Transcript

0:00:09.134 --> 0:00:10.155
Oh, what's up, family?

0:00:10.175 --> 0:00:11.935
We back in the truckers lounge again.

0:00:12.316 --> 0:00:13.736
And today's topic,

0:00:14.237 --> 0:00:15.837
we're going to touch on the

0:00:16.458 --> 0:00:19.919
verdict that New York City

0:00:19.979 --> 0:00:23.301
judge imposed against Donald Trump.

0:00:23.381 --> 0:00:24.602
What was that, Gene, about what,

0:00:24.622 --> 0:00:25.282
three days ago?

0:00:26.262 --> 0:00:26.562
Yeah,

0:00:26.743 --> 0:00:29.204
I think around about Thursday or Friday,

0:00:29.224 --> 0:00:30.104
somewhere up around that.

0:00:30.504 --> 0:00:32.025
It was this past week, you know,

0:00:32.045 --> 0:00:33.326
how they imposed that.

0:00:34.836 --> 0:00:36.896
Yeah, yeah, I was going through it today,

0:00:37.296 --> 0:00:38.497
ran across a few things on

0:00:38.557 --> 0:00:40.037
social media that was talking about it,

0:00:40.077 --> 0:00:41.057
prompted me to go to a few

0:00:41.257 --> 0:00:43.858
articles and look up on it,

0:00:44.078 --> 0:00:46.998
and it looked like this guy

0:00:47.398 --> 0:00:49.459
they call Chicago Ray is

0:00:50.539 --> 0:00:51.439
trying to get drivers

0:00:51.459 --> 0:00:53.719
together to boycott

0:00:53.999 --> 0:00:55.460
bringing freight in and out

0:00:55.500 --> 0:00:56.360
of New York City.

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.461
Yeah, and I saw that, but, you know,

0:01:01.701 --> 0:01:02.961
I kind of already thought

0:01:03.542 --> 0:01:04.763
that a lot of owner-operated,

0:01:04.783 --> 0:01:06.245
because he's an owner-operated, right?

0:01:07.927 --> 0:01:09.028
I'm not for sure.

0:01:09.228 --> 0:01:10.309
I'm willing to guess because

0:01:10.409 --> 0:01:12.451
most companies are like forced dispatch,

0:01:12.552 --> 0:01:14.313
even for their lease owner drivers.

0:01:14.714 --> 0:01:16.215
They're kind of like forced dispatch.

0:01:16.235 --> 0:01:17.697
You know the games they play.

0:01:18.358 --> 0:01:20.920
They'll punish you if you, you know,

0:01:21.141 --> 0:01:23.083
unless they're backing you on that.

0:01:24.123 --> 0:01:25.544
And it's always been kind of

0:01:25.564 --> 0:01:28.506
like my understanding that most guys,

0:01:28.526 --> 0:01:31.087
especially owner operators, you know,

0:01:31.307 --> 0:01:32.468
have kind of like stopped

0:01:32.508 --> 0:01:34.449
going to New York City anyway.

0:01:34.489 --> 0:01:36.630
Well, before we go deep into it,

0:01:36.670 --> 0:01:38.091
let's play the video to

0:01:38.151 --> 0:01:39.932
give more context to it, to the view.

0:01:41.359 --> 0:01:42.480
President Trump supporters

0:01:42.540 --> 0:01:43.661
are pushing back against

0:01:43.761 --> 0:01:46.404
what they see as an unfair justice system,

0:01:46.744 --> 0:01:47.845
threatening a boycott that

0:01:47.905 --> 0:01:49.406
could have a major impact

0:01:49.487 --> 0:01:50.868
on the country's largest city.

0:01:51.288 --> 0:01:52.329
Some truck drivers say

0:01:52.349 --> 0:01:53.030
they're planning on

0:01:53.090 --> 0:01:54.812
refusing shipments to and

0:01:54.912 --> 0:01:56.673
from New York City in

0:01:56.734 --> 0:01:58.836
protest of that $355

0:01:58.836 --> 0:02:00.617
million verdict against the

0:02:00.657 --> 0:02:01.738
former president in his

0:02:01.818 --> 0:02:02.900
business fraud trial.

0:02:03.300 --> 0:02:04.361
Drake Clark is live in

0:02:04.381 --> 0:02:05.262
Manhattan with the latest.

0:02:05.702 --> 0:02:07.864
Dre, what could this boycott do to prices,

0:02:07.924 --> 0:02:08.765
not just in New York,

0:02:08.845 --> 0:02:10.826
but for all of us across the country?

0:02:12.388 --> 0:02:12.608
Well,

0:02:12.648 --> 0:02:14.009
certainly if truck drivers were to

0:02:14.029 --> 0:02:15.270
boycott New York City,

0:02:15.350 --> 0:02:16.371
the impact has the

0:02:16.411 --> 0:02:17.512
potential to be very

0:02:17.552 --> 0:02:18.833
damaging and very quickly.

0:02:18.873 --> 0:02:20.294
We're talking about supermarkets,

0:02:20.374 --> 0:02:21.935
big box stores and other

0:02:21.975 --> 0:02:24.377
businesses that rely heavily on trucking.

0:02:24.477 --> 0:02:25.638
They would feel the pinch

0:02:25.798 --> 0:02:27.600
and so would their customers.

0:02:27.900 --> 0:02:29.862
About 90% of communities

0:02:29.902 --> 0:02:31.503
here in New York City rely

0:02:31.563 --> 0:02:33.525
heavily on trucking to move their goods.

0:02:33.565 --> 0:02:34.045
This morning,

0:02:34.285 --> 0:02:35.646
we're on the Jersey side of

0:02:35.666 --> 0:02:36.827
the George Washington Bridge,

0:02:36.847 --> 0:02:38.629
and every day you can see hundreds,

0:02:38.689 --> 0:02:39.569
if not thousands,

0:02:39.609 --> 0:02:40.810
of trucks crossing the

0:02:40.870 --> 0:02:42.752
bridge from Jersey into the city.

0:02:42.832 --> 0:02:43.252
Meanwhile,

0:02:43.432 --> 0:02:45.234
one man is now telling truck

0:02:45.274 --> 0:02:46.895
drivers not to come to New

0:02:46.935 --> 0:02:48.256
York City after former

0:02:48.296 --> 0:02:49.557
President Trump was hit

0:02:49.617 --> 0:02:50.518
with that massive

0:02:50.838 --> 0:02:52.639
multi-million dollar fine last week.

0:02:52.739 --> 0:02:53.180
Take a listen.

0:02:54.575 --> 0:02:55.356
I've been on the radio

0:02:55.376 --> 0:02:57.317
talking to drivers for

0:02:57.337 --> 0:03:00.480
about the last hour, hour 15 minutes.

0:03:01.881 --> 0:03:03.922
And I'm talking to at least

0:03:03.922 --> 0:03:05.444
10 drivers going the other way.

0:03:05.504 --> 0:03:07.405
I'm heading down from South Wisconsin.

0:03:08.746 --> 0:03:10.668
And they're going to start

0:03:10.708 --> 0:03:12.009
refusing loads in New York

0:03:12.049 --> 0:03:13.130
City starting on Monday.

0:03:15.502 --> 0:03:17.523
Yeah, the man calls himself Chicago Ray,

0:03:17.663 --> 0:03:19.985
and as of last night, his post on X,

0:03:20.045 --> 0:03:20.886
formerly Twitter,

0:03:21.186 --> 0:03:22.447
had garnered more than 6

0:03:22.447 --> 0:03:24.348
million views and 60,000 likes.

0:03:24.368 --> 0:03:25.929
Former President Trump also

0:03:25.969 --> 0:03:27.330
caught wind of what Chicago

0:03:27.390 --> 0:03:29.011
Ray is doing and reposted

0:03:29.051 --> 0:03:30.792
Ray's video on his platform,

0:03:30.832 --> 0:03:31.513
Truth Social.

0:03:31.793 --> 0:03:33.114
But it's hard to ascertain

0:03:33.174 --> 0:03:34.835
exactly how many drivers

0:03:34.895 --> 0:03:36.476
are answering his call and

0:03:36.536 --> 0:03:38.237
what kind of impact it may have.

0:03:38.557 --> 0:03:40.058
It's not an organized effort,

0:03:40.118 --> 0:03:41.419
and the drivers expressing

0:03:41.780 --> 0:03:43.401
support for Chicago Ray,

0:03:43.681 --> 0:03:45.382
they're scattered all across the country.

0:03:47.563 --> 0:03:47.784
Okay,

0:03:47.804 --> 0:03:49.725
so now that we see that News Nation

0:03:49.765 --> 0:03:50.646
has the story,

0:03:51.166 --> 0:03:52.747
this must be something big

0:03:52.787 --> 0:03:54.108
that they're taking serious

0:03:54.248 --> 0:03:55.849
if News Nation is airing it.

0:03:55.889 --> 0:03:58.291
But go ahead on with, you know,

0:03:58.331 --> 0:03:59.071
your dialogue.

0:04:00.232 --> 0:04:03.354
Yeah, I was just pretty much wondering,

0:04:03.414 --> 0:04:03.655
you know,

0:04:03.675 --> 0:04:05.076
because I had pretty much

0:04:05.336 --> 0:04:06.457
thought that most...

0:04:07.382 --> 0:04:08.903
Drivers or at least a lot of

0:04:09.143 --> 0:04:10.384
owner operators had kind of

0:04:10.404 --> 0:04:11.525
made the decision a while

0:04:11.585 --> 0:04:14.587
back to kind of stop going

0:04:14.647 --> 0:04:16.108
to New York City anyway,

0:04:16.168 --> 0:04:18.469
because the rates had dropped, you know,

0:04:18.869 --> 0:04:20.290
to cross the GW Bridge.

0:04:20.330 --> 0:04:20.430
Now,

0:04:20.450 --> 0:04:22.292
the last time I went over to New York

0:04:22.332 --> 0:04:26.742
City was probably around 2017, 2018.

0:04:26.742 --> 0:04:29.884
And then it was $200 to cross the bridge,

0:04:30.645 --> 0:04:33.066
the GW Bridge, to get into New York City.

0:04:33.727 --> 0:04:34.908
And then you're going to pay

0:04:34.968 --> 0:04:36.609
another amount to come back out,

0:04:36.629 --> 0:04:37.850
to come back into Jersey.

0:04:38.350 --> 0:04:38.690
You know,

0:04:39.291 --> 0:04:40.992
that's still not on top of the

0:04:41.052 --> 0:04:43.273
price in diesel over in that area.

0:04:43.734 --> 0:04:46.556
And also the limited parking

0:04:46.916 --> 0:04:48.017
that's over in that area.

0:04:48.077 --> 0:04:51.039
And so with the rates being where they are,

0:04:51.059 --> 0:04:52.580
a lot of the rates have gone down.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.341
I just kind of thought that

0:04:54.361 --> 0:04:55.661
a lot of the drivers had

0:04:56.002 --> 0:04:57.102
kind of stopped going in

0:04:57.122 --> 0:04:58.423
that area altogether.

0:04:58.443 --> 0:04:59.443
But apparently,

0:04:59.463 --> 0:05:00.504
I guess it's still quite a

0:05:00.544 --> 0:05:02.325
few that's going over there

0:05:02.685 --> 0:05:05.906
supporting that New York City area.

0:05:07.487 --> 0:05:08.548
Drivers won't be able to do

0:05:08.568 --> 0:05:11.089
that anyway in this market.

0:05:12.009 --> 0:05:12.249
You know,

0:05:12.270 --> 0:05:13.730
the market of the day ain't like

0:05:13.770 --> 0:05:15.831
the market of the old where

0:05:15.851 --> 0:05:17.312
you could like pick and choose.

0:05:17.352 --> 0:05:18.653
You got drivers, you know,

0:05:18.673 --> 0:05:19.833
they're taking these what I

0:05:19.853 --> 0:05:21.154
like to call trap loads.

0:05:22.106 --> 0:05:23.527
New York might not be paying

0:05:23.587 --> 0:05:25.028
much in comparison to what

0:05:25.048 --> 0:05:25.789
it used to pay.

0:05:26.409 --> 0:05:28.931
But in comparison to other lanes of today,

0:05:29.791 --> 0:05:31.813
New York may be still paying more.

0:05:32.653 --> 0:05:33.594
So, you know, you got,

0:05:33.614 --> 0:05:34.715
I'm pretty sure you got

0:05:34.735 --> 0:05:37.076
drivers taking these trap loads, you know,

0:05:37.096 --> 0:05:38.337
especially if they hauling reefer.

0:05:39.981 --> 0:05:41.563
you know yeah yeah uh

0:05:41.583 --> 0:05:43.484
because I know I'm a major

0:05:43.544 --> 0:05:44.805
one is the uh the hunt's

0:05:44.866 --> 0:05:46.267
punt the hunt's point

0:05:46.347 --> 0:05:48.589
market you know there and

0:05:48.649 --> 0:05:49.370
so I know that's where a

0:05:49.390 --> 0:05:51.432
lot of reaper guys go um

0:05:52.733 --> 0:05:54.154
like I said I'm unsure what

0:05:54.194 --> 0:05:56.156
the rates may be uh going

0:05:56.276 --> 0:05:57.137
in and out of this city

0:05:57.177 --> 0:05:59.859
right now all right all

0:05:59.879 --> 0:06:00.900
right but it looked like

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.301
the reason why uh

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.341
A big news network like News

0:06:05.401 --> 0:06:06.862
Nation would report on is

0:06:06.922 --> 0:06:09.483
those six million views he got it.

