  • Think Fuel Is Expensive Now? The People's Convoy Has Begun!
    Lots to talk about in this FBTV Video Podcast. From The People's Convoy to expensive fuel and how the price just keeps going up. An Iowa bill (that should be federal) that taget lawsuit abuse in traffic accidents with motor carriers. Biden and the EPA are ticked off at the USPS because they made their own decision that wasn't in line with what they (EPA & Biden) wanted them to do. Also, for fun, a look back at the 70's and how a TV commercial inspired a trucking song and movie.
    All this and a lot more in this FBTV Video Podcast.

  • The People's Convoy - D.C. Here We Come!
    And the hits just keep on coming. Since our last FBTV Podcast ... well Trudeau (nuff said), Canada's Parliament seems to be drinking the same kool-aid as "T", bank accounts (personal & commercial) frozen, trucks seized...and that's just Canada. Now add Putin, Russia & Ukraine...which a spine could have prevented. But to round it all off, the People's Convoy in the United States. Wow... turn our heads for a second...and it's a "2" day... 2-22-22.
    We'll be talking about all of this in this FBTV Podcast including providing The People's Convoy route, hearing Mike Landis explaining The People's Convoy. What Washington D.C. is doing to prepare, and so much more. Topics today in include discussing feight brokers and freight dispatcher, which is the best route. Also low paying shippers, how to work with them.
    All this and a lot more in this FBTV Video Podcast.

  • What is Wrong With Trudeau?
    Well, we're sure you've heard about it already but Trudeau has stepped in it again. While on the subject of our neighbors to the north, Ottawa police have been handing out leaflets to truckers in Ottawa saying get out or get arrested.
    Now this will blow you mind. Looks like C.H. Robinson has formed a "strategic" partnership with an autonomous trucking manufacuture. They (C.H. Robinson) will be loading the autonomous trucks for tests in Texas. One would think that C.H. Would be concerned about alienating their carriers that used LIVE drivers.
    Todays topic, more on sales and selling as a freight broker. Selling is pretty easy if you understand how it works. Today we'll be talking more about the science of sales and selling when it comes to obtaining potential customers. We'll also be talking about some other YouTube videos that are presenting some bogus information when it comes to recommending that brokers use factoring companies.
    All this and a lot more in this FBTV Video Podcast.

  • Trudeau Invokes Emergency Powers Across Canada. Really? This Really A Good Idea?
    We knew something like this was going to happen as Mr. T didn't want to talk/negotiate (hear and/or listen) directly to the truckers, but are threats really a good idea? Canadian truckers could lose their truck(s), insurance, personal and corporate bank accounts froze, banks can freeze accounts "just cause." C'mon Man! So they want the trucks our of Ottawa. OK, I'm sure they'll move out. But what happens when this backfires and the same trucks strike at home? Now who feeds you? I just don't think they're thinking this through as they should. Wait and see.
    Also in this FBTV Podcast fuel and gas prices are up, another recall (this time Peterbilt), Super Bowl commercials, and even New Zealand's strategy for dealing with their own "Convoy for Freedom." In addition to all of this, the topic for this FBTV Podcast is fuel surcharge.

  • Not To Worry! Department Of Homeland Security Is On The Job...
    If it wasn't real life, it would be a full featured comedy that would be in the theatres. The Freedom Convoy 2022 in Ottowa. Trucks, dancing, bbq grills, bouncy houses for the kids... But they're being called terrorists. Now, the U.S. Convoy to D.C. 2022 has the attention of the Department of Homeland Security. What could possibly go wrong?
    Lot's to talk about in this FBTV Video Podcast. Today's topics are focused for trucks. Drivers and/or owener operators. We'll be talking about lease purchase and why carriers, no matter the size, should have their own freight broker authority or at least be a freight broker agent.
    Today is the anniversary of the 11-day truckers strike in 1983. There was also another truckers strike in 1979 when fuel prices were under $1.00 a gallon. This and more in today's FBTV Video Podcast.
