Why Experience Is Worth More. Would you like to know why trucking companies pay more for an experienced driver? There is a slew of reasons but the main one comes down to accidents.

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. Tune in and hear the rest of this story on TalkCDL Trucking Podcast