0:06:10.804 --> 0:06:11.904
I don't I don't think they

0:06:11.924 --> 0:06:14.045
said in the video what how

0:06:14.105 --> 0:06:15.486
much time it took from the

0:06:15.506 --> 0:06:17.887
time he posted it up toward

0:06:17.907 --> 0:06:19.788
the time he got those six million views.

0:06:19.828 --> 0:06:22.490
But, you know, and you know,

0:06:22.530 --> 0:06:23.790
we live in a world of

0:06:24.350 --> 0:06:25.991
information and social media now.

0:06:27.692 --> 0:06:29.252
everybody has access to it

0:06:29.292 --> 0:06:31.353
if you got a computer so if

0:06:31.393 --> 0:06:32.433
you're a social media

0:06:32.473 --> 0:06:33.833
influencer or just somebody

0:06:33.873 --> 0:06:35.393
on social media and you get

0:06:35.833 --> 0:06:39.434
that kind of uh view views

0:06:39.574 --> 0:06:42.375
on your uh uh content that

0:06:42.455 --> 0:06:44.595
says a lot especially when

0:06:44.635 --> 0:06:46.175
you're saying something as

0:06:46.815 --> 0:06:48.416
what they may uh consider

0:06:48.516 --> 0:06:50.096
inflammatory comment

0:06:51.036 --> 0:06:52.156
because he's talking about

0:06:52.216 --> 0:06:53.377
basically putting a hurt on

0:06:53.437 --> 0:06:55.697
a whole state yeah

0:06:56.527 --> 0:06:56.748
Yeah,

0:06:57.090 --> 0:06:58.699
and pretty much went viral overnight.

0:06:59.956 --> 0:07:01.978
You know, especially after Trump had,

0:07:02.558 --> 0:07:04.000
because he had shared it, right?

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:05.301
Did he repost it?

0:07:06.162 --> 0:07:06.402
Right.

0:07:06.762 --> 0:07:07.543
But is that what they said?

0:07:07.583 --> 0:07:08.664
It went viral overnight?

0:07:08.684 --> 0:07:09.805
Because that's what I was wondering.

0:07:09.845 --> 0:07:10.005
Like,

0:07:10.045 --> 0:07:12.807
how long did it take for it to get

0:07:12.827 --> 0:07:13.668
six million views?

0:07:14.129 --> 0:07:14.289
Well,

0:07:14.349 --> 0:07:17.011
I could be wrong about it going viral

0:07:17.051 --> 0:07:17.391
overnight.

0:07:17.432 --> 0:07:18.673
I didn't necessarily read that.

0:07:19.013 --> 0:07:21.315
But I know that after Trump

0:07:22.896 --> 0:07:24.678
had pretty much reposted it,

0:07:25.278 --> 0:07:26.800
he had got a lot of views from that.

0:07:29.046 --> 0:07:30.207
After Trump reposted it.

0:07:30.787 --> 0:07:31.007
Yeah,

0:07:31.388 --> 0:07:32.689
because I think he had already gotten

0:07:32.709 --> 0:07:33.049
a lot of views.

0:07:33.069 --> 0:07:33.109
No,

0:07:33.129 --> 0:07:34.350
Trump reposted it because he had

0:07:34.430 --> 0:07:35.831
already had 6 million views.

0:07:37.252 --> 0:07:38.613
So he had had 6 million

0:07:38.633 --> 0:07:39.694
views at that point when

0:07:39.734 --> 0:07:40.635
Trump reposted it?

0:07:40.675 --> 0:07:41.875
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

0:07:41.915 --> 0:07:43.216
That's what the news clip we

0:07:43.236 --> 0:07:44.717
just watched was insinuating,

0:07:45.158 --> 0:07:47.319
that it had got 6 million

0:07:47.379 --> 0:07:48.660
views up toward the point

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.802
where Trump even reposted it.

0:07:51.754 --> 0:07:55.938
oh man yeah so uh now you

0:07:55.958 --> 0:07:56.518
know what I'm saying I

0:07:56.538 --> 0:07:57.719
think you know trump you

0:07:57.759 --> 0:07:59.601
know that's a popular name

0:07:59.801 --> 0:08:02.063
so you know it's it's it's

0:08:02.103 --> 0:08:03.164
no wonder he got a lot of

0:08:03.244 --> 0:08:04.505
views you know just you

0:08:04.545 --> 0:08:06.507
know trump he he still to

0:08:06.527 --> 0:08:07.487
this day has a lot of

0:08:07.507 --> 0:08:08.628
supporters even though he's

0:08:08.668 --> 0:08:09.549
going through what he's

0:08:09.589 --> 0:08:12.472
going through now yeah he

0:08:12.492 --> 0:08:14.393
does you know which I kind

0:08:14.453 --> 0:08:15.674
of which I kind of got

0:08:15.754 --> 0:08:17.216
mixed feelings about it but

0:08:17.256 --> 0:08:19.237
it's just funny to see how the powerful

0:08:20.129 --> 0:08:21.329
fight you know they're not

0:08:21.609 --> 0:08:22.970
like the average person you

0:08:23.030 --> 0:08:25.490
know I'll fight it's kind

0:08:25.510 --> 0:08:27.211
of like nose to nose or

0:08:28.231 --> 0:08:29.611
snitching on you on the job

0:08:29.651 --> 0:08:30.971
and getting you fired or

0:08:30.991 --> 0:08:32.252
some stuff like that they

0:08:32.652 --> 0:08:33.472
right they play dirty

0:08:33.492 --> 0:08:34.632
politics but see a lot of

0:08:34.652 --> 0:08:37.693
people forget what Trump

0:08:37.733 --> 0:08:39.873
did to Andrew McKay I I

0:08:39.913 --> 0:08:41.114
knew when he was in office

0:08:41.194 --> 0:08:43.414
I had said it when you know

0:08:43.454 --> 0:08:46.595
he he well he had a lot going on anyway

0:08:47.569 --> 0:08:49.370
But when he did Andrew McKay

0:08:49.410 --> 0:08:50.710
the way he did him,

0:08:51.411 --> 0:08:52.551
I figured that it was going

0:08:52.571 --> 0:08:53.972
to be some backlash,

0:08:53.992 --> 0:08:54.972
that they was going to find

0:08:55.012 --> 0:08:55.552
a way to get him,

0:08:55.592 --> 0:08:56.453
and they was going to get

0:08:56.653 --> 0:08:58.213
him in the last hour.

0:08:58.734 --> 0:08:59.394
And it looked like that's

0:08:59.414 --> 0:09:01.435
what they're doing now in

0:09:01.455 --> 0:09:02.735
the middle of an election.

0:09:04.156 --> 0:09:08.057
That ain't the guy that was

0:09:08.077 --> 0:09:09.478
getting ready to face retirement, right?

0:09:10.374 --> 0:09:10.574
Yeah,

0:09:10.594 --> 0:09:12.395
the FBI director that took over for

0:09:12.435 --> 0:09:13.315
James Comey.

0:09:13.855 --> 0:09:15.776
After Trump let James Comey go,

0:09:15.936 --> 0:09:18.856
Andrew McKay came in behind him.

0:09:18.896 --> 0:09:20.597
And then after Andrew McKay left,

0:09:20.957 --> 0:09:22.858
I think that's when Trump

0:09:22.958 --> 0:09:24.438
installed Christopher Wray.

0:09:25.278 --> 0:09:27.639
Andrew McKay took over because...

0:09:28.784 --> 0:09:30.445
they didn't have anybody to

0:09:31.145 --> 0:09:32.605
replace James Comey so it

0:09:32.645 --> 0:09:34.066
was the next person up he

0:09:34.086 --> 0:09:36.347
was the man under James

0:09:36.407 --> 0:09:37.927
Comey so that's why he was

0:09:37.987 --> 0:09:39.788
in that position for that

0:09:39.828 --> 0:09:41.588
time being but yeah he was

0:09:41.628 --> 0:09:42.789
the one over that

0:09:42.849 --> 0:09:43.889
investigation I think it

0:09:43.909 --> 0:09:44.649
was the dossier

0:09:44.709 --> 0:09:45.810
investigation or something

0:09:45.830 --> 0:09:47.110
like that all that was tied

0:09:47.190 --> 0:09:50.011
up in it and uh I think it

0:09:50.031 --> 0:09:51.832
was like one hour 30 minutes

0:09:53.411 --> 0:09:54.873
you know anybody viewing

0:09:54.893 --> 0:09:57.157
this who know uh I stand

0:09:57.217 --> 0:09:59.060
corrected posted in the uh

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.343
uh comment section you know

0:10:01.383 --> 0:10:02.365
correct me if I'm wrong but

0:10:02.405 --> 0:10:04.548
I'm thinking he fired that man one hour

0:10:05.525 --> 0:10:07.246
from his retirement and I

0:10:07.286 --> 0:10:12.731
was like oh I said I said

0:10:12.911 --> 0:10:14.712
they gonna get him when he

0:10:14.752 --> 0:10:16.854
get out of office yeah I

0:10:16.894 --> 0:10:18.575
just felt like that and and

0:10:18.615 --> 0:10:19.436
that's what we're seeing

0:10:19.496 --> 0:10:21.097
now you know we've seen

0:10:21.157 --> 0:10:23.199
Colorado and what was it uh

0:10:23.639 --> 0:10:24.940
most of us it was Colorado

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.861
and was it Maine that was

0:10:27.142 --> 0:10:28.763
uh trying to take him off the ballot

0:10:30.041 --> 0:10:31.402
Yeah, I know it was Colorado.

0:10:31.482 --> 0:10:33.383
Was it, yeah,

0:10:33.443 --> 0:10:34.364
somewhere up in the Northeast,

0:10:34.384 --> 0:10:35.224
I think it was.

0:10:36.085 --> 0:10:36.345
Right.

0:10:37.706 --> 0:10:39.708
Yeah, yeah, it was Colorado and Maine.

0:10:40.328 --> 0:10:42.089
They was threatening to take, well,

0:10:42.129 --> 0:10:43.470
they was trying to pass a

0:10:43.510 --> 0:10:44.931
law or something to have

0:10:44.991 --> 0:10:46.972
him put off the ballot so

0:10:46.992 --> 0:10:47.753
that he couldn't run.

0:10:47.793 --> 0:10:48.153
And, you know,

0:10:48.193 --> 0:10:49.134
truckers were trying to come

0:10:49.154 --> 0:10:49.954
together then.

0:10:50.455 --> 0:10:51.816
But it wasn't Chicago Ray.

0:10:51.856 --> 0:10:52.896
It was a different guy that

0:10:53.016 --> 0:10:54.477
I saw was trying to put

0:10:54.537 --> 0:10:56.639
together something where

0:10:56.659 --> 0:10:58.000
they was organizing truckers.

0:10:59.603 --> 0:11:00.825
To not take freight into

0:11:00.865 --> 0:11:02.847
Colorado if they did it.

0:11:03.548 --> 0:11:04.789
By the time the story came

0:11:04.849 --> 0:11:06.011
along about Maine,

0:11:06.612 --> 0:11:07.893
I didn't see anything where

0:11:07.913 --> 0:11:09.735
they posted anything against Maine,

0:11:09.855 --> 0:11:10.797
but they was threatening to

0:11:10.857 --> 0:11:13.340
boycott Colorado.

0:11:14.141 --> 0:11:15.963
Right, and it kind of like died down.

0:11:16.023 --> 0:11:17.425
I didn't really hear that

0:11:17.445 --> 0:11:19.287
much more about that after a while.

0:11:20.300 --> 0:11:20.440
Yeah,

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.323
I didn't really follow up on that

0:11:22.383 --> 0:11:23.544
story either, you know,

0:11:23.584 --> 0:11:24.906
but did you get the details

0:11:24.986 --> 0:11:25.988
about why they hit him with

0:11:26.008 --> 0:11:26.949
this penalty here?

0:11:27.430 --> 0:11:28.070
The reason why they're

0:11:28.090 --> 0:11:29.893
talking about boycotting

0:11:30.373 --> 0:11:31.475
New York City because of

0:11:31.495 --> 0:11:34.279
that judge's verdict on him up there?

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.181
uh well I know he had a

0:11:37.321 --> 0:11:38.602
couple of judgments they

0:11:38.682 --> 0:11:39.842
they was talking about for

0:11:40.222 --> 0:11:41.423
basically what unfair

0:11:41.503 --> 0:11:43.524
business practices so to

0:11:43.564 --> 0:11:44.805
speak and I know he had the

0:11:44.885 --> 0:11:47.566
judgments uh with the the

0:11:47.606 --> 0:11:50.087
lady uh miss miss carol uh

0:11:50.127 --> 0:11:51.048
that was a different case

0:11:51.068 --> 0:11:51.988
that wasn't part of the 360

0:11:51.988 --> 0:11:53.229
that wasn't the same okay

0:11:53.369 --> 0:11:54.089
yeah that one was 88

0:11:54.089 --> 0:11:54.729
million um 383.3 okay

0:12:00.334 --> 0:12:01.174
Well, then it went up to 88.

0:12:01.294 --> 0:12:04.116
I remember seeing something that went up.

