 Trucker Sleeper Birth Pay | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 34:45

All about Trucking Detention Pay whats that? We talked about detention pay also. Most drivers would ask whats that? Meaning they are normally told that the company pays detention when being recruited by a trucking company but when it comes down to it they rarely see a dime. While the truck sits and is delayed no one wins but the driver takes the bigger hit. He is the worker that is paid the very least in the entire equation and when he sit for so many hours a week it cuts into his drive time which takes money and food out of his families mouth. * https://www.dol.gov* https://www.fjc.gov/history/courts/u.s.-district-court-eastern-district-arkansas-judges* http://talkcdl.com/a-few-trucking-companies-to-avoid/* http://talkcdl.com/what-a-truckers-wife-thinks/* http://talkcdl.com/truckers-stop-killing-your-grandmother/* http://talkcdl.com/s2e14-crazy-facts-about-a-truckers-body-after-driving-a-truck/* http://talkcdl.com/trucker-crash-stats-hos/* http://talkcdl.com/prime-inc-suing-amazon-prime/* http://talkcdl.com/s2e22-trucking-company-makes-a-mistake-watch-what-you-say-on-facebook/ TalkCDL is looking for song writers TalKCDL is the Number One Trucking Podcast on planet Earth.

When a driver quits a small carrier they normally take it personally and in many cases will avoid giving out the reference to the next trucking company that is trying to hire you. This is not the case will all small carriers but it is in many cases. Small carriers with under 30 trucks find it hard to be compliant with DOT and again in many cases do not ask professionally. Check out the reputation of any small carrier you are going to work for. Ask them if you can talk to a "former" driver or two of theirs. If they will let you then ask that particular driver if there were any issues after you Lef th company. This will tell you allot.

 Sleep Apnea Does It Even Matter | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 33:39

About 20 years ago truckers started hearing from company doctors that they had sleep apnea. They were asked by the doc if they snored. If the driver answered 'yes", then the doctor told them they had the sleep disease. Thay also started measuring truckers necks and if it was larger than 17 inches, they got the bad news also. Meanwhile the prior 100 years in trucking had thousands of drivers with big necks that snored. Sleep apnea is like one of those other subjects floating around out there, you know like "Global Warming". Thats right, we hear about global warming all the time but we have experienced some of the coldest temperatures on earth in the last decade. They told you all about it for many years but there really was no proof. The same thing with sleep apnea has been hanging around for many yers now. Well I want to see the proof. I want to see where men that snore are wrecking more. I also want to see the large neck drivers statistics. I would like to see the end results of this disease they have coined to be " sleep apnea".

 Prime inc. Suing Amazon Prime | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 35:44

Prime inc. Suing Amazon Prime for name use. Prime inc. claims it has the rights to the word "Prime" in trucking. Stating Amazon has made irreparable damage they are now going to court. When 2 wealthy companies get together over money it gets real interesting and makes a great podcast. So we thank these two mega companies for the great upcoming bout. Haha, and now in this corner weighing in at 500 Gabillion dollars its Amazon the "Store killer" Prime haha.

Autonomous semi trucks will now be traveling through Louisiana. TalkCDL host Troy Austin suggested that and state allowing such vehicles to travel in Americas highways should be clearly marked. The American people have the right to know what is traveling beside them which gives us a chance to move out of the way. Americans are entering into the testing faze of this new venture. We are becoming lab rats for the autonomous industry. A clear marking like say Big Giant Xs printed on the side of the Tractor and Trailer indicating a driverless truck is amongst us. This is something we should demand. After all when a student driver is on the road, we are made aware by the markings on the vehicle. The industry can make the public feel safer by just simply identifying these giant hazards on the road. TalkCDL interviews Be sure and message us for your trucking interview today.

 Truckers stop killing your grandmother | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 33:22

When you call a trucking company up and just say "Im not going to be able to come to work", you will get more respect than the driver that just doesn't show up. Why its so hard to just do the right thing is amazing but 99% of all truckers that change their mind have a tendency to lie to the carrier rather than being forth coming. If you tell them the truth they will mark you down as a good potential hire in the future and will always leave the door open for you. But if you lie, many of them are now marking you down as "never hire". Why burn bridges? Just speak up and let the chips fall will they may.

