The Latest On Driver Pay. We got the skinny on driver pay. Class A CDL drivers are professional drivers but are they get paid like a professional? Which way is it going? Up or Down? Tune in and listen to TalkCDL and hear the latest episode.

Get ready for a true joy-ride with our extraordinary guest, Miss Carole Del Vecchio . We're exploring the highways and byways of life, learning, and the love of vintage vehicles. Carole's life is a testament to the power of hands-on creation, innovation, and invention. She brings a wealth of experience from working on 'kickstarter' Harleys, 70 XLCHs, FLH shuttles, and Camaros. Prepare for a conversation that takes an unconventional route through the twists and turns of gaining wisdom through mistakes, daring adventures, and living life free of instruction manuals.Together, Carol and I venture into the world of education, challenging the concept of dependence in learning. With her Class A CDL and her own trucking company to her name, Carol's journey underlines the importance of doing it yourself. We discuss the growth of dependence over time and the pressing need for dynamic training and development systems. It's all about amplifying people's learning and earning capacities, breaking the chains of dependence and fostering a spirit of self-reliance. Finally, we shift gears and focus on a dimension of our educational system that's often in the periphery - the discouragement of exploring trades. Buckle up as Carol and I advocate for courage to color outside the lines, to embrace trades, and to celebrate the joy of hands-on creation. We talk about her experiences as a welder, auto mechanic, and gearhead, and the incredible impact of embracing imperfections. It's time to rethink, refuel, and reignite the power within. So, tune in and let's hit the road with Miss Carole Del Vecchio!Build more meaningful connections with our trades men & women:https://www.depthbuilder.com/visible-leadershipGet on the path to Becoming the Promise You Are Intended to Be: https://www.depthbuilder.com/2nd-first-bookConnect on all the other socials at:http://depthbuilder.bio.link

When team Driving Ends Bad. Recently a team driver, shot his co-driver while in Texas. The victim then called 911 and reported the incident. Can you only imagine how that relationship must have been? This, many times, a team ends bad. Not necessarily with one of the team members shot but relationships don't end unless they are bad. So the perpetrator got into a police chase and ultimately ended up in a shoot out with police. That's right, I said a trucker was in a shoot out on the side of a road, with police. The trucker in question pulled his big rig to the side of the road and exited the semi with gins a blazing. He did not survive. After all, if you shoot at ten policemen, you should not have too guess how it is going to end. Team driving can be a nightmare. Many times when traveling inside a tiny space, living together in a sense, 24/7/ nerves can be tried and patience can be tested. Most teams in a tractor trailer, know one another. Many time over, a team consists of a husband and wife or a brother and brother or even a friend and a friend. These teams tend to last longer than a team, that is made up of two strangers. There are companies that with team two people up, that have never met prior to orientation. This can be a disaster when the two have nothing in common. For example, one might like it warm in the truck and the other, cold. One might want to smoke and the other, not. There are many issues that can set off a war inside a semi. All issues should be taken into consideration before teaming tow people up.

And most importantly, we'll start the show with some hand signals every trucker should know to combat human trafficking.

TRUCKERS TO THE RESCUE. Recently a snow storm had motorist stranded on I95 in Virginia. The Interstate was shut down for 15 hours. During this time people started running out of gas and had no choice but to abandon their vehicle. Luckily for many, there were quick thinking, kind hearted truckers also stuck on that road. Many truck drivers were seen handing out food and blankets to families that needed a warm piece of clothing. These kind act will be forever imbedded in the minds of those that needed something that night, to keep themselves alive. FMCSA is pushing forward with 18 to 20 year old truckers to join the ranks of semi truck drivers. It's no secret, that the DOT is pushing for the younger generation to get their CDL. FMCSA is starting a pilot program that will last three years. The program will consist of two parts of training. Once the young drivers have completed this phase, they will be on their own trucking across America.