0:12:04.216 --> 0:12:05.816
That's what the $5 million

0:12:05.997 --> 0:12:06.997
added on that she had

0:12:07.077 --> 0:12:08.518
already the year before.

0:12:09.138 --> 0:12:09.758
Okay.

0:12:10.719 --> 0:12:10.899
Yeah.

0:12:10.939 --> 0:12:12.459
She had won that from the year before.

0:12:12.799 --> 0:12:14.460
Okay.

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:15.481
Right.

0:12:15.501 --> 0:12:16.461
The 350 million.

0:12:16.901 --> 0:12:19.683
That was about him inflating his assets.

0:12:21.763 --> 0:12:22.164
Okay.

0:12:22.604 --> 0:12:24.485
Yeah, he was inflating his assets.

0:12:25.105 --> 0:12:26.265
And he was getting like,

0:12:26.746 --> 0:12:28.546
very low interest rates on

0:12:28.626 --> 0:12:29.747
loans he was getting.

0:12:32.992 --> 0:12:36.153
yeah which yeah go ahead now

0:12:36.173 --> 0:12:37.293
I'm just gonna say I know

0:12:37.333 --> 0:12:39.194
that with data those

0:12:39.234 --> 0:12:40.674
amounts uh just the

0:12:40.814 --> 0:12:42.655
interest alone on those

0:12:42.715 --> 0:12:43.875
amounts that came up to

0:12:43.915 --> 0:12:45.376
like 99 million dollars

0:12:45.396 --> 0:12:47.036
that they was ready like

0:12:47.036 --> 0:12:50.378
100 million yeah right yeah

0:12:50.658 --> 0:12:51.918
you know they had reported

0:12:51.958 --> 0:12:53.659
that he actually owed back

0:12:53.699 --> 0:12:56.060
but you know what man the

0:12:56.100 --> 0:12:56.960
way I look at that

0:12:58.211 --> 0:12:59.812
I'm willing to bet all of me

0:12:59.892 --> 0:13:03.255
right now that he's not the

0:13:03.376 --> 0:13:06.198
only rich person that does that.

0:13:07.339 --> 0:13:08.620
We've seen it ourselves just

0:13:08.641 --> 0:13:09.341
through recess.

0:13:09.361 --> 0:13:10.282
Like I said earlier,

0:13:10.843 --> 0:13:12.905
we're living in an informational era.

0:13:13.225 --> 0:13:15.147
A lot of stuff you can find out about

0:13:15.687 --> 0:13:17.648
how rich people move just by

0:13:17.688 --> 0:13:19.029
having the proper keywords

0:13:19.109 --> 0:13:20.250
on the internet and looking

0:13:20.270 --> 0:13:21.871
it up and then you got ai

0:13:21.931 --> 0:13:23.132
tools that can help assist

0:13:23.172 --> 0:13:24.793
you along with that as well

0:13:25.234 --> 0:13:27.355
but I'm pretty sure that's

0:13:27.395 --> 0:13:29.797
a you know that's a rich man's tactic

0:13:30.638 --> 0:13:32.719
that a lot of them use to

0:13:32.759 --> 0:13:34.040
have low interest rate,

0:13:34.340 --> 0:13:36.981
even paid less in taxes, you know,

0:13:37.041 --> 0:13:39.682
they inflate their asset, you know?

0:13:40.402 --> 0:13:40.843
And, uh,

0:13:41.143 --> 0:13:42.743
the only difference is between

0:13:42.843 --> 0:13:44.264
Trump and the rest of my

0:13:44.304 --> 0:13:46.045
field is he was loud.

0:13:47.826 --> 0:13:48.106
Yeah.

0:13:48.346 --> 0:13:49.246
That's all the difference.

0:13:49.306 --> 0:13:49.987
He was loud.

0:13:50.867 --> 0:13:53.728
And, uh, you know, when you loud like that,

0:13:53.848 --> 0:13:55.569
and then you doing business like that,

0:13:55.889 --> 0:13:57.170
they will come after you,

0:13:57.230 --> 0:13:59.411
but he has shown time and time again,

0:14:00.664 --> 0:14:01.764
I'm Nino Brown,

0:14:02.605 --> 0:14:03.945
everybody going down with

0:14:03.985 --> 0:14:05.045
me that I know about.

0:14:05.085 --> 0:14:06.546
So I, you know what I'm saying?

0:14:06.566 --> 0:14:08.326
So maybe they done cleaned they house.

0:14:09.286 --> 0:14:10.387
The reason why they going

0:14:10.507 --> 0:14:13.747
after him so hard, but you know, like,

0:14:13.807 --> 0:14:18.189
I think like, uh, this,

0:14:18.509 --> 0:14:20.749
this is all for Donald Trump's case,

0:14:20.769 --> 0:14:21.549
but I think it's still

0:14:21.569 --> 0:14:23.210
related to Donald Trump, Trump,

0:14:23.670 --> 0:14:24.510
like the Fannie Mae

0:14:24.550 --> 0:14:26.391
situation going on down in Georgia.

0:14:26.431 --> 0:14:27.111
I don't know if you've been

0:14:27.131 --> 0:14:27.771
following that.

0:14:28.964 --> 0:14:30.325
haven't been fought okay you

0:14:30.365 --> 0:14:32.147
had some of it this ain't

0:14:32.167 --> 0:14:33.828
the same lady uh that's the

0:14:33.868 --> 0:14:34.889
same one with a lady nice

0:14:34.929 --> 0:14:36.130
looking lady down there she

0:14:36.150 --> 0:14:37.170
took the stairs she was in

0:14:37.210 --> 0:14:38.792
her pink she had her hair

0:14:38.872 --> 0:14:40.853
combed down they're getting

0:14:40.873 --> 0:14:42.054
trouble they saying that

0:14:42.074 --> 0:14:44.716
she had some type of uh I

0:14:44.756 --> 0:14:45.457
was involved with the

0:14:45.497 --> 0:14:46.578
prosecutor or something

0:14:46.598 --> 0:14:49.740
like that right right see

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.362
if I'm not mistaken she was

0:14:52.542 --> 0:14:53.543
the prosecutor

0:14:54.839 --> 0:14:56.463
who was supposed to

0:14:57.085 --> 0:14:58.488
prosecute Donald Trump on

0:14:58.508 --> 0:14:59.511
some charges down there

0:14:59.531 --> 0:15:01.074
about that election down there.

0:15:03.198 --> 0:15:05.519
okay she was I know it's

0:15:05.539 --> 0:15:06.180
supposed to be like a

0:15:06.260 --> 0:15:07.441
conflict why she kind of

0:15:07.461 --> 0:15:09.562
like on out in the media

0:15:09.602 --> 0:15:10.923
now some type of conflict

0:15:10.963 --> 0:15:12.944
of interest she had with

0:15:13.464 --> 0:15:14.725
another attorney I believe

0:15:15.285 --> 0:15:17.987
right which they found out

0:15:18.007 --> 0:15:19.347
they had a relationship

0:15:19.447 --> 0:15:21.188
going on which would be a

0:15:21.248 --> 0:15:23.990
conflict of interest with

0:15:24.030 --> 0:15:26.151
his trial with Trump you

0:15:26.171 --> 0:15:29.113
know and everything so now

0:15:29.153 --> 0:15:30.934
she's under investigation investigation

0:15:32.146 --> 0:15:33.587
Yeah, I'm looking at the, uh,

0:15:33.867 --> 0:15:37.468
article here now by CNN says Trump,

0:15:37.548 --> 0:15:39.569
Georgia case hearing on

0:15:39.629 --> 0:15:42.430
motion to disqualify Fannie Willis, uh,

0:15:42.510 --> 0:15:43.131
continues.

0:15:43.611 --> 0:15:47.052
So yeah, she was a DA on Trump's case that,

0:15:47.312 --> 0:15:49.593
uh, she's supposed to been trying to, uh,

0:15:49.953 --> 0:15:52.194
well, prosecuting him on,

0:15:52.314 --> 0:15:53.795
on that situation with the election.

0:15:53.815 --> 0:15:54.856
They said he did something

0:15:54.876 --> 0:15:55.816
with the election that he

0:15:55.896 --> 0:15:57.357
lied or something like that.

0:15:57.377 --> 0:15:57.417
Um,

0:15:58.617 --> 0:16:00.138
about the integrity of the election.

0:16:00.158 --> 0:16:02.719
But like I say, man, you know,

0:16:03.780 --> 0:16:07.202
I wasn't a Trump supporter, but I mean,

0:16:07.222 --> 0:16:09.243
I ride with the truth.

0:16:09.283 --> 0:16:10.303
I'm not just going to, you know,

0:16:10.343 --> 0:16:11.424
just because I might want

0:16:11.444 --> 0:16:12.425
to vote Democrat,

0:16:12.785 --> 0:16:14.146
everything Democrat tells

0:16:14.206 --> 0:16:15.506
me is not going to be right.

0:16:15.686 --> 0:16:17.908
So I advise anybody watching,

0:16:17.968 --> 0:16:19.528
don't go off of the D and

0:16:19.548 --> 0:16:22.010
the R. Go off of what you

0:16:22.130 --> 0:16:24.331
see and what you don't see.

0:16:24.631 --> 0:16:26.232
And what you don't see is

0:16:26.272 --> 0:16:27.233
what you research.

0:16:28.294 --> 0:16:29.977
You know, so that's what I would say.

0:16:30.358 --> 0:16:30.619
You know,

0:16:30.659 --> 0:16:32.382
you go off on anything that you

0:16:32.402 --> 0:16:34.026
see them accusing Trump of,

0:16:34.667 --> 0:16:36.391
put something in Google like...

0:16:37.416 --> 0:16:38.916
how many rich men did

0:16:38.956 --> 0:16:40.897
whatever they accusing Trump of.

0:16:41.077 --> 0:16:42.497
And I guarantee there's

0:16:42.517 --> 0:16:43.538
gonna be some articles

0:16:43.558 --> 0:16:44.498
that's gonna pop up of

0:16:44.878 --> 0:16:46.278
people been doing the same stuff.

0:16:46.658 --> 0:16:48.379
This is just politics.

0:16:48.819 --> 0:16:49.739
Instead of them worried

0:16:49.799 --> 0:16:51.320
about the country and

0:16:51.380 --> 0:16:52.500
putting us in a better

0:16:52.540 --> 0:16:54.580
position financially,

0:16:55.261 --> 0:16:56.701
especially financially,

0:16:57.281 --> 0:16:58.401
they rather play these

0:16:58.481 --> 0:17:00.922
games here during an election year,

0:17:01.242 --> 0:17:02.522
only just to try to sway

0:17:02.622 --> 0:17:04.543
our votes in one direction or another.

0:17:06.897 --> 0:17:07.197
You know,

0:17:07.277 --> 0:17:09.579
we've talked about it a few times before.

0:17:11.019 --> 0:17:12.560
It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat.

0:17:12.940 --> 0:17:14.221
It doesn't matter that if

0:17:14.261 --> 0:17:15.081
you're a Republican,

0:17:15.581 --> 0:17:16.302
just because you're a

0:17:16.342 --> 0:17:17.302
Democrat doesn't mean you

0:17:17.322 --> 0:17:18.783
have to vote Democrat on

0:17:19.003 --> 0:17:21.324
every single issue that comes across.

0:17:21.344 --> 0:17:22.225
So just because you're a

0:17:22.245 --> 0:17:24.366
Republican doesn't mean

0:17:24.386 --> 0:17:25.687
you're going to kiss your party.

0:17:26.007 --> 0:17:27.627
If you if if you vote

0:17:27.748 --> 0:17:29.588
Democrat on certain issues,

0:17:29.929 --> 0:17:31.049
you have to look at what

0:17:31.329 --> 0:17:33.290
are you voting for or

0:17:33.410 --> 0:17:34.471
against your interests?

0:17:35.282 --> 0:17:36.569
regardless of what your

0:17:36.850 --> 0:17:38.337
party affiliation may be,

0:17:39.620 --> 0:17:41.501
What is this new candidate talking about?

0:17:41.841 --> 0:17:42.982
Is it for or against you?

0:17:43.282 --> 0:17:44.783
And that's how you vote, you know,

0:17:45.103 --> 0:17:47.044
through your own research and everything.

0:17:48.245 --> 0:17:49.026
Right, right.

0:17:49.966 --> 0:17:51.527
Now, what I will say,

0:17:51.847 --> 0:17:52.888
and I hope this don't come

0:17:53.008 --> 0:17:54.109
off like I'm trying to tell

0:17:54.149 --> 0:17:56.070
anybody how to vote because I'm not,

0:17:56.450 --> 0:17:57.831
but this is what I will say.

0:17:58.871 --> 0:18:00.312
If you lost your business,

0:18:00.753 --> 0:18:03.814
whether it be trucking, a food truck,

0:18:04.735 --> 0:18:06.016
if you lost your business

0:18:06.056 --> 0:18:07.997
due to a surge in prices,

0:18:08.898 --> 0:18:09.779
that it didn't make

0:18:09.899 --> 0:18:11.680
financial sense for you to

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.221
continue your business,

0:18:13.661 --> 0:18:15.002
you might not want to vote

0:18:15.022 --> 0:18:17.103
for any candidate that's

0:18:17.323 --> 0:18:19.564
aligned with this current administration.

