  4. Mike Collins’ Own Truckers Have Been Involved in Deadly Crashes as He Vows to Make Roads Safer — ProPublica

    propublica.org/article/mike-co

    Mike Collins, a congressman from Georgia, wants to take away commercial driver’s licenses from noncitizens. Over the past 25 years, truckers for his businesses have been involved in crashes that killed five people and injured more than 50 people.

  5. Very interesting, and I'm OK in private use, not on our shared highways

    #GoodMorning #Bonjour

    Been up for a long time, just sharing posts now.

    The startup that dares to ask, “Why does the Macbook driving my freight around need a whole cab?” just showed off a fully driverless, cab-less, and truck-less battery-electric freight platform designed to handle containerized cargo more efficiently than ever.

  6. What wrecks a load faster on your side: bad handoffs, late updates, or pretending the driver can just absorb the chaos? #Dispatch #Trucking

  7. Everything looks fine on the board until the pickup window shifts and the whole load starts falling apart in real time. That is not a driver problem. That is an ops problem wearing a driver's face. #Dispatch #Trucking

  9. Remember that time Elon said he was making a semi-truck? 😂😂

    Anyway, here's a real company making a real-life truck.
    Up to 600km range.
    20-80% fill in 50-85min
    six-speed transmission
    13-tonne axle
    GCW of up to 48T with payload of 28T.

    These are the things we need to be doing for those “last mile" applications where electrified (catenary) rail is not possible.

    The preview doesn't seem to be happening on the Inside EV website so I added a screenshot.

    Here's the actual Volvo product page with a ton more details, pictures, video etc.

    'Everything comes off a truck'.
    And that was a choice to get votes?

    The common story is that rail was seen as competing with private enterprise trucking, and sole trader truck owners were seen as voters for neoliberal governments. So rail was neglected and trucks on the road encouraged.
    Not sure how accurate this story is.

  11. #Gas

    Bought some gas for one of my cars for the 1st time in months.

    $78 15 for 13.026 gals at $5.999/gal for Premium which this particular car requires.

    The last time I bought any gas, I think it was around $4.859/gal.

    That's a 23.5% increase 🤦🏻‍♂️

    I'm glad that I don't drive any of my ICE vehicles much any more. 😉

    ---------------

    PS: I also own a #diesel #truck that I drive the least of all of my vehicles.

    The price of diesel at the same station is now $7.299/gal up from around $5/gal the last time I looked.

    That's a 46% increase in about the same time frame. 🤯

    Just think what this increase is doing to the #trucking industry & what it will soon do to the cost of everything, because everything (at one stage or another) is delivered by truck.

    The #USPS already announced that it is imposing an 8% fuel surcharge on pkg deliveries starting on 4/26.

    This won't be the last that we see of such surcharges or other cost increases due to the higher fuel costs precipitated by #Drumpf's idiotic war in #Iran.🤦🏻‍♂️

  12. Truck spotting Australia

    Trucks are wonderful machines which bring most of what modern societies need to retailers from wholesalers, accross thousands of kilometers nautical & land miles

    Wave to a truck driver when he sees you, their lives are lonely since they need to spend hours on the road and sleep in the trucks too at truck stops

    In AU, do NOT overtake a road_train!

    • request attention from the driver
    • he will signal you when it's safe to pass
    • it can take many minutes!
    • DON'T BE A HERO!
    • The driver has three sometimes even four trailers he pulls, he IS a train on the road
    • A lot of mass is moving there
    • MASS IS SLOW

    Don't be a hero don't pass a road train without thinking!

    Road Trains can be fun to drive but it is a tasking job, more intense than driving single trailer trucks. The vehicle mutli-trailer combo acts slow in response to all your moves. forcing you as the driver to pre-calculate them and anticipate the delayed reaction

    Definition

    A road train, also known as a land train or long combination vehicle (LCV), is a semi-trailer truck used to move road freight more efficiently than single-trailer semi-trailers. It consists of two semi-trailers or more connected together with or without a prime mover.[1] It typically has to be at least two trailers and one prime mover.

    Important

    Road trains are often used in areas where other forms of heavy transport (freight train, cargo aircraft, container ship) are not feasible or practical

  13. Higher oil and fuel prices hit road transport industry that moves ‘everything you buy in shops’

    Increasing fuel prices are putting pressure on an already struggling road transport industry, with the potential to impact…

  14. And if you drive some of the smaller roads roadside restaurants like this are everywhere. Ample truck parking (usually paid 25-50 zł, do 5 to 10 pounds if you want to park overnight), good and affordable home cooked food, shower and there is a supermarket next door on this one. #hgv #trucking

  15. Ciężka sprawa z tym pytaniem kierowców polskich TIRow o cb radio. Juz chyba żadni Polacy nie jeżdżą polskimi TIRami. Sami Ukraińcy i inni ludzie wschodu, właśnie spotkałem jakiegoś Mongoła :-)

    Ale kolega busiarz mi potwierdził że jeszcze dwa lata temu jak używał to PL 28 AM.

  16. 15-minute warning: firing up Euro Truck Simulator 2 and rolling out of Tornio in the Nordic Horizons DLC.

    Expect chill road time, light chaos, and a lot of “wait, which lane am I supposed to be in?”

  18. I'm not into trucking. I don't like big rigs. But Truck World Australia is so, so pretty, perfectly encapsulating the magic of the Aussie landscapes. Also, your truck's radio picks up stations playing literally the best songs ever. Seriously, you can get the game for the music alone.

  22. The trucking industry is on the brink — gutted by Driver Inc., cowardly enforcement, and race-to-the-bottom practices.

    If we don’t fix this now, we risk losing the backbone of our economy. 📦🇨🇦
