    Hypocrisy In Trucking

    Hypocrisy In Trucking. Have you noticed, in the trucking industry, there is allot of hypocrites? From shippers to receivers to trucking companies, there is plenty of hypocrisy. They say one thing and do another. They fire a truck driver for stealing and then steal themselves. They punish you when you run over on your hours and then ask you to run over on your hours. New Jersey Town Punishes all truckers. Recently a town in New Jersey enacted a law, they punishes truckers, if they park on certain street, the same street they have been allowed to park on for many years. A road had been cited for construction and truck drivers had been given notice. Notice to move their truck and trailers for the road construction A few drivers, for some reason, dod not move their big rigs. Perhaps they dod not receive notice because they were away on the road. Perhaps they were home, resting from traveling and bringing goods for towns, just like the one they live in. Perhaps they just forgot. Well the town got a hair up the rear-end and put in place a law, that fines all truckers now on this street. It sounds like pride to me. Hypocrisy In Trucking Why punish all truckers for a few that made a mistake? This has to stop. Most truckers are barley making it today and can not afford to have to pay for full time parking. Hopefully, this will not be for ever.

    Drivers, Do You Measure Up?

    Drivers, Do You Measure Up? We are in a freight recession. Carriers have become more and more picky with their hiring standards. Truck Drivers are being turned down for jobs for the smallest reasons. Many are having a hard time finding a carrier that will hire them on. Drivers, Do You Measure Up? Watching your CDL (Commercial Drivers Lisence) and protecting it is essential. Practice good habits when it comes to departing from your current company. Leave a notice. Return their truck to the original terminal. Make sure the truck is as clean as it was when you received it. Do to the carrier what you would have wanted done to you.

    Hazmat Endorsement Is It Worth It

    Hazmat Endorsement Is It Worth It. How many hazardous loads does the average driver pull in a year? Is he compensated enough to justify having the endorsement? Most carriers pay very minimal for the endorsement, while they receive much greater reward for the risk the driver takes to haul it. Most carriers would disagree with me but then again they stand to gain and not the driver. Hazmat Endorsement Is It Worth It In this weeks podcast we will break it down. What is the cost? What is the risk? Who wins? What are the possible penalties? Who has the greater risk, the carrier or the driver? Join us on TalkCDL trucking Podcast and hear the results.
