  • Why UPS trucks don’t have air conditioning | #199
    Aug 29 2024

    A recent protest by UPS drivers in Texas prompted me to come on and explain why there is no air conditioning in the delivery trucks. It has always amazes me that the Teamster’s union allows this and then puts up what amounts to an informational picket about it. Here is a hint: The reason they don’t have air is the same reason some truck drivers work for free.

  • We all get gold stars | #198
    Aug 12 2024

    Netradyne has some new technology to add to their intrusive driver facing cameras that will awards you stars for things like stopping at a stop sign and maintaining your lane. How disrespectful is that? Very. It is touted as a way to reward good behavior but it is merely another misguided attempt by uniformed non-drivers to change behaviors. Don’t fall for what the ignorant know nothing’s are doing. Don’t download anything like this to any device you own. Simply refuse.

  • Tim Walz and an old DUI | #197
    Aug 8 2024

    Should an old DUI stop your life forever? As much as I hate them, no. Tim Walz was arrested for DUI although he ultimately plead guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving. The Republicans are all over this and blasting it everywhere. Don’t you think the Kamala Harris team already looked into it? Plus, it was in 1995. Should that haunt you forever? No, we should want people to improve. He says he stopped drinking after that and has had a clean record. That is a good thing. Bring up current issues and we can talk but this should be left where it is which is in the past.
