The only way they get rich is to crap all over the trucking industry and might I add, they will need federal approval. Tune in and hear what's going on. An Industry Hurting The Truck Driver

Female Trucker attacked by Male Trucker
A famale trucker was traveling on I78 in Pennsylvania this past week. All of sudden a driver was pulling here over and accusing her of hitting his truck. One thing lead to another and the male driver Reginald Warner or Texas, started punching the woman in the face. Police showed up and Reggie is now in the slammer. Tune in this week and hear this story. Let's Talk About ICE Raids
How Many Illegal CDL's. There are - Approximately 100,000 truck drivers in the United States are illegal immigrants.
- This estimate is based on the proportion of undocumented workers in the transportation and warehousing sector, which is higher than the national average.
- It's surprising that truck driving, requiring a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), has a significant number of undocumented workers, given legal barriers.
### Background
Truck drivers are vital to the U.S. economy, with around 3.5 million professionals ensuring goods are transported across the country. The transportation and warehousing sector, where most truck drivers work, employs about 5.6 million people and has a higher proportion of undocumented workers compared to other industries, at around 6.4% in recent years.
### Estimation Process
The estimate of 100,000 undocumented truck drivers comes from analyzing the sector's workforce and the distribution of undocumented workers. Given the legal requirements for a CDL, such as proof of legal residency, it's notable that this number is significant, suggesting some undocumented workers may find ways to navigate these requirements, possibly through state-specific driver's license policies or other loopholes.

A trucker did drugs when he was on his way to do a drug screen
You heard that right. A trucker was on his way to an orientation, when he met up with two young ladies on the greyhound. Ultimately the girls had some cocaine. One thing led to another and up their noses went the white magical powder. Maybe I shouldn't joke about it but hey, what can I say? When anyone snorts drugs the day before he is scheduled to give a urine sample and submit to a DOT drug screen, it merits a few jokes.
Trucker Robs Bank and Uses a Bobtail as a getaway car
You heard it right. A truck driver decided to rob a bank. He then leaves the scene of the crime and proceeds to jump in the getaway vehicle. You guessed it right, a big rig. I guess he was trying to be less conspicuous. You can't write these stories as far as fiction goes. The stories that come out of the trucking community are just, how do I say it? Oh yeah, unreal, crazy and bizarre. Harley Vs Semi Truck
UPS Makes Cheap Offer For Drivers To Resign. Wow, can you believe how much or little UPS offered their driver, to resign? We did the math. If a driver has ten years with UPS and takes the "buy out". He will receive $18,000 minus taxes. He will take home approximately $14,000. The problem is, he is probably making over 100K per year. So, they are offering their drivers, 2 months pay to leave behind a high paying job. Then the drivers will have to replace UPS with, most likely a job that does not pay that well. Which would you choose? UPS Makes Cheap Offer For Drivers To Resign
Narcotics in Trucking
Recently TalkCDL Trucking Podcast caught wind of a story. A driver that is prescribed a narcotic, actually believes he is allowed to be on the drug and be a semi truck driver. That's a big no no.

The Trucking Insurance Guy. Did you know that Spectrum Insurance is an insurance company above he rest? Laife the Trucking Insurance Guy goes above and beyond to help his customers. His specialty is Cab Reports.
What's a Cab Report> Im glad you asked.

It's a crucial tool used by insurance companies, brokers, and even potential business partners to assess risk and make informed decisions about working with a particular trucking company.

2008 was a bad year in trucking But
If you remember 2008, you can recall how truckers were not working. When truck drivers are willing to run New York City, you know times are tough. This was the case back in 2008. We all thought it couldn't get worse than that year. Flash forward to 2025 and we have been in a freight recession for 3 years now. Covid struck in 2019 and it would set off the worse times in trucking we have ever seen.
Trucking companies are going out of business left and right. Truck drivers once again are having a hard time finding work. When will it end? Carriers and everyone in the industry are looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. these times make 2008 look like a hiccup.

Retired Truckers Can't Afford Retirement. Can you imagine trucking all your life. You retire and can not afford to retire? This is the state we are in. The economy has gotten so far out of hand, that truckers are trying to start working again. This should not be. A man has worked their entire life and should enjoy a little rest from their labors.
We have been interviewing men that are in their 70's and even their 80's. They all say the same thing, "I can not afford to stay home anymore". The amount of driver we are hearing from is huge.

Hi Talk CDL I was wondering what Lane do you think is the safest to be in for a Semi traveling in New England ? Thank you guys for making this podcast🤙 John
I'm new to this podcast but as a 25 year truck driver who listens to podcasts I really think you could lengthen this format to at least 2 hours. 30ish minutes to a trucker is only like 5 minutes to a non trucker. This podcast would grow ten fold if it were stretched out. Good job though.
Really enjoy the podcast! Would love to be on the next one!!
that young dude sure had a lot of wrecks
trainer with swift told me he tells his trainees to average 400 miles a day.....you need to run 600 to 650 a day to make money.
what does Tyler do that made him transfer to a new city.
the guy that ran over the cop in Arizona while looking at Facebook only got 6 years. look it up dingleberry
