Honeybee producers are kicking off 2025 with big losses.

Schoolhouse Rock taught a generation how laws are made. But now, a big measure like the highway bill is the best way to fix some issues. Also, Linda Allen, an OOIDA board member who fell into the business of trucking, has become an important voice on behalf of truckers and veterans. And the city of Chicago has developed a bad reputation in trucking as the location of a significant amount of fraud that targets truck drivers. 0:00 – Newscast 10:12 – Making her voice heard on behalf of truckers 24:48 – Chicago's reputation for freight fraud 39:32 – Highway bill could fix some big trucking issues

The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast was recently contacted by a representative of the American Communist Party, seeking more information about trucking and truckers, with a particular focus on truckers in Canada. As this podcast is happy to speak with (almost) anyone, I was happy to hear from someone on the opposite side of the bottom of the horseshoe to myself, and I thus invited Timmy onto the show in what is something of a two way interview - she asking me about trucking, and me asking her many questions about her communist ideological priors.I know many people who follow me might be aghast at the idea of speaking to a ‘Commie' but I think our highly volatile political discourse landscape obscures definitions and forgets that not all stereotypes apply. As I mention to Timmy on the show, when I became a bit more well known for defending the Freedom Convoy, the very first people to seek my input on the reality of the Convoy and its class composition were legitimate working class Marxists, not the obese purple haired maniacs whose brains have been fried by Identity Politics and The Borg™️. It seems like Timmy and her comrades in the American Communist Party, like myself, want nothing to do with that nonsense, and would rather focus on the material improvement of working people, including truckers.Throughout the discussion, we discuss the particularities of wage suppression in trucking, the abuse of migrants by policies pushed by Mega Carriers, as well as indentured servitude programs run by their own co-ethnic gangsters, the history of Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters, and much else. I mention this great book about Hoffa in the show, and you ought to read it.Timmy recently appeared on a Twitter space with fellow trucking media Internet Niche Micro Celebrity Timothy Dooner, where they discussed the ACP employing the term ‘MAGA Communism'. A complimentary and interesting discussion, which you can listen to here.As you know, I'm working on a book titled “End Of The Road - Inside The War on Truckers” and you can find out more about that here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorAs always - questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Roads have something, don't they? Something that makes them different once the sun goes down. Maybe it's the silence, the loneliness of miles without a single light, without a living soul, or maybe… it's what's been left behind, waiting. Those who spend too much time behind the wheel know it well. Truckers, bus drivers, night travelers. They all have a story to tell. Apparitions by the roadside, figures hitchhiking that vanish when you turn around, voices on the radio calling your name.Tonight, those stories are for you.Follow Uriel onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/upolch/Twitter: https://twitter.com/upolch Follow Sonoro onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisissonoro/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThisissonoroTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thisissonoroVisit our website: www.sonoromedia.com

From the old-school CB radio hookups to today's encrypted apps and burner phones, this isn't just an affair... it's an underground economy fueled by silence and secrecy.This one's not about side chicks—it's about survival, deception, and the kind of cheating most families never even think to look for.True Crime: Alexis Knight Podcast:  Join the Podcast and dive deeper into the chaos of real-life crime with Alexis Knight!

Voice Of GO(r)D is pleased to bring you an in-depth discussion about a problem in North American trucking that gets very little attention, with a man trying to solve it.Evan Shelley is the CEO of Truck Parking Club, a sort of app based ‘AirBnB' for truckers to find parking.Parking? Parking? What do you mean, parking?Its not guaranteed that truckers can find somewhere to beach their rigs and go to sleep every night in many parts of the continent, and some of the busier routes along it. There exists only one parking spot for every 11 trucks on the road, and the game of musical chairs that ensues every evening across this great land causes unnecessary consternation for many. Evan is here to tell us all about this problem and the many aspects and consequences of it, and how his service has delivered a great benefit to many truckers who can't afford to wait for new truck stops or the government to build rest areas.https://truckparkingclub.com/Sign up for their newsletter here - friend and former guest of the show Mike Lombard is a regular and excellent contributor.https://newsletter.truckparkingclub.com/You can find Evan on Twitter - https://x.com/TruckparkingguyTPC posts regular updates to their official account - https://x.com/TrukParkingClubAs always, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.comI'm writing a book about the War on Truckers - find out more here - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorHope to see some of you at the Mid-America Trucking Show this week!

Out there on the endless highways, beneath a sky so wide it makes one feel like a speck of dust, the road hums a tune only the lonely can hear.. The trucker moves forward. But in the dead hours, when the radio static turns to murmurs and headlights carve shadows into the dark, something stirs just beyond the shoulder. A flicker in the mirrors. A presence in the cab when no one should be there. On the long haul of existence, where the absurd and the unknown collide, the road is never truly empty. And maybe—just maybe—some destinations were never meant to be reached.

