@FreightAlley Top 5 for sure, if not Top 2 in all-time freight econs.

@maybedanielleee Dear ATD, please remember who's fault it was when you vote in November, and make ensure all you family and friends are aware of the pain this caused so you can encourage them to vote correctly too. Unfortunately, we'll probably only have a choice between evil and the lesser evil.

Let me get this straight...

A CDL holder pulled over, climbed into the sleeper berth, and handed the wheel of an 80,000-pound commercial vehicle to a passenger with NO CDL.

The passenger then crashed it into a ditch along I-80.

And we're supposed to sit here and pretend this is just another trucking story?

Absolutely not.

For every professional driver out here doing it right, this should make your blood boil.

The men and women of trucking spend weeks, months, and years learning this profession. They study regulations. They train. They sacrifice time with their families. They fight weather, traffic, four-wheelers, deadlines, and everything else the road throws at them.

Why?

Because operating a commercial vehicle isn't a game.

* It's a profession.
* It's a responsibility.
* It's a privilege.

And when somebody hands the keys to a person with no CDL and no business behind the wheel, they're not just breaking the law....they're disrespecting every professional truck driver in America.

Every time something like this happens, it becomes another headline that paints trucking in a bad light.

Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of drivers are doing the right thing every single day, moving America's freight safely and professionally.

The trucking industry doesn't need less professionalism.

It needs more. If you hold a CDL, act like it means something.
Because it does.

The professional truck drivers of this country have earned that right through hard work, sacrifice, and responsibility....and stories like this are an insult to every one of them.

@RobCarpenter Every weigh station in America should be a roving mandatory stop check station.

@maybedanielleee Better yet, farm #1 is integrated with your tracking software and when you leave their goefence, the load shows shipped in their system, and when you return, they show the load as shipped and it takes an act of God for someone to do a shed check to realize it's still sitting.

@FreightAlley They understand that it's a cycle. More money can fall to the bottom line by developing more efficient networks at higher RPMs without adding expensive assets and recruiting more qualified drivers...thus the freight rates remain higher due to lesser capacity.

[Behind Enemy Lines | Red in a Blue State @genexporter]

@maybedanielleee Mega carriers use brokered 3rd party carriers to haul freight on megas trailers for high volume, non-dedicated contracts where they have established drop & hook trailer pools for contracted (asset level) rates that allow them to put either owned or brokered power under the load

@FreightAlley Depends on the LOH

[Minnesota Miners @MinnesotaMiners]

@amyklobuchar You have never worked for the people of Minnesota. It has always been about you and only you. We do not need someone like you who cares nothing for this state as the governor. You must be defeated in November or it will be the end of Minnesota.

[Behind Enemy Lines | Red in a Blue State @genexporter]

@FreightAlley The decision by @CHRobinson to reverse course is less about a newfound desire to mitigate risk by hiring safe carriers and more of an indictment on their past practices of profiteering...finding the cheapest trucks on 18 wheels who were both unsafe and operating illegally.

@kaelaberg WTF is light and love?

@bimbly Fair Trade?

@atutruckers We need to put the non-doms on freight from CA, OR and WA to HI...they luv those long-mile hauls

@Savsays Welcome to MN! This is about what you can expect from the insane liberal left and their gang of miscreant judges and lawmakers.

[maybe danielle 💻🚛🇺🇸 @maybedanielleee]

"The idea is that if the freight brokerage is forced to share part of the liabilities of the trucking companies it selects, it will implement stricter vetting measures to prevent hiring high-risk motor carriers. Freight brokers will no longer be financially rewarded for willful ignorance."