0:18:20.225 --> 0:18:23.067
If you lost your house or

0:18:23.127 --> 0:18:25.208
your apartment that you may

0:18:25.248 --> 0:18:26.369
have been renting or

0:18:26.469 --> 0:18:31.232
leasing due to a high increase,

0:18:32.135 --> 0:18:34.156
on the rent or the lease or

0:18:34.256 --> 0:18:35.497
even the people who buying

0:18:35.597 --> 0:18:37.378
it and they they caught up

0:18:37.438 --> 0:18:38.979
in balloon payment interest

0:18:39.799 --> 0:18:41.200
anyone who's affected by

0:18:41.360 --> 0:18:42.621
that because of the post

0:18:42.641 --> 0:18:44.902
pandemic you may not want

0:18:44.922 --> 0:18:46.723
to vote for anybody who's

0:18:46.783 --> 0:18:47.704
aligned with this

0:18:47.804 --> 0:18:49.305
administration and what I

0:18:49.345 --> 0:18:50.446
mean by that it could be a

0:18:50.506 --> 0:18:51.646
republican candidate

0:18:52.127 --> 0:18:52.827
aligned with this

0:18:52.887 --> 0:18:54.928
administration it could be

0:18:54.968 --> 0:18:56.069
a democrat candidate

0:18:56.249 --> 0:18:57.670
aligned with this administration

0:18:58.798 --> 0:19:00.198
You have to do your research

0:19:00.618 --> 0:19:02.359
and watch the YouTube

0:19:02.479 --> 0:19:04.219
videos that Google have or

0:19:04.239 --> 0:19:05.279
whatever videos they have

0:19:05.599 --> 0:19:06.320
and start putting the

0:19:06.360 --> 0:19:07.540
pieces together yourself

0:19:07.580 --> 0:19:09.120
and see what's in your best interest.

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.741
But if you're in those two

0:19:11.781 --> 0:19:13.161
situations that I mentioned

0:19:13.301 --> 0:19:14.701
or you stand in the city

0:19:14.741 --> 0:19:16.002
and you're homeless and you

0:19:16.042 --> 0:19:17.202
still got the right to vote

0:19:17.482 --> 0:19:18.222
and you're looking at

0:19:18.362 --> 0:19:19.542
immigrants coming in and

0:19:19.562 --> 0:19:21.423
they're getting five-star hotels,

0:19:22.003 --> 0:19:23.383
benefit from the government

0:19:23.423 --> 0:19:24.584
to pay for their housing

0:19:24.624 --> 0:19:26.704
and their foods every month,

0:19:27.043 --> 0:19:29.184
You may not want to vote for

0:19:29.264 --> 0:19:30.745
anybody that's aligned with

0:19:31.205 --> 0:19:32.606
this current administration.

0:19:32.646 --> 0:19:33.426
That's all I'm saying.

0:19:33.446 --> 0:19:33.827
That's true.

0:19:34.087 --> 0:19:34.527
That's true.

0:19:34.547 --> 0:19:35.888
You just had to vote with sense.

0:19:36.828 --> 0:19:38.889
Yeah, I agree.

0:19:39.750 --> 0:19:39.950
Yeah.

0:19:40.855 --> 0:19:43.198
yeah but uh yeah but you

0:19:43.238 --> 0:19:44.379
know but that's that's

0:19:44.439 --> 0:19:45.640
that's what's going on with

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.403
the trump situation uh as

0:19:48.463 --> 0:19:49.605
far as a matter of fact I

0:19:49.645 --> 0:19:51.627
got a clip here I should

0:19:51.647 --> 0:19:52.468
have played it earlier but

0:19:52.488 --> 0:19:53.169
I'm gonna play it now

0:19:53.209 --> 0:19:54.670
because he'll bring the

0:19:54.750 --> 0:19:56.072
audience more in context

0:19:56.112 --> 0:19:58.615
than I can so I'm gonna run

0:19:58.635 --> 0:19:59.616
this clip real quick

0:20:00.036 --> 0:20:01.177
The judge ordered Donald

0:20:01.237 --> 0:20:02.958
Trump and his company and

0:20:02.998 --> 0:20:04.119
other defendants to pay

0:20:04.419 --> 0:20:06.621
nearly $364 million in

0:20:06.661 --> 0:20:08.102
penalties for what the

0:20:08.142 --> 0:20:09.143
judge concluded was a

0:20:09.203 --> 0:20:12.245
years-long fraud involving

0:20:12.365 --> 0:20:13.306
financial statements that

0:20:13.326 --> 0:20:14.327
Donald Trump provided to

0:20:14.407 --> 0:20:15.548
banks and insurers and

0:20:15.708 --> 0:20:16.969
others that he did business with.

0:20:17.629 --> 0:20:18.529
These financial statements

0:20:18.609 --> 0:20:19.590
enabled Donald Trump to

0:20:19.650 --> 0:20:23.431
save nearly $168 million on

0:20:23.611 --> 0:20:24.611
loan interest because he

0:20:24.652 --> 0:20:26.352
secured lower interest rates.

0:20:26.672 --> 0:20:29.233
And it also enabled him to build projects,

0:20:29.273 --> 0:20:30.754
acquire a hotel and develop

0:20:30.774 --> 0:20:32.134
a golf course that he

0:20:32.234 --> 0:20:34.475
otherwise might not have been able to do.

0:20:34.915 --> 0:20:35.255
However,

0:20:35.355 --> 0:20:36.716
there was a bit of good news for

0:20:36.776 --> 0:20:37.796
Trump and his company.

0:20:38.156 --> 0:20:39.557
The judge before the trial

0:20:39.757 --> 0:20:41.357
in September ruled that

0:20:41.417 --> 0:20:42.518
some of Donald Trump's

0:20:43.578 --> 0:20:44.919
companies and assets could

0:20:44.939 --> 0:20:46.200
be dissolved or put in

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:46.740
control of a

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.322
court-appointed monitor and receiver.

0:20:49.923 --> 0:20:51.984
The judge has since reversed that decision,

0:20:52.264 --> 0:20:53.125
allowing the company to

0:20:53.165 --> 0:20:54.105
continue to operate,

0:20:54.446 --> 0:20:55.526
but putting it under the

0:20:55.566 --> 0:20:56.447
supervision of an

0:20:56.467 --> 0:20:57.688
independent monitor for at

0:20:57.728 --> 0:20:58.828
least the next three years.

0:21:01.870 --> 0:21:04.932
So it sounds like, you know, see,

0:21:05.353 --> 0:21:06.654
first of all, let me say this here.

0:21:08.983 --> 0:21:09.964
But you can't tell me.

0:21:10.304 --> 0:21:11.265
But maybe somebody in the

0:21:11.325 --> 0:21:12.626
comment may tell me.

0:21:12.666 --> 0:21:13.747
Maybe it's a billionaire

0:21:13.787 --> 0:21:15.369
watching this and may want to comment.

0:21:15.989 --> 0:21:16.770
But if you are,

0:21:17.611 --> 0:21:20.673
please tell me that Trump

0:21:20.733 --> 0:21:21.594
is the only one that

0:21:21.634 --> 0:21:22.975
they're accusing of doing it.

0:21:23.196 --> 0:21:23.956
Because we ain't seeing a

0:21:23.996 --> 0:21:25.057
lot of people get caught up

0:21:25.097 --> 0:21:26.018
like this right here on the

0:21:26.078 --> 0:21:27.700
news for something like that.

0:21:28.620 --> 0:21:30.922
Inflating your assets to make more money?

0:21:31.770 --> 0:21:32.971
don't that sound like a rich

0:21:33.011 --> 0:21:34.993
man's tactic that's usually

0:21:35.013 --> 0:21:36.334
what we see what we've

0:21:36.394 --> 0:21:39.557
heard about you know right

0:21:39.657 --> 0:21:40.779
see that's what we talk

0:21:40.819 --> 0:21:42.440
about all the time you know

0:21:42.540 --> 0:21:43.982
like if any you know for

0:21:44.062 --> 0:21:45.263
for the uh subscribers that

0:21:45.303 --> 0:21:47.785
we do have and and and and

0:21:47.805 --> 0:21:48.826
by the way we appreciate

0:21:48.846 --> 0:21:49.927
you guys following and

0:21:49.967 --> 0:21:51.308
watching thank you so much

0:21:51.829 --> 0:21:53.170
but but but for the

0:21:53.190 --> 0:21:54.552
subscribers that we do have

0:21:55.172 --> 0:21:56.853
they know that we are what

0:21:56.933 --> 0:21:58.054
some people would call

0:21:58.474 --> 0:21:59.575
trucking conspiracy

0:21:59.615 --> 0:22:00.935
theories that we talk about

0:22:00.975 --> 0:22:02.096
these shareholders and

0:22:02.116 --> 0:22:03.257
these big companies that's

0:22:03.317 --> 0:22:04.998
affecting the smaller guy

0:22:05.038 --> 0:22:06.859
in trucking rich people

0:22:06.919 --> 0:22:08.340
been doing this you know

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:09.440
the only thing different

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.562
from trump than the rest of

0:22:12.582 --> 0:22:13.783
them that I feel that's

0:22:13.843 --> 0:22:16.844
beneficial to us is that

0:22:17.325 --> 0:22:21.067
his own comrades them pissed them off

0:22:23.011 --> 0:22:24.775
So when he gets pissed off,

0:22:25.356 --> 0:22:27.140
he start giving to the people that need.

0:22:28.591 --> 0:22:28.952
Yeah.

0:22:29.612 --> 0:22:30.633
Guess who I'm voting for?

0:22:31.614 --> 0:22:31.994
Yeah.

0:22:32.094 --> 0:22:33.736
He don't mind telling it.

0:22:33.756 --> 0:22:34.637
Right.

0:22:34.657 --> 0:22:35.838
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

0:22:35.858 --> 0:22:39.221
You know, exposing it, so yeah.

0:22:39.721 --> 0:22:41.382
Yeah, so that brings you into context.

0:22:41.402 --> 0:22:41.863
But see,

0:22:42.483 --> 0:22:44.185
if you pay attention to the language,

0:22:44.765 --> 0:22:45.546
at the end,

0:22:46.006 --> 0:22:47.588
he was saying basically like

0:22:47.628 --> 0:22:50.350
the judge was going to shut

0:22:50.370 --> 0:22:51.571
his business down.

0:22:52.052 --> 0:22:55.195
Then the judge later changed that ruling

0:22:55.855 --> 0:22:57.115
which knowing don trump

0:22:57.155 --> 0:22:57.895
probably was going to sue

0:22:57.915 --> 0:22:58.856
him for that ruling if he

0:22:58.876 --> 0:22:59.756
didn't change to go to the

0:22:59.796 --> 0:23:01.596
bar association because

0:23:01.676 --> 0:23:02.996
it's probably a case that's

0:23:03.036 --> 0:23:04.177
comparable to that that

0:23:04.197 --> 0:23:05.617
they didn't completely shut

0:23:05.637 --> 0:23:06.777
the business down because

0:23:06.837 --> 0:23:10.838
of that but anyway uh he he

0:23:11.058 --> 0:23:13.499
he he turned around and

0:23:13.839 --> 0:23:15.299
gave them the business back

0:23:15.619 --> 0:23:17.159
but the business has to be

0:23:17.219 --> 0:23:19.800
supervised for the next three years

0:23:21.403 --> 0:23:22.964
So the judge still allowing

0:23:22.984 --> 0:23:23.785
them to make money.

0:23:23.905 --> 0:23:26.707
So that's just rich people game.

0:23:28.708 --> 0:23:30.269
And then generally any

0:23:30.849 --> 0:23:34.632
judgment that a judge comes down,

0:23:34.732 --> 0:23:36.933
any type of judgment that a judge renders,

0:23:38.374 --> 0:23:39.415
they can always appeal it.

0:23:40.803 --> 0:23:42.464
you know and that's usually

0:23:42.484 --> 0:23:43.644
what they do just appealing

0:23:43.704 --> 0:23:45.244
and that appeal can take

0:23:45.304 --> 0:23:46.945
anywhere for from a few

0:23:47.005 --> 0:23:49.026
months to a few years you

0:23:49.066 --> 0:23:49.886
know and I guess when it's

0:23:49.946 --> 0:23:51.066
in the appeals process he

0:23:51.086 --> 0:23:51.906
don't have to worry about

0:23:52.106 --> 0:23:53.327
making any type of payments

0:23:53.407 --> 0:23:55.467
or anything right well I

0:23:55.508 --> 0:23:56.748
guess it really depends on

0:23:56.828 --> 0:23:58.508
the the how much he's

0:23:58.528 --> 0:23:59.949
supposed to pay what part

0:23:59.989 --> 0:24:00.829
of the judgment he's

0:24:00.889 --> 0:24:02.650
appealing now you talking about fine

0:24:04.051 --> 0:24:05.011
But just in general,

0:24:05.091 --> 0:24:06.052
I'm just speaking in general,

0:24:06.112 --> 0:24:08.213
anytime there's like a judgment like that,

0:24:08.633 --> 0:24:10.634
they can appeal it, you know,

0:24:11.114 --> 0:24:12.755
and pretty much delay it.

0:24:13.575 --> 0:24:13.916
You know,

0:24:14.196 --> 0:24:15.756
have it have it delayed for

0:24:15.896 --> 0:24:17.877
anywhere from months out to years.

