Truckers and the bad economy







If you're are looking for a better job, odds are you won't find one in 2024. Unfortunately you and a million other truckers are hurting an in search of better times. Well relax, trucking will get better but just not right now. If you're paying the bills with the current job, I would not look any further. Wait till the industry turns around and then make your move. Trust me, right now, there is nothing out there. Stay strong and wait. How To Choose A Trucking Job

Choose My Drugs or My CDL. 170, 000 plus drivers will lose their CDL this November because of drugs. That's right, over 170,000 suspended CDL's on the horizon. Since the clearing house has been introduced, many truck drivers have been put on notice, choose your drugs or your CDL.







Is addiction that strong? The answer is yes. Simply put, grown men have families to support and bills to pay but yet they take chances and consume illegal drugs knowing they can hurt their entire family with one failed drug screen.







The issue lies with the RTD or the return to duty process. Drivers are required to complete a SAP or a Substance Abuse Program. They are then required to have 6 random DOT drugs screens completed. Thenproblem lies with carriers that fail or refuse to complete this process. Therefore the rules are changing. Trucking companies will no longer be able to hire drivers that have not completed to RTD, because their Lisence will now be automatically suspended until the process is complete.

Electric Semi-Trucks Make No Sense. Electric rigs have to be charged more times on a trip. It will mess up a drivers sleep. It just makes no sense.







Having to go 400 miles and then recharge for a certain amount of time will make the trip longer and more expensive. I guess congress and all those that are pushing these electric beasts, truly believe the garbage they are pushing on the American people. We are not buying it, pardon the pun but we are just not buying into the idea that electric vehicles are going to make a better economy.
