Friday Short Haul - Daimler self-driving Freightliner, driver's ed students, StopTheTires cancelled

Quick comment here, regarding DaveW. 's awesome publication:

1.) I'm SO not worried about self driving ANYTHING in my lifetime, haha! Until an infrastructure is built exclusively for such, I don't see it happening. Almost like 'rebranding' the RxR in my eyes.

2.) The Driver's Ed course accommodating and incorporating a Tractor Trailer into it's training is SPOT ON. It SHOULD be mandatory! My daughter took a class at our local Career Technical Center (machining) after she'd already gotten her license, and the NEW Driver's Ed students are now educated about T/T's, thanks to a 'seizure' of a rig, and a donation to the school. AWESOME. I'm not into politics, but this would be a GREAT IDEA for someone that is, to introduce into legislature, as mandatory.

3.) Last i'd heard, was ... the 'Stop the Tires' was ... DELAYED~!! That guy setting all this up must be a peach. Apparently his 1st attempt fell by the wayside and got parlayed, due to his 'participants' getting sidetracked with FRACKING. He's got a NEW page up and running, stating that it is . . for now, . . 'on hold.' Sheesh.

Cancelled? Delayed? Really?

Have a great day, guys & gals. DaveW., thanks again for sharing your journalistic talents with us, from a driver's perspective! (Yes, I've read your CV, haha!)

This notion of Democrats wanting to stop fracing is just wrong.

Some Democrats want to stop fracing but not all Democrats do.

Fracing boomed under the Obama administration. Many Democrats support fracing, especially Conservative Democrats.

Fracing only boomed under Obama because it was new, nobody knew what you were talking about, and they were still discovering places to frac. There has been so much bad press and demonization of it that you get people who know nothing about it that want to ban it. Biden has expressed multiple times on his website and at the debates that he wants to scale it back and get rid of as much of it as possible.

^^^^^ And . . . y'all be just 'feeding' into it! Jeremy Rewoldt RESTRUCTURED the whole 'Stop The Tires' movement / protest, because EVERYONE on his 2 (or first?) initial facebook pages MADE IT ALL ABOUT FRACKING... His latest 'page' is what I shared above.

Dave Wickenhauser does a helluva job providing us with the Friday Short Haul pages, and I for one, even though I've perhaps read some of his renderings elsewhere, LOVE it.

PLEASE don't make this political.

If it's MY fault for sharing that Facepalm page, I apologize.

Do either of you have anything creative to help getting teenagers in Driving School (non CDL of course) engaged, or possibly something mandatory, via your local legislature, so they are MANDATED to take, as part of getting their first plastic, a class in HOW TO MANEUVER around a big rig?

That's my FAVORITE clip. If I swayed y'all into fracking .. that was NOT my intention. There's another thread on that, and we are SO non politico around here..... so... yeah. Just go LOOK at all the 'venting' at TTR. Comedy of errors...and I'll shut up now.

Be safe guys (and gals.) Drop the politics, please? Dave had NO intentions .. of such.. and I myself, shared info. Lastly, wanting all kids/teens to be schooled on maneuvering around the rigs!

ps: Y'all think we will have Daimler trucks circling us.. anytime soon?!?!?

Peace. Luck in battle.

Fracing has been around long before Obama.

Biden may be against fracing but not all Democrats are.

Joe Manchin for one. This idea of only two sides on issues is wrong.

Frac has been used extensively since the 40’s, it isn’t new. Obama pushed to limit and in some cases stop drilling permits in many locations but things were already ramping up as oil prices climbed which is why you saw the boom.

A 100% nation wide strike will never happen. I will never take place in one because i have children to take care of. And strikes while trump is still president hurts trump not biden