His trailer didn't even come close to making the corner and caused some pretty good damage to the front of our parked truck. There is always something exciting going on in a trucking company. What To Expect From Episode 174 Truck driver pay is a complicated subject. There are a lot of different factors, probably the biggest being if you operate locally or over-the-road. Most local drivers are paid hourly and most over-the-road drivers are paid by the mile. Hourly paid is pretty straightforward, over-the-road, not so much. We spend most of our time talking about that. Here are some of the areas we touch on: Deadhead miles Bonuses (There is a lot that goes into this one.) Why I feel torn about incentive type pay We finish off by discussing how to figure out how much to pay and what are some of the things you should think about in that regard are.

Jorma Starratt grew up in Athens, GA, spending his early years immersed in the vibrant music scene at the legendary 40 Watt Club by the age of 10. His father, Ken Starratt, was a member of the iconic band The Squalls. It was through these experiences Jorma was on the cusp of something truly groundbreaking. Athens was producing bands such as R.E.M, The B'52's, Pylon, Elf Power, Of Montreal, Five Eight, Wide Spread Panic, Drive by Truckers and so many more. Once he finished high school, it was inevitable he would take his upbringing straight into the music scene He put together the band Prozak, which became very popular and reached impressive heights. Unfortunately, some of the band members chose different paths, and the band eventually dissolved.As the old adage says, when one door closes, one door opens. Into that door comes an exciting new direction for Jorma. Flag pole writes, "In the early aughts, outsiders viewed the Classic City as the home of redneck rap, thanks to Bubba Sparxxx scoring a 2001 MTV hit with “Ugly.” In 2003, Herb and Skills set the record straight. Under the direction of producers Jorma Starratt and Hano Leathers, rappers Bird, Ishues, Jawz of Life, Fort Knox and more laid down stone-cold classics with a Wu-Tang sword style. For proof, look no further than Ishues' razor-sharp verses on “The Saga Continues.” It's forgotten history now, but press play on Spotify and the lyrical depth, full-bodied production and cinematic samples weave together a disarmingly profound time capsule from a sophisticated era of Southern hip hop.Jorma talks to me about these exciting days, going out to L.A. and how he wishes he could go back to some of those times again. Who knows......maybe he will.

Voice Of GO(r)D is proud to present a conversation with Guy Meister, a Nova Scotia trucker whose little daycab R Model Mack sat on Sussex Street in Downtown Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy.Guys act of peaceful protest, of standing around in Ottawa drinking coffee with his fellow countrymen, has now earned him the bizarre pursuit of the Canadian government, who have engaged in a capricious and Kafka-esque case of Lawfare against Guy that has now run for over three years, and has seen Guy make the 2000 mile round trip from his home in Nova Scotia back to Ottawa 16 times for court.So much for carbon emissions; as I type this, he is on trip number 17.I found out about Guy from my good friend Donna Laframboise, who has appeared on this show twice in discussion about The Convoy (links below), and who has just released her new book ‘Thank You, Truckers!', which exclusively profiles the regular working class Canadians who made up The Convoy or supported it. Not the politicians or the organizers or big names, just the everyday people you never hear about, who go humbly about the work of keeping society functioning, and patriotically rose up to meet the challenge of a government gone astray.Guy's story is pretty incredible, and he represents, in an understated way, the best of the Canadian everyman - humble, hardworking, and totally apolitical until the Covid Regime came along and turned our world upside down.As mentioned in the intro, you can meet Guy and Donna this upcoming Sunday, March 16, at 630 pm, at the Biker's Church of Ottawa, 155 Carillon Street.Here is their website - https://www.bikerschurch.com/Guy is back in Ottawa to continue fighting the bastards, and he has court dates scheduled for March 18, 19, and 24, all at 10am at the Ontario Court of ‘Justice' in Ottawa, 161 Elgin Street.If you are around and can make it, I'm sure he would love a show of support.https://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/locations/ottawa/This get together is being organized by the wonderful Melissa McKee, and you can follow her on Twitter - https://x.com/TheMelissaMckeeGuy is being represented by Brian Doody of Doody Counsel (great name, lol) and you can follow Mr Doody on Twitter and LinkedIn.https://x.com/DoodyCounselhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-doody-ma-llb-39813626/Lawyers, as a lesser subspecies of human, often catch a lot of flak for their shenanigans, but Doody is one of the good ones; pop over and say thank you.The Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms has been supporting Guy's case, and you can donate via a button on their own article about him.https://www.jccf.ca/court_cases/peaceful-trucker-arbitrarily-detained-for-hours-without-access-to-legal-counsel/For more links, information, and a bunch of great photos, head over to my substack, and while you are there, smash that subscribe button https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/the-little-r-model-that-could-guyAs you heard, I'm writing a book about the decades long war on truckers in North America, and you can read about that here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorIf you have a couple of bucks to spare to help me get this book out the door -https://www.givesendgo.com/EndOfTheRoadThanks for listening, and as always, share this with your fellow truckers or anyone else who might be interested.Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com
