TalkCDL Trucking Podcast

Most of us have been in the recruiting part of the trucking industry at one point in our careers. One thing that we hear all the time is "oh yea I have drove over the road" Oh, yea? What was your running area? "Well, from Laredo to Houston, to Dallas".... That is NOT over the road, that is local i the eyes of any outfit. We also have heard the opposite pleny of times. Ok Driver How much Over The Road Experiance do you have? "Oh, non, really only regional..." Oh ok, how many states? "Well about 8 or 10..." Ok driver that is over the road, its just in a regional position. Over the road DOES NOT MEAN ALL 48 STATES! So to help all the new drivers comming into the industry, we will be tearing these terms apart and getting to the bottom of this!   #Truckers #internetradio #trucking #overtheroadtrucking #localtruckers #regionaldrivers #besttruckingjobs Check us out at: www.talkcdl.com www.facebook.com/talkcdl www.twitter.com/talkcdl

As always, Friday is the day we just like to hang out with all the driver who are not making it home on the weekends, we re-cap our weekly topics, get some final opinions on tools for truckers on the road, and how drivers can save money. We talked about a lot this week, primarily about truckers being watched by dash cams, trucker tools on the road, and how drivers can save money with some of these tools. We want to thank all the drivers out there tuning in, and those are have not found us yet, because we know you will tune in once you do! Be sure to check out our sponsors, because without them we wouldn't be able to be here. Also, we received  a lot of requests to add a trucking jobs page on our website so you can check that out at www.talkcdl.com/jobs as well as a resources page at www.talkcdl.com/resources 

Truckers are on the road for sometimes months at a time. They go out and some come home and for some reason they are BROKE! But why? It is because a lot of drivers make financial mistakes like eating out all the time instead of making their own food, or going to casinos all the time, and the list goes on and on. So we want to let drivers know some things to get to save yourselves some money out on the road! So Call us LIVE 516-387-1911

On a previous episode we ended up talking about on-board cameras, and it opened up a very heated conversation between our hosts and some other callers, so we decided we better continue talking about how our american truckers are being watched with on board cameras by their companies. Should companies be doing this? What are the pros (if any) and what are the cons (most would agree outweigh-pros) but if you put yourself in the shoes of a company who is constantly getting sued because of mistake their drivers are making, what would you do? Would you try to implement a policy even against you personal judgments? Lets discuss this truckers! Call us Live 516-387-1911.