0:24:18.378 --> 0:24:19.838
Now, I know in some cases,

0:24:19.978 --> 0:24:21.879
I think even in this case

0:24:21.899 --> 0:24:23.080
with Trump and the lawsuit

0:24:23.100 --> 0:24:23.960
that he had for that $5

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:25.641
million to that lady.

0:24:28.603 --> 0:24:30.105
Even though I don't think he

0:24:30.165 --> 0:24:31.847
has paid it out or he's appealed it,

0:24:32.207 --> 0:24:33.268
he still had to put the

0:24:33.388 --> 0:24:36.552
money into an account

0:24:37.112 --> 0:24:39.895
that's monitored by the courts.

0:24:40.816 --> 0:24:42.598
It's a court-monitored account.

0:24:42.678 --> 0:24:44.319
So he still had to put $5 million,

0:24:44.360 --> 0:24:45.741
which they say he's already done,

0:24:46.261 --> 0:24:48.223
put that $5 million in that account.

0:24:48.864 --> 0:24:50.265
so I i guess it depends on

0:24:50.345 --> 0:24:51.505
certain judgments even

0:24:51.525 --> 0:24:52.286
though you're in appeals

0:24:52.346 --> 0:24:54.147
process you may still have

0:24:54.167 --> 0:24:55.407
to set aside a certain

0:24:55.467 --> 0:24:57.708
amount of funds while

0:24:57.728 --> 0:24:59.890
you're in that appeal I

0:24:59.910 --> 0:25:01.510
would say this here so if

0:25:01.570 --> 0:25:03.912
the pill delayed he he

0:25:03.932 --> 0:25:05.752
definitely will be able to

0:25:05.812 --> 0:25:08.094
weaponize that until after

0:25:08.114 --> 0:25:09.174
the election it's going to

0:25:09.194 --> 0:25:10.395
be a big roll of the dice

0:25:10.435 --> 0:25:11.175
for him because they're

0:25:11.195 --> 0:25:12.336
going to try everything

0:25:12.356 --> 0:25:13.536
they can to keep him out of

0:25:13.636 --> 0:25:16.618
office because if he gets into office

0:25:17.723 --> 0:25:18.784
You're probably not going to

0:25:18.844 --> 0:25:20.065
see much of me because I'm

0:25:20.085 --> 0:25:21.746
going to be locked in on the TV.

0:25:22.246 --> 0:25:24.267
The news is going to be very entertaining.

0:25:24.748 --> 0:25:25.888
They're not going to be able

0:25:25.908 --> 0:25:26.829
to not show him.

0:25:27.229 --> 0:25:28.550
It's going to be some payback.

0:25:29.150 --> 0:25:34.654
They're going to be calling everybody out.

0:25:34.734 --> 0:25:37.035
Trump ain't going to get hit.

0:25:37.436 --> 0:25:39.197
Trump ain't going to just call them out.

0:25:39.477 --> 0:25:41.638
He's going to reach back in

0:25:41.678 --> 0:25:42.919
the back of the crowd.

0:25:43.340 --> 0:25:44.340
If they stand in my house,

0:25:44.360 --> 0:25:46.221
I'm going to grab by the collar and say,

0:25:46.261 --> 0:25:46.742
come here, you.

0:25:47.383 --> 0:25:48.608
yeah you didn't think I was

0:25:48.648 --> 0:25:50.736
gonna be in office yeah I

0:25:50.796 --> 0:25:51.640
ain't forgot about it

0:25:54.977 --> 0:25:58.438
obviously you use them old

0:25:58.478 --> 0:25:59.919
people old people uh

0:25:59.979 --> 0:26:00.999
language rich back you're

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:03.059
rich back there yeah you go

0:26:03.140 --> 0:26:04.760
rich back there yes sir

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:07.161
yeah uh uh so they might

0:26:07.201 --> 0:26:08.161
want to get ready for that

0:26:08.181 --> 0:26:10.702
right there uh in in and

0:26:11.002 --> 0:26:12.442
remember these faces now

0:26:12.842 --> 0:26:13.842
because a lot of these

0:26:13.902 --> 0:26:15.283
faces that you see these

0:26:15.383 --> 0:26:18.724
da's the uh judges

0:26:19.564 --> 0:26:20.365
some of the politicians

0:26:20.385 --> 0:26:21.425
you're gonna see them same

0:26:21.486 --> 0:26:22.646
faces up there that white

0:26:22.686 --> 0:26:24.528
house kissing his butt just

0:26:24.568 --> 0:26:27.070
like last time just like

0:26:27.150 --> 0:26:28.531
last time and he gonna make

0:26:28.551 --> 0:26:30.012
him feel it but this time

0:26:31.113 --> 0:26:32.774
unless he plan on passing

0:26:32.854 --> 0:26:33.895
away before he come out of

0:26:34.035 --> 0:26:36.457
office this time he ain't

0:26:36.477 --> 0:26:38.018
gonna leave no stone unturned

0:26:40.257 --> 0:26:41.397
You know what I'm saying?

0:26:41.417 --> 0:26:43.998
This time, you know what I'm saying?

0:26:44.098 --> 0:26:45.959
We all see how busy he was

0:26:46.019 --> 0:26:47.159
last time he was in office.

0:26:47.539 --> 0:26:49.540
We didn't think he was doing anything.

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:51.080
See, well, really and truly,

0:26:51.120 --> 0:26:52.741
that statement was misinterpreted.

0:26:53.361 --> 0:26:54.741
He wasn't doing anything

0:26:54.961 --> 0:26:55.701
according to the

0:26:55.781 --> 0:26:57.562
traditional political way.

0:26:58.426 --> 0:27:01.689
but he was always working he

0:27:01.749 --> 0:27:02.970
never did stop working

0:27:03.010 --> 0:27:03.990
that's why they said they

0:27:04.051 --> 0:27:05.452
you know I saw one report

0:27:05.472 --> 0:27:06.653
they said don't trouble

0:27:06.693 --> 0:27:07.894
walk through you know that

0:27:07.914 --> 0:27:08.814
he walks through the White

0:27:08.854 --> 0:27:10.235
House at night like a ghost

0:27:11.136 --> 0:27:12.737
up all night long mine

0:27:12.837 --> 0:27:14.078
always constantly running

0:27:14.679 --> 0:27:15.760
trying to figure out you

0:27:15.780 --> 0:27:16.360
know what I'm saying who

0:27:16.380 --> 0:27:17.581
I'm gonna get next what I'm

0:27:17.601 --> 0:27:20.083
gonna get next you know I

0:27:20.403 --> 0:27:22.245
ain't mad at that long as he shared

0:27:23.955 --> 0:27:25.336
Long as he shares it.

0:27:25.737 --> 0:27:27.979
Long as he shares it.

0:27:27.999 --> 0:27:29.601
Just like he did the SBAs

0:27:29.641 --> 0:27:32.323
and the PPPs and the stimulus.

0:27:32.704 --> 0:27:33.344
You know what I'm saying?

0:27:33.885 --> 0:27:35.086
Go ahead and get yours

0:27:35.126 --> 0:27:36.067
because a lot of them been

0:27:36.087 --> 0:27:36.888
getting theirs and they

0:27:36.908 --> 0:27:37.648
ain't been sharing.

0:27:39.070 --> 0:27:39.410
Right.

0:27:40.071 --> 0:27:41.712
So if you're going to get yours and share,

0:27:42.013 --> 0:27:42.954
I ain't got no problem with

0:27:42.974 --> 0:27:44.235
you opening up the package.

0:27:45.570 --> 0:27:51.291
just pulled me some my hand

0:27:52.331 --> 0:27:53.792
as you you know I'm I'm

0:27:53.832 --> 0:27:54.992
pretty sure while while he

0:27:55.092 --> 0:27:56.472
added I'm pretty sure a lot

0:27:56.512 --> 0:28:00.433
of people would uh be happy

0:28:00.693 --> 0:28:01.794
if if they decided to

0:28:01.854 --> 0:28:04.914
forgive the sba loans uh to

0:28:04.934 --> 0:28:07.755
forgive the ppp loan and

0:28:07.815 --> 0:28:09.115
pretty much to forgive uh

0:28:09.195 --> 0:28:12.556
like a student loan you know like uh

0:28:13.056 --> 0:28:14.597
the student loan debt and

0:28:14.657 --> 0:28:16.337

0:28:25.620 --> 0:28:26.641
loans and continue the

0:28:26.681 --> 0:28:28.301
stimulus this is going to

0:28:28.321 --> 0:28:30.102
be a flat out blowout

0:28:30.182 --> 0:28:31.523
during the election oh yeah

0:28:31.763 --> 0:28:33.103
this is going to be like

0:28:33.103 --> 0:28:34.564
120 million to 5 million uh-huh

0:28:40.090 --> 0:28:42.031
oh yeah it people wouldn't

0:28:42.051 --> 0:28:42.851
even think about it they're

0:28:42.871 --> 0:28:43.791
just gonna go ahead I'm

0:28:43.811 --> 0:28:48.233
voting republicans I don't

0:28:48.273 --> 0:28:49.333
even think they'll say it

0:28:49.373 --> 0:28:51.134
like that trump trump

0:28:51.234 --> 0:28:52.474
really to be honest with

0:28:52.514 --> 0:28:55.035
you trump just using the

0:28:55.095 --> 0:28:56.416
republican party as a

0:28:56.496 --> 0:28:58.116
vessel to get into the

0:28:58.176 --> 0:28:59.197
election because he don't

0:28:59.237 --> 0:29:00.257
want to run independent but

0:29:00.317 --> 0:29:02.158
really it truly as he

0:29:02.198 --> 0:29:03.978
showed last time he was in

0:29:04.038 --> 0:29:05.699
office he's really his own party

0:29:06.793 --> 0:29:08.154
yeah he's his own man that's

0:29:08.194 --> 0:29:10.134
for sure yeah yeah you know

0:29:10.335 --> 0:29:13.436
I mean he it's just you

0:29:13.456 --> 0:29:17.678
know but uh yeah trump man

0:29:17.698 --> 0:29:18.878
you know he's a bad boy to

0:29:18.978 --> 0:29:20.799
me you know like you know

0:29:20.999 --> 0:29:22.220
in in terms of that but

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:24.341
like I say I'm I'm talking

0:29:24.381 --> 0:29:27.722
about voting in your entry exactly

0:29:28.389 --> 0:29:29.749
You know, I mean,

0:29:30.049 --> 0:29:31.009
don't get caught up in this

0:29:31.049 --> 0:29:32.430
DNR and you sitting up

0:29:32.470 --> 0:29:34.690
there with $1,200 a month

0:29:34.790 --> 0:29:36.810
rent in a one-bedroom apartment.

0:29:37.130 --> 0:29:38.191
And you talking about, hey,

0:29:38.251 --> 0:29:39.211
vote for the Republic.

0:29:39.251 --> 0:29:40.291
You better vote for who's

0:29:40.311 --> 0:29:41.451
gonna lower that rent.

0:29:41.951 --> 0:29:42.851
At the end of the day,

0:29:42.891 --> 0:29:44.352
that's all that matters.

0:29:44.792 --> 0:29:47.652
You know, trying to be loyal to something,

0:29:48.352 --> 0:29:50.093
you know, that's not benefiting you.

0:29:50.333 --> 0:29:50.533
I mean,

0:29:50.553 --> 0:29:51.673
where's that gonna get you in life?

0:29:52.653 --> 0:29:53.493
Right, right.

0:29:53.593 --> 0:29:56.014
And stop the loyalty stuff

0:29:56.034 --> 0:29:56.774
with your votes.

0:29:57.054 --> 0:29:57.934
Please stop that.

0:29:58.679 --> 0:29:59.941
You know, I mean,

0:30:00.122 --> 0:30:01.124
you got to think about

0:30:01.244 --> 0:30:03.027
every time we vote a president in office,

0:30:03.468 --> 0:30:05.812
we got four years of that administration.

0:30:06.333 --> 0:30:07.656
If they're not doing what

0:30:07.676 --> 0:30:08.538
they're supposed to do,

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:11.981
That's, I mean, that's a long time.

0:30:12.001 --> 0:30:14.203
I mean, like, look at this time around.

0:30:14.823 --> 0:30:15.964
Biden had people, well,

0:30:16.104 --> 0:30:17.605
I ain't going to say Biden

0:30:17.645 --> 0:30:18.466
had people fooled.

0:30:18.786 --> 0:30:19.486
A lot of people,

0:30:19.546 --> 0:30:21.088
they have such a disdain

0:30:21.108 --> 0:30:21.808
for whether they want to

0:30:21.848 --> 0:30:23.549
vote for Democrat or Republican.

0:30:23.870 --> 0:30:25.931
We talked to a guy, you know,

0:30:25.951 --> 0:30:27.112
a guy that's a friend of ours.

0:30:27.132 --> 0:30:28.072
He's a truck driver.

0:30:28.653 --> 0:30:32.055
And that man said, Biden,

0:30:32.415 --> 0:30:34.317
the one started the PPP loan.

0:30:35.496 --> 0:30:37.457
And look, he had me and you confused.

0:30:37.477 --> 0:30:39.538
Look, we had to go to Google.

0:30:39.558 --> 0:30:40.779
We were like, wait a minute.

0:30:40.819 --> 0:30:42.299
Because I kept saying, oh,

0:30:42.339 --> 0:30:43.980
I said he extended it.

0:30:44.681 --> 0:30:46.261
Oh, he was adamant about that, too.

