Trucking Landscape Could Look Different After Nov. 3
Topic 28717 | Page 1
This election is either, mobs or jobs. Period.
Not going to vote for someone who is a public figure and refuses to wear a mask, of all things.
Also not going to vote for someone who looks like they are about to fall over any moment.
That being said, the electoral college decides, not our vote. :)

If it was by popular vote new York, California, and a couple other states would decide our leaders, and we don't want that. About the mask, can you really believe to the people on TV that has second guessed this whole plandemic all year?
But like said above : its either mobs or jobs.
But no matter what you believe hope you stay safe.
Welp, As someone who has to pay for fuel , here is something most company drivers don’t think about. Since we have become energy Independant, our fuel costs have steadily gone down I spent $73000 in fuel in 2018 I spent $65000 in fuel in 2019 And fo far in 2020 im at $31000 (I did sit for 7 weeks due to covid). We have 4 months left in the year but i dont think i will spend $34000 to even come near last years numbers.

Know if it was by popular vote then each and every person would Would count one vote so no matter where you lived your vote would be equal to any other person

This is the only phrasing in almost four years that I've actually considered the Republican Administration as not being a bunch of scavenging jackdaws.
After that though this is a poor reason alone to base a vote off of this cycle.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.EPU:
Electric Auxiliary Power Units
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices
Not even close. Show me the data.