CDL EXAMINER ARRESTED HANDING OUT CDL'S. A Pennsylvania CDL Examiner was arrested after gave passing grades to Class A CDL driver without taking the test. According to arrest records, Roberto Correas was charged with wire fraud with the alleged charges. Correas allegedly provided a pre-signed CDL skills exam score sheets to a co-conspirator, who then also allegedly would complete the sheets with passing grades for drivers who did not actually take the test to fraudulently qualify them for CDLs. Correas also allegedly conducted CDL skills tests for a company, and applicants paid $275 for each exam. Correas did not submit those payments to the company and kept the money, supposably. Trucker shot in the face by passing motorist A truck driver was traveling on Interstate 95 in the Richmond Hills Georgia. He passed a Blue Ford Focus but moments later the car caught up to the victim. As the car was passing the trucker, a person leaned out of the window branching a rifle. The perpetrator then shot and struck the trucker in the face. The truck driver said that the incident happened while moving at a rate of 70mph. The truck driver managed to stop at a truck stop where he called police. After examination by EMS, it appears that the weapon used was a BB gun. If you have any information about this incident please contact the State Police in Georgia. 54 People Killed when a Tractor-Trailer wrecks Chiapas, Mexico: On December 9th 2021 in Southern Mexico, a semi truck crashed carrying over 200 migrants.

We're back with Part 2 of the interview with Zach Smacher, about what it's like for a new trucker in their first 6 months. We left off with a cliffhanger, so that's where we'll pick it back up. But first we're going to talk about the FMCSA's new rules about COVID extensions and how they're bending over backwards to get new truckers into the industry. We'll also talk about President Biden's vaccine mandate and how that's going to affect the trucking industry. And in related news, how to get your own authority if you want to sidestep the mandate. LOL What else? The pros and cons of working for a union shop, no government money for truck parking, higher per diem rates starting soon, lower Social Security benefits expected in the future, a naughty fuel card company, changes to an age-old technology - the CB, and with winter coming up, I'll point you to a great resource for chain laws state-by-state.

This includes those applying to: Obtain a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time; Upgrade an existing Class B CDL to a Class A CDL; or Obtain a school bus (S), passenger (P), or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the first time. The ELDT regulations are not retroactive; the entry-level driver training requirements do not apply to individuals holding a valid CDL or an S, P, or H endorsement issued prior to February 7, 2022. If an applicant who obtains a CLP prior to February 7, 2022, obtains a CDL before the CLP or renewed CLP expires, the applicant is not subject to the ELDT requirements. -------------------------------------------------------- fmcsa eldt rule, what is the eldt rule, fmcsa eldt training provider registry, fmcsa entry-level driver training requirements curriculum, 49 cfr 380.503 - entry-level driver training requirements, new cdl requirements 2022 -------------------------------------------------------- Here's more info: https://www.jjkeller.com/learn/entry-level-driver-compliance#:~:text=Compliance%20with%20the%20new%20Entry,Upgrade%20a%20CDL%3B%

MOLESTERS, TRUCK PARKING SCAM, TRUCKING NEWS. Child molesters are probably number one or at least very high on the list of scumbags on the planet. Give him a Class A CDL and you now have given him an unlimited hunting ground. On May 17th, Said El Bouazzaoui  was chatting with an undercover officer posing as a 13 year old girl using a social media application. Police say Bouazzaoui talked about the sexual things he wanted to do with the 13 year old and offer money for the sex.  El Bouazzaoui set up a rendezvous and was arrested by deputies with the Davis County Sheriff's Office when he arrived. El Bouazzaoui admitted to conversing with the undercover officer posing as a minor, and that conversation was found on his phone. Police also say there was other conversations on his phone with other possible victims. El Bouazzaoui is a trucker based in Pennsylvania who travels all 48 states on a weekly basis. Although the arrest statement does not actually say that contact was made with a minor, it is illegal to entice or converse with a minor or a suspected minor for anything sexual related. Everyone is innocent till proven guilty but it does not look good for anyone caught setting up meeting with children for sex, even if it is a police officer posing as that child. Truck Parking Scam Miami Fl: Recently the police set up a supposed "sting" in Miami allegedly for people helping truckers find much needed parking for their big rigs. imagine being a police department flooded with murders, drug cartels and semi truck parking problem? Truck parking? I can smell what the politicians of Miami are stepping in. Some where some how the orders to stop all investigations on serious crimes and concentrate on the big bad truckers and their semi trucks has to be a hoax right? Well its official, someone gave the orders. I dont think the police are the problem and I seriously dont believe that the police department of Miami determined this to be high on the list of problems that need to be solved. It sounds more like some rich politician has a bug up their ass and has put pressure on the mayor which in turn ends at the police department. Come on Miami get your act together and go solve some crimes instead of harassing the working class that are bringing your goods that you need every day.

