Supply Chain Meltdown "Truckers" And The BS Rules!

He’s very good at trend analysis, been watching his vids for awhile! Thx for posting!

Thank you..

Theyve been claiming thos for years.
Its bound to come fruitation eventually.

Regulated to death

The end

Former owner/operator, they're making it increasingly less profitable for small business owners to make a buck and overregulation is taking a toll, pretty soon there will be very few owner/operators left as the cost of doing business goes up, But it will a while before they completely replace the driver, there has to be someone at the wheel that can deal with the unforeseen, because those rigs don't stop on a dime.

I watched this this morning. Crazy stuff on the horizon

Video says it's not profitable for Owner Operator Driver's to use their vehicles under Driver Lease Companies who send these guys out on regular routes where they sit at docks for 6 hours and get turned away.

When Trucking deregulated in the 1980's we lost all the Dispatchers. sveryone schedules their own loads. In the Age of Covid that just won't work anymore.

So this sounds like a logistics issue that isn't coordinating with supply issues. Which could mean that Amazon has found a loophole and a better system.

If Kroger can't process my load within a reasonable time, I will drop the trailer in the parking lot and pickup my other load.

6 hours? Try 12-48 hours. Veteran truck driver here.

Impossible to do if you're under a live unload or the trailer is yours and you're an owner operator. Only company drivers or lease-on drivers can get away with this. If you are a company driver or an O/O that leases onto a big company, you are doing the ATA's bidding and you
are part of the problem.

like AJ said

they will tax USA into oblivion

You should see all the new farm equipment with the DEF/regen systems.

All the dry stuff lands on the exhaust and ignites the implement and field.

Cannot replace drivers.
With auto drive trucks you can jack a load without hurting a single person. Almost white collar crime.
Just box them in and park.

Thread: Lumber Is Going Backwards Through The Supply Chain, Retailers Are Selling To Distributors

hurry up and wait getting longer?

Thats called "abandoning a load", playa

In the comments a trucker claimed he went to fuel up at Cosco and there was a sign stating they were no longer going to be selling diesel.

Another person stated that diesel would go before gas, beef before pork then chicken.

Who really knows what the plan is, but it does look like this ship is going down.

Typical truck driver isn't exactly the most brilliant person you've ever met I'm guessing the average IQ is about 85

Unfortunately that is true thanks to the CDL mills trying to fill a "driver shortage" that never existed. They lowered the standards of classes and shortened their length and bend laws all of the time just to get drivers in seats. The result is lower pay and a higher rate of crashes but a fatter bottom line. That's all they care about.

oh they'd love to but the driverless tech doesn't work in the real world, yet

I know a few owner ops that are killing it freight is hot right now.

Driver pay is decent for otr 70 cpm is not uncommon.

I have seen 0 fuel issues.

This same crap has been posted three different times in the last few days.

70cpm for an owner/operator is shit pay dude. O/O's don't start making money until around 1.20 per mile.

Husband and I were driving through Nebraska for most of the day today. LOTS of truckers on the road.

Keep fuel in my car?

If things are THAT bad where am I gonna go anyway???

Doom City?

They are almost in complete control of the supply train. Just look at who owns the trains, trucks, ect.

You should have prepped! We've been telling you for 20 fucking years!

70 cpm company driver.

Hell my friend an oo just ran a dry load at almost $7 a mile

I hauled a load of grapes a few weeks back 1215 miles almost $9k
