WHEN TRUCKERS ATTACK TRUCKERS. A truck driver pulls in the wrong way at a truck stop. Another truck driver is coming out of the truck stop where the first driver is trying to pull in. Words are exchanged and both men get out of their trucks. More words are said and one driver retrieves a sword from his truck, swinging it at the first driver. One man is in the hospital and one man goes to jail. In another incident, two truckers are at a receiver. They get into an argument. One man is dead and the other is in prison for a very long time. This happens more often than most realize. Maybe not as extreme but every day truckers get into kittle fights with each other and t could end deadly. What is the best thing one can do while over the road? Number one, leave when you spot trouble. Number two, be alert to your surroundings. Truck Driver receives a DUI In White Plains truck driver Billy Robinson, 55, of Inwood, NY was given a DUI after he was tested positive for Alcohol with a level of 0.24% blood alcohol. He was released to a sober third party and must appear in court 11/19/21 A letter from the ATA The letter below was sent to one of our friends at a major trucking company. It outlines the issue of the mandatory vaccination Dear ATA members:We have outstanding news to share this morning regarding the vaccine mandate Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) that OSHA released yesterday.  We have received indications from senior Department of Labor officials that the exception for employees who exclusively work outdoors or remotely and have minimal contact with others indoors does exempt solo truck drivers from the mandate. Furthermore, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh is on record saying so. ATA will continue to advocate for the broader workforce as well.While we complete our due diligence to confirm this fact through official channels, this appears to be a major victory for ATA and our membership.  This is a result of our pressure campaign during the rulemaking process and all of your help as ATA drafted our comments and strategy.We continue to believe that OSHA is using an extraordinary authority unwisely and applying it across all industries at an arbitrary threshold of 100 employees in a way that fails to take into account the actual risks. ATA will continue to consider potential legal action to protect all segments of our workforce from this misguided mandate.We will be back in touch with you shortly regarding official confirmation from the Department of Labor, an updated tool kit to use for your workforce and our next steps.Thank you for your support, as always. We're happy to be able to share this great news with you this morning.

Tonight's guest has had multiple Sasquatch-related experiences, in her time, as you'll hear on tonight's show. One of the most memorable ones happened when she was hauling a load to Billings, Montana, years ago. She had parked the 2010 Freightliner Cascadia she was using to haul a load of paper, for the night, in a remote location, just off US-12. The location where she parked was in a canyon where the was no cell service. At first, she thought that she was all alone. It wasn't long before she came to the realization that she wasn't alone, though. She had company and it wasn't the kind of company she wanted. We hope you'll tune in and listen to her talk about what she went through that night, as well as multiple other Sasquatch experiences she's had.If you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like to be a guest, on the show, please go to https://MyBigfootSighting.com and let us know.

Truckies have dismissed claims the Government is "bending over" for the industry.There are growing calls for people to be fully vaccinated if they want to leave Auckland.Otago University epidemiologist Nick Wilson claims getting this mandated is being made difficult by the trucking industry.Transporting New Zealand CEO Nick Leggett told Heather du Plessis-Allan they've been complying with testing at the Auckland border.“This idea, I think, that truck drivers are putting the rest of the country in danger is an appalling attack on really important vital workers who keep New Zealand fed and clothed.”Leggett says requiring truck drivers to be fully vaccinated before leaving the region would cause issues.LISTEN ABOVE