 Perverts Trafficking Trucking | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 29:36

All about Trucking What to look for Lets start by making sure we are aware of our surroundings. Get in the habit of looking at peoples behaviors. Maybe something as little as an argument or a look on someones face can be asking for help. Watch for someone with their hand on someones arm trying to escort them into a car or even a semi truck. Some people will freeze and might be afraid to yell out. Watch for something that does not fit in. Maybe a house wife being pushed into a car by someone young. Watch for someone motioning for help while sitting in their vehicle or while passing you. Always keep your eye on someone pulled off the side of the road maybe for a bathroom break. Many time often a kidnapper will choose to have their victims pee on the side of the road or in the woods ultimately avoid crowded rest areas or any public bathroom where a victim could potentially get away. Watch for marks on wrist from zip ties or duck tape. As you are walking in truck stops or parking lots listen for sounds in trunks or the cab of a semi truck. Many times a victim is left alone while the perpetrator goes in to the stores for supplies. Also while at home monitors your Childs computers and phones. Recently talkCDL's hosts were victims of an attempted infiltration of a possible pervert. Their 11 year old child was the targeted on instagram while she was on a private page for children only. Ladies watch yourself when leaving a store at night. Always try and park in a well lit area. Watch as you approach your vehicle that there is no one hanging around or that no one is visibly in the next vehicle that can reach out and grab you. Open the passenger door and enter you vehicle from that code instead if that is the safest entry. Keep your safety! * https://sharedhope.org/trucking/* http://bit.ly/Pervertswatch* https://truckersagainsttrafficking.org* http://talkcdl.com/trucker-shoots-gun-at-car-talkcdl/* http://talkcdl.com/avoiding-aggressive-drivers-talkcdl/* http://talkcdl.com/road-rage-truckers-1-dead-lives-ruined/* http://talkcdl.com/75-chrome-shop-the-long-haul-bandits/* http://talkcdl.com/detention-pay-52-humans-in-a-trailer/ TalkCDL Interviews TalKCDL is the Number One Trucking Podcast on planet Earth.

 What to do when ELD’s Fail | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 40:45

All about Trucking Troy's Suggestion What to do when ELD's Fail. On this weeks show Troy suggested before you attempt to drive make sure you notify your company. Ask them to send you a message giving permission to continue driving. If your carrier is not willing to put that in writing you might think twice about moving that rig. Cover you behind drivers in every way you can. Magna Stop the New truckers Buddy Magnastop Have you heard of Magnastop? This new product was invented by a trucker for truckers. If you have ever had the need to slide your tandems just one hole you could have used this tool. A simple hand held peg like tool allows you to slide into the hole you wish to be in. Held in place by a powerful magnet this little tool acts like a spotter every time. Just place magna stop in the desired position after pulling the tandem pin. Climb back in the truck and either back up or pull forward till it stops, its that simple. Mention TalkCDL and receive a discount on your purchase of Magnastop. get one today!

 Trucking History and Yesterdays Truckers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 45:34

All about Trucking Truck Speed Trucking History. Yesterdays Truckers. Truckers not only had a rough ride but they also had very slow trucks. Trucks topped out at a whopping 15mph. Yes I did say that! For every 10 hours you drove you covered 150 miles and thats if you were able to keep your foot in it. I don't think cruise control had been invented yet so they also had to keep their foot in it the entire time. If you do the math, back then a trip from California to Philadelphia PA is roughly 2700 miles. At 15mph that would be 180 hours and of course if your truck does 15mph you might actually average maybe 10 mph with stopping and going so the trip would take approximately 6 weeks for the one way trip. It would be about a 3 month round trip. How is that for dedication to the job? Tune in to this weeks episode and let us know what you think about the history of yesterdays trucker.

 Detention Pay & 52 Humans in a Trailer | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 30:01

All about Trucking FMCSA http://www.regulations.gov/ Follow the link above and log in to go your opinion on detention time and pay in the industry. They need your help and want to hear what is really going on with this issue. Detention pay issues are gaining ground and you can help by voicing your concerns on the link provided above. 18 to 20 year old OTR drivers Should a person under 21 years of age be able to drive over the road? This is another hot topic that is moving forward in trucking. For many years a person could get a CDL if they were at least 18 to 20 years old. But they could not cross they state lines. Does this man sense> Think about this, a driver that is 18 years old could be licensed in the state of Texas. He could pick up a load in El Paso and take it all the way to the Louisiana/Texas state line but could not lawfully take the load to say Shreveport a few miles across the line to deliver it. Thats right he could drive about 900 miles one way but could not drive another 20. Another example to compare is a driver in New Jersey could pick up in Edison and drive 70 miles to the PA State line but can not drive into Easton PA? Think about how crazy that sounds, the Texas driver can drive 900 miles one way but the New Jersey driver is limited to 70 miles one way, thats just plain nuts. This law is in need of an adjustment at the minimum. Tune in and list to the episode called Detention Pay & 52 Humans In A Trailer. TalKCDL is the Number One Trucking Podcast on planet Earth.