0:30:46.321 --> 0:30:46.702
Yeah.

0:30:46.962 --> 0:30:48.542
Yeah, man, he was adamant about that.

0:30:48.602 --> 0:30:49.543
He said, buy this.

0:30:49.924 --> 0:30:52.705
the one got the PPP loans

0:30:52.785 --> 0:30:53.966
and the stimulus checking.

0:30:54.506 --> 0:30:55.226
I said, wait a minute,

0:30:55.246 --> 0:30:56.747
I know time going by fast,

0:30:56.787 --> 0:30:59.308
but I ain't lost my mind like that now.

0:30:59.428 --> 0:30:59.648
I mean,

0:30:59.668 --> 0:31:01.468
I know I got like a little case of

0:31:01.528 --> 0:31:03.189
ADHD or whatever, you know,

0:31:03.249 --> 0:31:05.090
I think we all got it at some point,

0:31:05.130 --> 0:31:07.031
but no, no, no, you know?

0:31:07.171 --> 0:31:07.391
So,

0:31:08.031 --> 0:31:11.052
but when we ended up Googling it and

0:31:11.352 --> 0:31:12.593
kind of proving it to him,

0:31:13.253 --> 0:31:15.174
I could tell he still didn't believe us.

0:31:15.214 --> 0:31:15.354
So,

0:31:16.114 --> 0:31:18.097
Don't allow yourself to get

0:31:18.157 --> 0:31:20.139
brainwashed by the D and

0:31:20.159 --> 0:31:22.422
the R. Voting your best interest.

0:31:22.482 --> 0:31:23.883
This thing that's going on

0:31:24.504 --> 0:31:26.026
with President Trump,

0:31:26.306 --> 0:31:26.827
that should be an

0:31:26.847 --> 0:31:29.791
eye-opener for us all in

0:31:29.851 --> 0:31:32.994
terms of the type of games

0:31:33.034 --> 0:31:34.656
that's being played on both sides.

0:31:35.665 --> 0:31:37.686
when they uh because they in

0:31:37.726 --> 0:31:39.387
position of power they can

0:31:39.427 --> 0:31:41.268
abuse the justice system

0:31:41.928 --> 0:31:44.209
and in the laws to you know

0:31:45.030 --> 0:31:46.351
pretty much what we would

0:31:46.391 --> 0:31:47.491
do if we got a problem with

0:31:47.531 --> 0:31:48.452
our neighbor we would just

0:31:48.492 --> 0:31:49.312
go over there and confront

0:31:49.332 --> 0:31:50.613
them face to face like hey

0:31:51.073 --> 0:31:52.253
why is this here blah blah

0:31:52.273 --> 0:31:55.595
blah or whatever but with

0:31:55.635 --> 0:31:57.476
these people they're using

0:31:57.636 --> 0:31:59.777
our tax dollars to fight

0:31:59.797 --> 0:32:01.878
their battle and that's not

0:32:01.938 --> 0:32:03.379
cool especially with

0:32:03.459 --> 0:32:04.840
everything that's going on now

0:32:05.943 --> 0:32:09.186
mm-hmm and so which is all

0:32:09.226 --> 0:32:10.687
the more reason for people

0:32:11.208 --> 0:32:12.749
if you're a democrat don't

0:32:12.789 --> 0:32:14.210
just vote democrat all the

0:32:14.251 --> 0:32:15.652
way down vice versa if

0:32:15.672 --> 0:32:16.693
you're republican it just

0:32:16.993 --> 0:32:19.075
all goes down to regardless

0:32:19.095 --> 0:32:19.795
of your political

0:32:19.815 --> 0:32:21.757
affiliation green party uh

0:32:23.419 --> 0:32:25.240
uh independent who

0:32:26.779 --> 0:32:28.361
aligns with your views

0:32:28.642 --> 0:32:29.643
that's what it boils down

0:32:29.683 --> 0:32:33.509
to right right well well

0:32:33.529 --> 0:32:34.910
look that's enough of trump

0:32:34.951 --> 0:32:37.374
look next we gonna uh talk

0:32:37.414 --> 0:32:39.597
about uh this interview we

0:32:39.617 --> 0:32:40.959
did with a driver you know

0:32:40.999 --> 0:32:42.301
we ran across this driver

0:32:42.661 --> 0:32:43.621
he did an interview we was

0:32:43.662 --> 0:32:44.882
just curious about what was

0:32:44.942 --> 0:32:46.183
going on in the trucking

0:32:46.283 --> 0:32:48.584
industry uh for some of the

0:32:48.604 --> 0:32:50.224
guys that came in it well

0:32:50.444 --> 0:32:51.625
luckily we found out he

0:32:51.725 --> 0:32:53.546
just came into the industry

0:32:53.966 --> 0:32:56.087
so he's fairly new so we've

0:32:56.127 --> 0:32:57.347
been reporting on guys

0:32:57.367 --> 0:32:58.308
that's going out of

0:32:58.368 --> 0:33:00.089
business because they got

0:33:00.149 --> 0:33:01.289
caught up in the pandemic

0:33:01.329 --> 0:33:02.470
prices when they came into

0:33:02.490 --> 0:33:04.490
the industry meaning that

0:33:05.451 --> 0:33:06.611
trucks that was normally

0:33:06.671 --> 0:33:08.132
forty five thousand dollars

0:33:08.172 --> 0:33:09.833
they had went up toward eighty

0:33:09.833 --> 0:33:12.580
$90,000 trucks that they

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:14.681
were paying for as well as

0:33:14.741 --> 0:33:15.722
the trailers too.

0:33:16.303 --> 0:33:19.025
So, um, we just, you know,

0:33:19.305 --> 0:33:21.327
ran across this driver and luckily he was,

0:33:21.407 --> 0:33:22.608
he was new to the industry.

0:33:22.628 --> 0:33:24.990
So we got a chance to get a, uh,

0:33:25.090 --> 0:33:26.091
his point of view of what

0:33:26.111 --> 0:33:27.412
the industry was doing for

0:33:27.452 --> 0:33:29.895
him in terms of, uh,

0:33:30.015 --> 0:33:31.596
how he's operating in the

0:33:31.656 --> 0:33:32.717
lease purchase program.

0:33:32.737 --> 0:33:33.898
So we're going to run a clip here,

0:33:34.358 --> 0:33:34.639
you know,

0:33:34.659 --> 0:33:36.100
on this interview and then give

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:37.481
a little commentary behind it.

0:33:38.182 --> 0:33:38.422
All right.

0:33:38.935 --> 0:33:42.096
and uh so uh with everything

0:33:42.316 --> 0:33:43.836
that's been going on and

0:33:43.896 --> 0:33:44.976
how you run because you're

0:33:44.996 --> 0:33:47.077
running flatbed yeah so uh

0:33:47.397 --> 0:33:49.177
for uh any of the drivers

0:33:49.257 --> 0:33:50.898
is that blair are they kind

0:33:50.938 --> 0:33:51.878
of complaining are they

0:33:51.918 --> 0:33:53.098
satisfied with with their

0:33:53.138 --> 0:33:54.119
lease purchase program and

0:33:54.139 --> 0:33:55.059
how things going for them

0:33:55.479 --> 0:33:57.139
you got some satisfied and

0:33:57.159 --> 0:33:59.440
you got some not but like

0:33:59.940 --> 0:34:01.320
for my situation this is

0:34:01.380 --> 0:34:02.521
all depending on the driver

0:34:02.561 --> 0:34:04.201
man a lot of drivers

0:34:05.913 --> 0:34:06.954
You got to make plans when

0:34:06.974 --> 0:34:07.834
you do your loads.

0:34:08.475 --> 0:34:09.155
And some of them probably

0:34:09.175 --> 0:34:09.995
don't make plans.

0:34:10.035 --> 0:34:11.276
Some of them might jack around,

0:34:11.296 --> 0:34:12.397
truck stop.

0:34:13.898 --> 0:34:15.238
It's all on the operator, man.

0:34:15.258 --> 0:34:16.959
But why look at it, man?

0:34:16.979 --> 0:34:17.600
As long as you run,

0:34:17.620 --> 0:34:18.820
get the loads down on time,

0:34:19.441 --> 0:34:20.601
you mostly run pretty good with them.

0:34:20.621 --> 0:34:28.005
I'll mute your mic.

0:34:29.526 --> 0:34:32.148
I got you.

0:34:32.748 --> 0:34:34.289
I'll mute your mic, please.

0:34:36.537 --> 0:34:37.878
Okay, you just said you got me.

0:34:38.578 --> 0:34:39.218
Yeah, I did.

0:34:39.258 --> 0:34:40.219
I tried to push it in and it

0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:40.919
said it wouldn't do it.

0:34:41.499 --> 0:34:42.940
Yeah.

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:43.520
But basically,

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:45.161
that's the way it always

0:34:45.201 --> 0:34:46.341
have been in trucking.

0:34:46.681 --> 0:34:48.122
You always want to utilize

0:34:48.142 --> 0:34:49.582
the five Ps in trucking.

0:34:49.642 --> 0:34:52.524
Prior planning prevents poor performance.

0:34:53.264 --> 0:34:56.465
But it's different now

0:34:57.346 --> 0:34:59.046
because the guys who got

0:34:59.146 --> 0:35:01.027
caught up in the whirlwind

0:35:01.627 --> 0:35:02.828
of the pandemic who paid

0:35:02.848 --> 0:35:05.129
those pandemic prices for equipment,

0:35:06.358 --> 0:35:11.120
That doesn't fly in those guys' situation.

0:35:11.140 --> 0:35:11.954
You know, you paying $3,200, $2,800,

0:35:11.954 --> 0:35:12.960
$3,200 a month on a truck

0:35:12.980 --> 0:35:14.041
that's three and four years old.

0:35:23.162 --> 0:35:25.323
i mean it's gonna be kind of

0:35:25.363 --> 0:35:26.203
hard you know with

0:35:26.263 --> 0:35:27.263
maintenance because the way

0:35:27.303 --> 0:35:28.603
they designing these trucks

0:35:28.683 --> 0:35:30.684
now these trucks and I paid

0:35:30.744 --> 0:35:31.864
attention to it it seemed

0:35:31.884 --> 0:35:34.045
like at a certain mileage

0:35:34.225 --> 0:35:35.885
they start having certain

0:35:36.225 --> 0:35:39.046
issues that's going to cost

0:35:39.066 --> 0:35:40.386
you money and if you're not

0:35:40.426 --> 0:35:41.687
making money on the rates

0:35:41.847 --> 0:35:43.267
if if you bought that truck

0:35:43.287 --> 0:35:44.247
during the pandemic when

0:35:44.267 --> 0:35:45.768
the average rate was 450 to

0:35:45.888 --> 0:35:47.108
five dollars a mile

0:35:48.051 --> 0:35:49.552
now we living in a market

0:35:50.013 --> 0:35:51.694
where average rate probably

0:35:51.714 --> 0:35:54.816
a dollar 85 cent a mile is

0:35:55.897 --> 0:35:57.458
that's it's kind of hard to

0:35:57.478 --> 0:35:58.699
say that's doable gene what

0:35:58.739 --> 0:36:01.201
you think yeah it is hard

0:36:01.221 --> 0:36:02.341
to say it's doable because

0:36:02.381 --> 0:36:04.203
a lot of those people who

0:36:04.303 --> 0:36:05.143
went out and got those

0:36:05.223 --> 0:36:07.105
trucks not only did they go

0:36:07.145 --> 0:36:08.166
and go out and get you

0:36:08.966 --> 0:36:10.557
trucks that were traditionally $150,000,

0:36:10.557 --> 0:36:11.067
$170,000 pre-pandemic,

0:36:11.087 --> 0:36:11.767
those trucks went up to

0:36:11.807 --> 0:36:13.168
anywhere from $200,000 to

0:36:13.168 --> 0:36:13.708
$225,000 after the pandemic.

0:36:13.728 --> 0:36:14.088
And so now,

0:36:14.108 --> 0:36:15.009
instead of you having maybe a

0:36:15.009 --> 0:36:15.569
$2,500 to $3,000, like you said,

0:36:15.589 --> 0:36:16.109
a month truck payment,

0:36:16.669 --> 0:36:17.800
those truck payments went up to $3,500,

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:18.350
$4,000 a month.

0:36:36.863 --> 0:36:38.264
And now not only do you have

0:36:38.344 --> 0:36:39.325
that truck payment,

0:36:40.206 --> 0:36:41.106
a lot of people went out

0:36:41.146 --> 0:36:43.088
and upgraded their lifestyle.

0:36:43.368 --> 0:36:44.709
A lot of people went out and

0:36:45.669 --> 0:36:46.970
bought bigger homes or

0:36:47.030 --> 0:36:48.351
built homes from the ground up.

0:36:48.531 --> 0:36:50.513
A lot of people went out and

0:36:50.593 --> 0:36:51.774
did vacation that they

0:36:51.854 --> 0:36:52.994
probably couldn't afford.

0:36:53.695 --> 0:36:55.756
And so a lot of stuff changed for people.

0:36:56.277 --> 0:36:58.598
And so now that the rates

0:36:58.658 --> 0:37:01.480
have dropped down to where they are now,

0:37:01.681 --> 0:37:03.482
like you said, about $1.80 or so,

0:37:04.002 --> 0:37:05.123
they can't afford that anymore.