Trucker Concerns. Truck drivers concerns are on the rise in the industry. Truck drivers are concerned about a few things above the rest. One of those concerns is autonomous trucks. Truckers are starting to fear for their futures and rightly so. Self driving trucks are reported to be coming along faster than originally thought. A truck driver with no more skill than driving across country for a living could be seeing their last generation of human piloted tractor-trailers. If the filthy rich have their way, truck drivers will be a thing of the past. On the trucking podcast we talked about this and all the other concerns that truckers are most concerned about. You can find the podcast on most podcast platforms like Apple Podcast, Stitcher, Podbean, Google Podcast and any where a podcast host is you can find TalkCDL Trucking Podcast. Speed Limiters. Another issue truckers are concerned with is speed limiters. From what we are hearing the authorities are calling for a national speed set for all semi-trucks. The speed that is rumored is 65mph. Many truckers are concerned with the safety of other drivers being a split speed limit between four wheeled vehicles and either wheeled vehicles could pose a safety risk for the general public. The other issue is slower speed means more man hours to get the already tiresome job of delivering freight across the country done. Truck Driver Arrested Trucker CONCERNS. A truck driver was arrested at the Golden Spike Travel Plaza in Tremonton. An unnamed tanker driver was attempting to deliver fuel to the truck stop when another semi truck blocked the gas tanks, preventing him from delivering the fuel and completing the job. The tanker driver claims he asked the other driver, Danny Jerome Johnson, to move his rig, but Johnson became “belligerent.”  After an argument between the two broke out, the tank driver claims that Johnson grabbed a sharp edged pipe from his rig and attacked him. He claims Johnson then fled the scene. Later on the highway patrol stopped and arrested Johnson. Coming soon Johnny Acid is back If you remember Johnny Acid from the show a few years ago, he's back. Johnny sat down with Troy for the first time in 2 years. The interview was toughing but funny. Johnny talked about his new career, you guessed it, a trucker. Thats right Johnny has obtained his Class A CDL since leaving the show almost two years ago. He will be joining the show once again on a regular basis.

Recently a truck driver claims to have consumed dummies that were suppose to be THC free! After buying and eating several bottles Trevor Darrow failed a drug screen. He is now suing Florida-based Just Brands USA in Illinois District Court. In the suit, Darrow argues that Just Brands USA violated the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Trade Practices Act by labelling their CBD products “No THC” when he says that they do in fact contain THC. Darrow ultimately was terminated from his employer and was out of work for several months. Have you tested Positive with a safe product If you have tested positive for THC while using a "THC Free" product, call us. TalkCDL would like to interview you on one of our shows.

The US DOT is looking for past military personnel that are interested in driving a tractor trailer for a living. This is the first step to allowing under 21 year olds to obtain a Class A CDL and cross state lines. In this weeks podcast, Ruthann suggested that s program that allows drivers to start off with regional type driving would make a great program. Troy agreed with this suggestion and added that a radius depending on the state would make sense. Fro example if a driver lives in Maryland, he/she could driver into PA, DE, NJ, VA and WV. Ruthann and Troy agreed that one year of this kind of driving should get a young trucker ready to run all 48 states.

