Trucking Commentary: The Impact of The CSA

I doubt there is a trucker in America that has not heard of the CSA regulations. It represents one of the biggest changes in trucking in decades. The question I have is how is it working out for today's trucker and trucking company. We'll I do not know how to answer that:

Western Star for sale

So far it has increased costs for everyone and a few firms have been shut down BUT no one can argue that the roads are not safer. I have also seen the violations of the shut down trucking companies and to be honest, I am surprised they lasted as long as they did.

So far so good..

As long as the shut down process is reserved ONLY for major violators, we will be ok.

Truck: Western Star with Cottrell For Sale

 This is a must read article for any carhauler or trucker. Sometimes the most dangerous things are the things you overlook. No one ever walks into a truckstop and views a plate of biscuits and gravy as deadly. And on its one it isn't. But add that to another 700 fattening meals and the cholesterol weight gain effect could easily shorten your life.

Hence TSA is promoting diet and weight loss with this contest. Bringing publicity to this issue WILL save the lives of many truckers who are not eating healthy. So hearing about this one man, is well worth the time to read.

Your Editor Chimes In About Trucks..

I saw an excellent balanced article about trucking and truck traffic on the internet. I like it so much that I responded to the author about how to reduce traffic on the road. I have put the link at the bottom but I have also put my response in this post about how creating telecommuters would get people off the road.

Western Star Lomax

Jim,
      I work in the marketing department of a trucking company and appreciate your open viewpoint.I had this thought though. With all the technology can't millions of people telecommute? I mean the trucks need to be on the road, but the commuters do not...

Hey Truckers: Where Are The Jobs?

Used Peterbilt Truck for Sale: Click  for information

I cannot speak for every trucker or every fleet manager in the trucking industry. I can guess that what I am about to say is probably an opinion of a lot of truckers and fleet managers. I keep reading about statistic after statistic of economic improvement BUT I still ask this question:

Where are the jobs?

An unemployment rate that is dropping because people are being forced to work minimum wage jobs is NOT FOOLING ANYONE. Raw tonnage, wall street, executive opinions are pointless statistics if millions of Americans cannot find a job that pays enough to cover the most basic bills like food and mortgage.

Your Government At Work: Soliciting Truckers Of Other Nations To Take Your Jobs

From TruckersNews.com
2012

 "Concerned the cross-border trucking program hasn’t attracted enough Mexican trucking firms, U.S. Department of Transportation officials are urging more carriers to apply."

 Stories like this leave me scratching my head. Why are taxpayer resources going to get a foreign nations truckers to take our truck driving jobs?

• Is the recession over?   
• Are their jobs to spare?

 
The idea that Americans are going hungry and a government official is asking more carriers to take more jobs is beyond belief. Are you at all shocked why we are in this recession?