0:37:06.264 --> 0:37:09.868
right right and yeah it was

0:37:09.908 --> 0:37:11.549
some upgrading we saw it on

0:37:11.629 --> 0:37:15.513
facebook man we saw people

0:37:15.553 --> 0:37:17.155
man it was taking vacation

0:37:17.215 --> 0:37:18.536
they had their own shelves

0:37:19.937 --> 0:37:21.399
oh man I ain't saying

0:37:21.459 --> 0:37:24.802
anyone yeah they had leased

0:37:25.323 --> 0:37:28.746
sports cars like bugattis and stuff man i

0:37:32.902 --> 0:37:34.583
you know I you know like I

0:37:34.603 --> 0:37:36.583
said to me it was crazy to

0:37:36.624 --> 0:37:38.644
me when the pandemic hit to

0:37:38.704 --> 0:37:40.305
me I went into money saving

0:37:40.325 --> 0:37:44.486
mode you know I i just felt

0:37:44.626 --> 0:37:48.247
it because of and I know

0:37:48.727 --> 0:37:51.128
megan educated you know

0:37:51.148 --> 0:37:52.788
like in my uh associate's

0:37:52.828 --> 0:37:54.069
degree in business had a

0:37:54.169 --> 0:37:56.630
lot to do with that along

0:37:56.670 --> 0:37:58.010
with how my mama raised me

0:37:59.590 --> 0:38:01.512
So when the pandemic happened,

0:38:02.172 --> 0:38:03.853
and then by talking to guys like you,

0:38:04.013 --> 0:38:05.214
I knew that wasn't normal.

0:38:05.815 --> 0:38:07.936
I knew with the history of this country,

0:38:08.797 --> 0:38:10.118
that was not going to last.

0:38:10.758 --> 0:38:11.879
Wasn't going to last at all.

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:15.241
So when we was bringing in

0:38:15.302 --> 0:38:16.342
the amount of money that we

0:38:16.382 --> 0:38:18.564
was bringing in, I was saving mine.

0:38:18.584 --> 0:38:20.205
I mean, you know,

0:38:20.705 --> 0:38:22.587
that's why I was able to take a year off.

0:38:23.628 --> 0:38:24.688
But I didn't take my year

0:38:24.808 --> 0:38:26.970
off touring the world either.

0:38:26.990 --> 0:38:28.331
Mm-hmm.

0:38:28.975 --> 0:38:30.477
I took my year off relaxing,

0:38:30.497 --> 0:38:31.958
trying to get some blood pressure down.

0:38:33.139 --> 0:38:35.742
Because I had worked five

0:38:35.802 --> 0:38:36.462
years straight 24-7.

0:38:38.221 --> 0:38:40.742
yeah hey what did I call you

0:38:41.082 --> 0:38:41.882
I i thought you were a

0:38:41.902 --> 0:38:46.403
robot yeah yeah man I

0:38:46.443 --> 0:38:49.284
worked my ass off man and I

0:38:49.324 --> 0:38:50.685
felt like I deserved to sit

0:38:50.745 --> 0:38:52.065
on my ass for at least a

0:38:52.165 --> 0:38:54.626
year you know because you

0:38:54.666 --> 0:38:57.707
know my exit was was timely

0:38:57.767 --> 0:39:00.207
anyway because the man the

0:39:00.247 --> 0:39:01.788
race had just hit the dumps

0:39:02.535 --> 0:39:03.495
You know just really

0:39:04.236 --> 0:39:05.797
wouldn't work the Indian

0:39:05.817 --> 0:39:06.877
you trying to convince your

0:39:06.997 --> 0:39:09.318
own operators that these

0:39:09.398 --> 0:39:11.039
are the rates now you know

0:39:11.179 --> 0:39:13.120
it's nothing I could do about it,

0:39:13.180 --> 0:39:13.520
you know.

0:39:14.301 --> 0:39:15.201
We didn't have a lot of

0:39:15.221 --> 0:39:16.382
people into the industry

0:39:16.402 --> 0:39:17.723
and they taking these rates,

0:39:17.783 --> 0:39:19.123
you know we got shippers

0:39:19.964 --> 0:39:21.404
are coming up with their

0:39:21.524 --> 0:39:22.665
own brokerages in.

0:39:23.147 --> 0:39:25.008
and and and they're buying

0:39:25.048 --> 0:39:25.909
more equipment like

0:39:26.029 --> 0:39:28.111
trailers to to do power

0:39:28.291 --> 0:39:29.632
only only so they could cut

0:39:29.672 --> 0:39:30.953
the rate I mean look at the

0:39:30.993 --> 0:39:32.314
spreadsheet that we had got

0:39:32.334 --> 0:39:34.275
from a broker today you

0:39:34.315 --> 0:39:37.137
know uh asking for a bid

0:39:37.337 --> 0:39:38.778
but already had a target

0:39:38.818 --> 0:39:40.560
rate in there and every

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:43.062
last rate in there was

0:39:43.102 --> 0:39:44.583
around a dollar sixty to a

0:39:44.623 --> 0:39:46.664
dollar seventy cent a mile on average

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:50.024
which the rates that they

0:39:50.084 --> 0:39:51.949
were trying to get as

0:39:52.009 --> 0:39:53.934
target rates were rates

0:39:54.194 --> 0:39:55.097
that would have been

0:39:55.558 --> 0:39:57.563
backhaul rates in those lanes.

0:39:58.916 --> 0:40:00.057
I just don't believe in that

0:40:00.157 --> 0:40:01.098
backhaul term.

0:40:01.118 --> 0:40:02.018
I get what you're saying,

0:40:02.098 --> 0:40:05.060
but all I'm saying... But I

0:40:05.080 --> 0:40:06.581
know brokers go by that, though.

0:40:06.941 --> 0:40:07.262
Yeah.

0:40:08.042 --> 0:40:08.903
I'm just saying, you know,

0:40:09.063 --> 0:40:10.084
like one of the lanes that

0:40:10.304 --> 0:40:11.064
we were looking at.

0:40:11.084 --> 0:40:12.825
Remember, I was talking about that lane.

0:40:12.845 --> 0:40:13.466
The Texas lane.

0:40:13.986 --> 0:40:14.967
Yeah, the Texas lane.

0:40:15.207 --> 0:40:17.769
The Fort Worth to Memphis.

0:40:18.249 --> 0:40:20.050
The Fort Worth to Memphis.

0:40:20.530 --> 0:40:20.671
No,

0:40:20.771 --> 0:40:23.352
I saw one that was like Olive Branch to

0:40:24.233 --> 0:40:25.314
Dallas or Fort Worth.

0:40:29.755 --> 0:40:34.036
right and traditionally

0:40:34.096 --> 0:40:35.356
pre-pandemic you know

0:40:35.556 --> 0:40:36.976
traditionally that was

0:40:37.036 --> 0:40:38.137
pretty much the rate of

0:40:38.177 --> 0:40:40.417
drive-in rate at that from

0:40:40.457 --> 0:40:41.817
Fort Worth back to Memphis

0:40:42.197 --> 0:40:43.258
back to Memphis yeah

0:40:43.278 --> 0:40:44.518
because see that's why we

0:40:44.598 --> 0:40:46.158
used to always run into

0:40:46.198 --> 0:40:49.674
Texas because you can get 1800 to 2400

0:40:49.674 --> 0:40:51.074
running from Memphis to Texas.

0:40:51.595 --> 0:40:55.666
So you didn't mind taking the $800,

0:40:55.666 --> 0:40:56.716
$900 coming back,

0:40:56.756 --> 0:40:59.357
but shame on us because we

0:40:59.377 --> 0:41:00.597
should have been practicing

0:41:00.997 --> 0:41:02.257
what we're preaching now.

0:41:02.777 --> 0:41:04.798
Don't take no rates nowhere

0:41:04.858 --> 0:41:06.038
at a low rate like that

0:41:06.098 --> 0:41:08.219
because we didn't realize,

0:41:08.279 --> 0:41:09.119
I know I didn't,

0:41:09.499 --> 0:41:10.960
that we were hurting the

0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:12.680
guys who were in Texas.

0:41:13.662 --> 0:41:15.022
by taking them rates up out

0:41:15.082 --> 0:41:15.923
of them like that.

0:41:16.023 --> 0:41:16.323
You know,

0:41:16.343 --> 0:41:17.903
we got a guy now that we had did

0:41:17.923 --> 0:41:18.783
an interview with,

0:41:19.504 --> 0:41:20.764
go by the name of Top Dollar.

0:41:20.784 --> 0:41:22.824
You can follow him on Facebook.

0:41:24.385 --> 0:41:26.065
Again, his name is Top Dollar.

0:41:26.885 --> 0:41:28.746
And he lives in Texas.

0:41:28.806 --> 0:41:30.066
And he talks about how bad

0:41:30.106 --> 0:41:31.927
the local rates are versus

0:41:31.967 --> 0:41:33.687
what they used to get running from Dallas,

0:41:33.707 --> 0:41:35.448
Texas to Houston versus now.

0:41:35.788 --> 0:41:37.288
I think he says like around about what,

0:41:37.288 --> 0:41:37.438
300,

0:41:37.438 --> 0:41:39.069
350 they want to give now when they

0:41:39.129 --> 0:41:41.270
used to give 6 to 800.

0:41:41.270 --> 0:41:41.490
Right.

0:41:41.770 --> 0:41:42.731
I've ran that lane.

0:41:43.351 --> 0:41:44.332
Yeah, I've run that lane.

0:41:44.372 --> 0:41:46.993
They would give you at least about $800.

0:41:48.034 --> 0:41:48.774
You know,

0:41:48.834 --> 0:41:50.175
it's what they used to give you running.

0:41:50.215 --> 0:41:52.016
That's like 200 miles from

0:41:52.036 --> 0:41:53.457
Houston to Dallas.

0:41:53.577 --> 0:41:54.518
And so they used to give you

0:41:54.538 --> 0:41:56.519
at least $800 on a drive-in

0:41:56.959 --> 0:41:58.220
to run that back and forth.

0:41:59.188 --> 0:41:59.969
Right, you know,

0:42:00.249 --> 0:42:01.630
so like our fellow trucking

0:42:02.110 --> 0:42:03.211
brother that was staying,

0:42:03.611 --> 0:42:04.852
he had only been in it for

0:42:04.892 --> 0:42:05.913
about a year or so.

0:42:06.473 --> 0:42:08.274
I could see him being okay

0:42:08.294 --> 0:42:09.435
in the industry because

0:42:09.915 --> 0:42:11.076
even though he's leasing

0:42:11.136 --> 0:42:12.477
his truck through the company,

0:42:12.937 --> 0:42:14.378
he's leasing it at a rate

0:42:14.438 --> 0:42:15.799
that's not the same rate as

0:42:15.839 --> 0:42:17.140
the guys who start leasing

0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:17.960
their trucks during the

0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:19.742
pandemic or the guys who

0:42:20.382 --> 0:42:23.064
bought their trucks during the pandemic.

0:42:23.504 --> 0:42:25.265
So it's...

0:42:28.039 --> 0:42:28.639
In business,

0:42:28.659 --> 0:42:30.760
your money is made by your

0:42:30.860 --> 0:42:33.501
profitability outweighing your liability.

0:42:34.602 --> 0:42:37.303
So his liability is not

0:42:37.383 --> 0:42:38.003
outweighing his

0:42:38.043 --> 0:42:39.164
profitability because of

0:42:39.244 --> 0:42:41.705
his timing of entering the market.

0:42:42.165 --> 0:42:43.425
I just hate it for the guys

0:42:43.465 --> 0:42:44.906
who entered into the market

0:42:45.646 --> 0:42:47.267
during the pandemic times

0:42:47.387 --> 0:42:49.067
where rates were like very

0:42:49.148 --> 0:42:50.188
high on equipment.

0:42:50.610 --> 0:42:51.370
And then we had the

0:42:51.451 --> 0:42:52.471
government and a lot of

0:42:52.491 --> 0:42:53.652
these billionaires come in

0:42:53.692 --> 0:42:54.853
and just snatched the rug

0:42:54.913 --> 0:42:57.014
off from under them the way that they did,

0:42:57.074 --> 0:42:58.095
leaving them trapped,

0:42:58.615 --> 0:42:59.756
destroying their credit.

0:43:00.256 --> 0:43:01.016
Some of them didn't even

0:43:01.056 --> 0:43:02.377
come in with an LLC.

0:43:02.397 --> 0:43:04.238
They came in as a sole proprietor.

0:43:04.618 --> 0:43:07.240
So all of this stuff is on

0:43:07.300 --> 0:43:08.561
their personal credit,

0:43:08.941 --> 0:43:10.742
up against them personally.

0:43:11.022 --> 0:43:12.883
They don't have a shield

0:43:12.923 --> 0:43:15.685
like an LLC or S Corp or C

0:43:15.745 --> 0:43:17.706
Corp to hide behind from a

0:43:17.766 --> 0:43:18.967
lot of this liability

0:43:19.007 --> 0:43:20.228
that's coming after them now.

0:43:21.037 --> 0:43:21.358
Yeah.

0:43:22.761 --> 0:43:24.145
Yeah, that's true.

0:43:25.067 --> 0:43:26.892
I know that with...

0:43:30.249 --> 0:43:32.010
We were seeing that a lot of the rates,

0:43:32.150 --> 0:43:32.911
well, not the rates.