 75 Chrome Shop & The Long Haul Bandits | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 36:36

75 Chrome Shop & The Long Haul Bandits75 Chrome Shop & The Long Haul Bandits. We sat down with the Long Haul Bandit at the 75 Chrome Shop in Wildwood FL. We talked about everything from bee haulers to bringing back respect in the trucking industry. The bandits are on a mission to better the trucking industry by helping educate those that have not learned about respect. One driver at a time they induct them into the LHB or the Long Haul Bandits Trucker Club. Entrance is not just a signature and you're in. The gate keepers are Sancho and Grump, the Prez and VP. They take the Bandits very serious and they are on guard. If you want to be in the club there are a few things you will have to do and have. The have of course if the "desire". You must really want to be a part of this growing group of truck drivers that want to do things the right way and make the brotherhood of trucking a thing of respect. The second thing you will need to have is a great attitude. You will want to be positive because thats what the industry is in desperate need of. Your Tasks 75 Chrome Shop & The Long Haul Bandits. Your assignment? Just picture "mission impossible" music playing as you're reading this! Your assignment? Help people. Thats right you must record yourself twice a month helping another trucker either back in a door or maybe helping him or her disconnect a trailer but it must be recorded. The second thing you will need to be recorded doing is (Music just got louder Haha) pick up garbage for 15 minutes at a truck stop twice a month. Dent Dent Dent da dent dent dent dent (Music is in dents lol! But seriously this is what you must do to earn your stripes into the club. If your attitude says this sounds dumb then this group is not for you. Think about a new future and is this what you want to be a part of and then move forward. Thank you to the 75 Chrome Shop for having us a there guests. TalKCDL is the Number One Trucking Podcast on planet Earth. This isn't just our claim but yours also.TalkCDL would also like to thank the bandits for inviting us into the group. We look forward to helping this group grow with us. We would also like to invite anyone from the group to come on the show anytime and tell us your story. Events with the Long Haul Bandits Each year the long haul bandits have 2 events. Big Cookouts and a chance for members to come together and actually meet in person. Gear up and get your appetites because when the bandits get together its lots of eating and fellowshipping. Meetings and of course corresponding online is an event its self on a daily basis. One of the first things you will notice is how much everyone is involved on the social media pages. You will notice a very supportive group for one another and that right there is a huge difference from other trucking groups. President Soncho and his VP Sir Grumpster lead the way with daily messages of encouragements. Take the time to really look into this group and Im sure you will find a place where people really do care about you and everyone a part of it. A special thanks to the 75 Chrome Shop. * https://www.75chromeshop.com* http://talkcdl.com/trucker-gun-laws/* http://talkcdl.com/s2e27-truckers-face-off-with-protesters/* http://talkcdl.com/trucker-fights-the-law-and-wins/* https://www.facebook.com/longhaulbandit/*

 Autonomous Rigs & 30 Minute Breaks | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 24:40

All about Trucking Trucker killed while walking at a truck stop A truck driver was recently killed at a truck stop while walking. The driver of a semi truck from Canada is in trouble after dash cam video was brought forth as evidence. Walking inside truck stop parking lots are very dangerous. More so than most realize. Not paying attention can get you hurt or killed. In this day and age many people are seen walking and texting. I am hearing this is not the case as the reports say there was a good distance between the driver and the walker which mean he should have seen him. Many times often we find ourselves adjusting as we are pulling out to start our drive. We find ourselves reaching for perhaps a drink or something we left down on the floor. My advice would be always take a breath and you time situating yourself once you have sat in the drivers seat. Make sure you have put everything in its proper place. Make sure of anything you are going to be needing or using as you are driving. In the first couple minutes of our drive it is very easy to get distracted as your mind is at ease with such a knew speed compared to the highways. Truck stops have little surprises around every corner. Drivers sometimes just appear from no where as they emerge from between to parked rigs. Also little children can just dart out in front of us and paying attention is pertinent. Autonomous Rigs & 30 minute breaks. TalKCDL is the Number One Trucking Podcast on planet Earth.