Five Trucking TrendsFive Trucking Trends Shaping 2019. We won't go into exact detail but there are many trends shaping th trucking world. Independent Contractors or Owner Operators is making a strong comeback. At times past the numbers of truck drivers owing their own trucks were at a decline. The industry has done an about face and drivers are investing in their own rigs and trying to cut their own path. Currently if a driver would take the chance at starting his own company his odds are better than ever of succeeding. At one time a trucker was at the mercy of leasing onto a trucking company and depending on the carrier to provide freight for them. Today opportunity is knocking for those that will. Shippers are begging for carriers to haul their freight which opens the door for new and upcoming businesses. If you have decent credit and a couple dollars saved you could be the future owner of the next mega carrier. http://bit.ly/TruckingTrends Trucking is a Trend It seems more and more people are entering into the trucking industry. Five Trucking Trends Shaping 2019. Woman and Men both are signing up for the adventure trucking offers. Many are leaving behind that office job that coops them up all day long with a set of eyes over them. Trucking is one of those dreams that can be fulfilled in a matter of a month or so.

Thats right, less than 2 months experience and she is dealing with something that most drivers will Neve have to do. Her man was in trouble and she was about to take over. She stopped what she was doing and was about to take her new semi to the nearest hospital in Pennsylvania. Chelsee would get him to the hospital on time so he can get the 6 bypass heart operation he received that night! Imagine the terror she must have felt but Chelsee looked terror in the eyes and kept going. By the grace of God this story worked out and both are doing fine today.

Newbies Trucking Can Be GreatNewbies Trucking Can Be Great if you will give it a fare chance. When you are given the opportunity to obtain a free CDL along with a contract for a job, Honor it. Thats right, honor the ink you signed on the page. After all its your word you have given agreeing to work for a carrier in exchange for a Class A CDL. A Class A CDL is a about equal to a collage degree but only better. You see when you have your CDL you have chance to make in most cases more than the average collage graduate. Driving a Semi Truck for a living also gives you the freedom of the open road if that is what you are wanting. A real trucker dreams of the day he obtains his license to drive the the big rigs. http://cdltrainingspot.com/13-reasons-why-truck-drivers-quit-for-good/ Trucking is a career not a job Newbies Trucking Can Be GreatNewbies Trucking Can Be Great if it is considered a career and not a job. Many people have heard that trucking is a great chance to make lots of money. This was a big mistake once they pursued this so called "job" they thought they were after. Once on the road they found out it was not for them. What we are trying to say is trucking is something more successful men have wanted and dreamed about most of their lives. Its a well thought out lifestyle and they have studied all about it most of their young lives. Most people that succeed already have a general idea of how life on the road will feel. All thats left is honing their skills and living the dream. http://www.facebook.com/talkcdlhttp://www.TalkCDL.com Stop Screwing Up Your Contracts Many drivers start out with one of the big companies like Swift, Werner, CR England and many more. Newbies Trucking Can Be Great if you would just finish what you started. Before going into this career you should count the cost that will be upon you. You will need to look ahead and consider what your life will be like. You have to know that your life will not be the same as it was before you leave home. Once you leave for the first time you will feel all kind of emotions. Those that are married with children will feel an emptiness when you wake up the next day in the cab of a strange truck. You will feel fatigue from adjusting to life on the road. Your eating habits will change and perhaps your health will statistically grow worse. Thats right a big percent of truckers have high blood pressure, high, blood sugar and many more health issues from life on the road. So consider everything before you waist a huge period of your life throwing money out the door along with putting unneeded stress in your life. https://www.smart-trucking.com/blog/new-truck-driver.html/

