because of all of the illegals coming across the border and with that said, Low wage pay or not enough to survive in this over inflating economy...
I couldn't count how many companies have disappeared over the last 35 years. Some are good about it and get all the chickens to roost. And some just leave em to the wolves Good luck man
