Trucking for Millennials

In this episode we have a conversation about one of trucking's most critical issues - truck parking!

There is a severe shortage of parking for truck drivers and we speak with Scott Grenerth of TSPS.io and RigRest.com to find out what's being done to improve it.

We had the opportunity to speak with Scott after he led a panel discussion with TxDOT and truck drivers at the Great American Trucking Show.

We also collected input from our driver Sam Willoughby, who provided some valuable first hand insight into the problem.

Through new technologies and regulatory study from TxDOT, positive changes are being made.

Thanks for listening!

In our 3rd episode we break the show into two segments: Millennial Stuff & Trucking Stuff.

In "Millennial Stuff" we discuss a recent poll that surveyed millennials and boomers about the values each generation states are most important to them.

You can find the poll results in the following articles: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/deep-boiling-anger-nbc-wsj-poll-finds-pessimistic-america-despite-n1045916

At the 13:05 minute mark, we pivot to Trucking Stuff and chat about the recent HOS regulation changes.

We end the episode with an in-office chat we had this week inspired by the recent trucking company closures and a tweet from an ATA economist about what's happening in the spot market. This starts at 21:44.