TalkCDL sat down did the Kyle Rich Interview - 19 Yr. Old trucker! We talked about how the laws prevent a 19 year old from doing the same things a 21 year can do with their Class A CDL. A Truck driver under 21 is not allowed to cross a state line. These young drivers are what is considered intrastate only, meaning they have to drive with in the state they are domiciled in. So now here is what it comes down to. A trucker under the age of 21 is allowed to drive the same hours as an "Over-the-road" trucker but they are not allowed to cross the state line. So that means, the 19 year old driver can run across say Pennsylvania for over 400 miles. But if his delivery is one mile past the state line in New Jersey, he must drop it on the Pennsylvania side and let someone else make the delivery. Thats right, he can be trusted to drive all day long performing the duties of a Class A CDL holder but not go one foot into another state. Crazy right? Well these are the laws that are on our books to this day. I say its time for a change, if it is towards improving the industry. https://www.ccjdigital.com/senate-files-bill-to-allow-under-21-truckers-to-drive-interstate/ Accidents Kyle Rich Interview - 19 Yr. Old Trucker - Most driver between 16 and 25 are a high risk when it comes to getting insurance to drive. Numbers don't lie and these young drivers have proven over time that charging them high insurance rates justifies the price! Most young people are considered mature and careless when it comes to their driving habits and the statistics are there to bak up the claims. So if you're a young driver and better yet a young "trucker-Wanna-Be" you won't have long if you keep your driving record clean. https://www.dmv.org/insurance/why-teens-pay-more-for-car-insurance.php Kyle Rich Interview Set Your Goals If you're a young trucker or you are young and considering trucking as a career. You should have your eye on the goal. That goal is being hired by a carrier when you obtain you CDL. One thing that will help help you is a clean driving record. Thats right, its hard to say "no' to a clean CDL. So with that being said, try not to speed. get in the practice of changing lanes safely! Practice leaving a cushion between you and the vehicle in front of you and make sure you are aware of all traffic laws. This will enable you to pass your Class A CDL driving test easily! trucking companies look at driving records as one of their main priorities when trying to maintain good insurance rates. Most trucking companies are rewarded for hiring drivers with good records. Companies are charge more if they hire a certain amount of drivers with bad records. The Kyle Rich Interview - 19 Yr. Old Trucker was conducted by Troy and Ruthann of TalkCDL in their Studio in sunny Florida. http://www.TalkCDL.com http://www.facebook.com/TalkCDL TalkCDL Interviews If you are in Trucking and would like to be on the how please contact us through Facebook and let us know what you want to talk about.

Prisoners are now getting their Class A CDL while in Prison. Trucking companies are also in return looking into hiring in those places. Companies are desperate to fill their empty rigs and this is the place where competition is low. Prison Classes A prison in Ohio has worked out a peculiar deal with a local trucking company. As part of their inmate rehabilitation program, the Richland Correctional Institution offers a Commercial Drivers License Program through which currently incarcerated inmates can earn their class A CDL. CDL Truck Upon successful completion of their written exam, participants take part in a 4 week training program offered by Trainco, a local CDL school. Once they’re released from prison, they can choose to sign on with P I & I Motor Express as full-time trainees. During their time as trainees they do short hauls and stay at a local halfway house. Eventually they move on to longer OTR trips, and can then stay with the company or seek employment elsewhere. Prison facility These days everyone is trying to do their part and the prison system is no different. By offering programs such as "truck driving" they are helping build  a better country. Prisoners on the outside may have never thought of this career. The goal is to become a trucker and never go back to prison. Talk-CDL has been speaking about careers in trucking for many years now and is all for this new angle. Troy Austin has said many times that trucking is a lifestyle and not a job. With hope and help these drivers will have an entire new lifestyle. It was not so long ago that prisoners were fed bread and water and chained up together. Nowadays prisons are very different and a variety of programs  have been implemented as jail time moves away from punishment to rehabilitation. Trucking is now part of the solution. https://www.thetruckersreport.com/cons-get-cdls-as-part-of-prison-program/

Drivers have you ever had a hard time getting a job? Did your trucking school swell your head with statements like "Once you get your Class A Cdl everyone will want you" or "All trucking companies will be kissing your ass once you get your license". Many truck drivers every year ruin their CDL just by copping the wrong attitude. Join the gang as they discuss the cons of not taking crap from anyone at a trucking company. Let us know what you think.

Today we have a special treat, Mr. Ron Henderson is with us and we talk about his career as a CDL (commercial drivers license) driver. Ron stays out for 3-4 months at a time, and is only home for usually 1 week! We address this, as well as his thoughts on lease purchase, and career outlooks. If you are a new trucker; than this is a great podcast episode for some good inspiration on what is needed of you as a brand new trucker in the CDL industry, primarily the Class A CDL industry. Of course, all truckers are welcome, and this trucking podcast episode is very entertaining no matter who you are (I could be bias).