0:43:33.291 --> 0:43:34.311
We were seeing that a lot of

0:43:34.351 --> 0:43:36.333
the equipment that they were selling,

0:43:36.753 --> 0:43:37.833
pretty much anybody who

0:43:37.993 --> 0:43:39.014
owned a piece of equipment,

0:43:39.394 --> 0:43:40.215
truck or trailer,

0:43:40.875 --> 0:43:41.515
you could have owned

0:43:41.555 --> 0:43:42.816
something that was 20 years old.

0:43:43.276 --> 0:43:44.237
People were snatching it up.

0:43:44.757 --> 0:43:45.538
You could have put it on

0:43:45.578 --> 0:43:47.939
Facebook Marketplace and got it sold.

0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:50.641
You know, I was seeing guys who had,

0:43:51.201 --> 0:43:53.682
you know, 15 year old trucks.

0:43:54.903 --> 0:43:55.704
Traditionally,

0:43:55.724 --> 0:43:57.906
15-year-old truck would sell

0:43:57.906 --> 0:43:59.748
$12,000 to $15,000 cash,

0:43:59.788 --> 0:44:01.309
something like that.

0:44:01.329 --> 0:44:01.829
Hey,

0:44:01.870 --> 0:44:03.071
these guys were selling these trucks

0:44:03.071 --> 0:44:03.491
$30,000, you know, $25,000, $30,000.

0:44:03.491 --> 0:44:05.173
Traditionally, a 10,

0:44:05.173 --> 0:44:06.854
15-year-old trailer would

0:44:06.894 --> 0:44:08.285
sell anywhere from $10,000,

0:44:08.285 --> 0:44:09.977
$13,000 for like a drive-in trailer.

0:44:10.017 --> 0:44:11.819
They would sell them for $25,000, $30,000.

0:44:11.819 --> 0:44:12.960
Not air ride, spring ride.

0:44:22.617 --> 0:44:25.020
you know yeah and it was

0:44:25.060 --> 0:44:28.684
crazy you know so well you

0:44:28.724 --> 0:44:30.726
know you know like the lady

0:44:30.746 --> 0:44:31.787
that had called herself the

0:44:31.807 --> 0:44:33.389
trucking guru you know

0:44:33.409 --> 0:44:35.190
that's what she had said on

0:44:35.511 --> 0:44:36.612
um when she did the

0:44:36.732 --> 0:44:38.153
interview with jt pocket

0:44:38.194 --> 0:44:39.895
watcher uh you know she

0:44:39.955 --> 0:44:41.537
said uh anybody could do it

0:44:41.657 --> 0:44:42.378
all you gotta do is go to

0:44:42.398 --> 0:44:43.379
facebook marketplace

0:44:44.521 --> 0:44:45.482
you know she was saying

0:44:45.522 --> 0:44:46.422
that's where she was

0:44:46.462 --> 0:44:47.342
getting a lot of her

0:44:47.362 --> 0:44:49.364
equipment from when she was

0:44:49.484 --> 0:44:50.504
uh running at what they

0:44:50.544 --> 0:44:53.025
said was a scam uh that

0:44:53.065 --> 0:44:53.926
they said that she was

0:44:54.026 --> 0:44:55.767
running and uh that she

0:44:55.787 --> 0:44:57.648
supposedly got caught up in

0:44:58.148 --> 0:44:59.189
so yeah so you're

0:44:59.249 --> 0:45:00.669
absolutely correct you know

0:45:00.749 --> 0:45:02.630
they man they were all over

0:45:02.650 --> 0:45:03.771
the place see when I found

0:45:03.811 --> 0:45:05.692
my trucks I went on truck

0:45:05.752 --> 0:45:07.453
paper and I knew at the

0:45:07.513 --> 0:45:08.813
time you know those guys

0:45:08.853 --> 0:45:09.774
selling their trucks on

0:45:09.814 --> 0:45:11.715
craigslist facebook marketplace

0:45:12.115 --> 0:45:13.876
but not at the rate it was

0:45:13.956 --> 0:45:15.197
when post pandemic was

0:45:15.277 --> 0:45:18.058
sitting in man when the

0:45:18.098 --> 0:45:19.339
post pandemic started

0:45:19.379 --> 0:45:21.980
hitting all kind of

0:45:22.060 --> 0:45:23.381
equipment came up for sale

0:45:23.661 --> 0:45:24.842
and the only thing that I

0:45:24.922 --> 0:45:26.743
hate about that is that I

0:45:26.823 --> 0:45:29.184
wish that the ones who got

0:45:29.244 --> 0:45:31.065
into the industry that you

0:45:31.105 --> 0:45:32.046
know the amount of money

0:45:32.086 --> 0:45:33.226
that they was able to get a

0:45:33.286 --> 0:45:34.387
hold of I wish they had to

0:45:34.447 --> 0:45:35.848
pay their equipment off

0:45:36.648 --> 0:45:37.368
That way,

0:45:38.028 --> 0:45:39.469
they wouldn't have had to put

0:45:39.529 --> 0:45:40.849
their equipment back into

0:45:40.869 --> 0:45:43.309
the market so soon because, you know,

0:45:43.329 --> 0:45:43.990
if you notice,

0:45:44.750 --> 0:45:46.650
when post-pandemic started happening,

0:45:46.670 --> 0:45:49.291
well, when the pandemic was going on,

0:45:50.111 --> 0:45:51.731
all the trailer leasing companies,

0:45:52.871 --> 0:45:54.532
everybody, they didn't have nothing.

0:45:54.832 --> 0:45:57.472
You had dealerships were

0:45:57.492 --> 0:45:58.473
saying that the

0:45:58.513 --> 0:45:59.513
manufacturer's not even

0:45:59.553 --> 0:46:00.933
making any more trucks now.

0:46:01.233 --> 0:46:01.653
You know,

0:46:01.913 --> 0:46:03.374
just all kind of stuff they just

0:46:03.394 --> 0:46:04.834
had just came to a halt.

0:46:05.916 --> 0:46:07.558
When they pulled the rug off

0:46:07.578 --> 0:46:09.899
from under us and people

0:46:09.939 --> 0:46:10.980
started feeling it with

0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:12.581
them rates dropping and

0:46:12.601 --> 0:46:14.563
their liability was killing

0:46:14.583 --> 0:46:15.363
their profits.

0:46:16.264 --> 0:46:17.505
Man, next thing you know,

0:46:18.426 --> 0:46:21.368
they renting and leasing trailers now.

0:46:21.808 --> 0:46:22.769
You know what I'm saying?

0:46:22.969 --> 0:46:24.290
They got good looking trucks

0:46:24.350 --> 0:46:25.291
in the parking lot.

0:46:25.351 --> 0:46:25.851
So, you know,

0:46:26.211 --> 0:46:27.232
you can't help but to look at

0:46:27.272 --> 0:46:28.113
that and say, hey,

0:46:28.173 --> 0:46:29.434
this was all by design.

0:46:30.965 --> 0:46:32.026
Come on now, you know,

0:46:32.226 --> 0:46:33.686
I'm a mathematical person.

0:46:34.587 --> 0:46:37.308
I mean, to me, that's what it added up to.

0:46:37.909 --> 0:46:40.070
So I think it was by design

0:46:40.090 --> 0:46:41.090
that they did that because

0:46:41.110 --> 0:46:42.811
it was so many people left

0:46:42.851 --> 0:46:44.993
their perspective craft and

0:46:45.033 --> 0:46:46.834
came over into the trucking industry.

0:46:47.154 --> 0:46:48.074
And what they did to the

0:46:48.174 --> 0:46:51.536
economy equilibrium,

0:46:52.076 --> 0:46:53.217
they knocked it off balance.

0:46:54.214 --> 0:46:55.535
So they had to figure out a

0:46:55.575 --> 0:46:57.216
way to come up with a way

0:46:57.616 --> 0:46:59.717
to get the equilibrium back balanced.

0:47:00.377 --> 0:47:03.099
And guess who ended up hurting in it?

0:47:03.779 --> 0:47:05.480
The average people who votes

0:47:05.580 --> 0:47:07.121
politicians depend on,

0:47:08.062 --> 0:47:11.083
who billionaires and these

0:47:11.143 --> 0:47:12.884
big hedge fund companies

0:47:13.204 --> 0:47:14.665
depend on to invest their

0:47:14.745 --> 0:47:16.146
money into the stock market.

0:47:16.666 --> 0:47:16.966
Yeah.

0:47:17.567 --> 0:47:17.987
Same people.

0:47:18.347 --> 0:47:19.368
Same people did it.

0:47:19.428 --> 0:47:20.388
Same people we give our

0:47:20.448 --> 0:47:22.870
money and our votes to did that to us.

0:47:22.930 --> 0:47:23.670
That's what I believe.

0:47:24.791 --> 0:47:26.933
yeah that's pretty good

0:47:26.953 --> 0:47:29.796
synopsis I appreciate that

0:47:30.336 --> 0:47:33.599
yeah yeah I appreciate that

0:47:33.619 --> 0:47:35.021
but yeah you know man it's

0:47:35.061 --> 0:47:37.083
just that uh we just got to

0:47:37.143 --> 0:47:38.884
be aware of a lot of that

0:47:38.924 --> 0:47:40.406
you know we ain't gonna put

0:47:40.466 --> 0:47:42.548
a whole lot on that but see uh

0:47:43.144 --> 0:47:45.466
We also want to touch on

0:47:45.866 --> 0:47:46.847
something that a lot of

0:47:46.887 --> 0:47:48.608
drivers are really not

0:47:48.648 --> 0:47:49.829
paying attention to.

0:47:50.550 --> 0:47:51.671
And some I think they even

0:47:51.711 --> 0:47:53.412
hate to talk about because

0:47:53.452 --> 0:47:54.653
they just don't even want

0:47:54.713 --> 0:47:56.514
that thought creeping up in their mind.

0:47:56.554 --> 0:47:57.595
So we're going to play a

0:47:57.615 --> 0:47:58.876
clip from another part of

0:47:58.896 --> 0:48:00.518
the interview with the same driver.

0:48:01.038 --> 0:48:01.658
And we're going to give a

0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:02.999
little commentary behind it.

0:48:03.740 --> 0:48:04.621
But we just want this clip

0:48:04.641 --> 0:48:05.401
to bring a little bit in

0:48:05.461 --> 0:48:06.682
context on what we're going

0:48:06.702 --> 0:48:08.003
to give you commentary on.

0:48:08.664 --> 0:48:09.865
Have you heard anything

0:48:09.905 --> 0:48:11.146
about the autonomous trucks?

0:48:12.038 --> 0:48:12.758
heard anything about the

0:48:12.778 --> 0:48:14.399
autonomous truck issue okay

0:48:14.439 --> 0:48:15.999
so if you don't know that

0:48:16.139 --> 0:48:17.079
they they talking about

0:48:17.299 --> 0:48:17.919
they've been talking about

0:48:17.939 --> 0:48:18.919
bringing autonomous trucks

0:48:18.939 --> 0:48:19.620
you know the autonomous

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:20.600
trucks of the driverless

0:48:20.620 --> 0:48:21.880
trucks they talking about

0:48:21.900 --> 0:48:25.341
taking the driver oh that's

0:48:25.361 --> 0:48:26.641
gonna kill everybody man

0:48:27.161 --> 0:48:28.401
that's that's this computer

0:48:28.441 --> 0:48:29.962
man what you're gonna do

0:48:29.982 --> 0:48:30.862
when you have that truck

0:48:30.882 --> 0:48:35.183
have a computer blitz see what I'm saying

0:48:36.833 --> 0:48:37.193
Oh, man.

0:48:37.213 --> 0:48:37.934
Well, see, right now,

0:48:37.954 --> 0:48:38.975
they already got trucks on

0:48:38.995 --> 0:48:39.755
the road doing that.

0:48:40.056 --> 0:48:40.416
Oh, really?

0:48:40.456 --> 0:48:42.057
In Texas,

0:48:42.417 --> 0:48:44.279
it's an autonomous truck company

0:48:44.299 --> 0:48:45.100
called Kodiak.

0:48:46.100 --> 0:48:46.961
I know you heard of Ryder.

0:48:47.401 --> 0:48:47.662
Yeah.

0:48:47.722 --> 0:48:47.962
Ryder.

0:48:48.382 --> 0:48:49.823
They teamed up with them.

0:48:50.304 --> 0:48:52.305
They running routes from

0:48:52.525 --> 0:48:55.748
Houston to Dallas to Oklahoma City.

0:48:56.649 --> 0:48:58.270
And there ain't nobody in the truck.

0:48:58.290 --> 0:48:59.871
Well, they got a driver in the truck,

0:49:00.432 --> 0:49:01.532
but the truck...

0:49:02.860 --> 0:49:03.020
Yeah,

0:49:03.060 --> 0:49:04.321
he's just there to just take over

0:49:04.361 --> 0:49:05.821
just in case something happens.

0:49:05.841 --> 0:49:07.102
Oh, so he's sitting in the driver's seat.

0:49:07.142 --> 0:49:07.722
He's sitting there,

0:49:08.163 --> 0:49:09.883
but he's sitting like this, you know,

0:49:10.003 --> 0:49:10.664
holding, you know,

0:49:10.964 --> 0:49:12.845
just in case he goes out of control,

0:49:13.125 --> 0:49:14.125
he's got to be there to grab him.

0:49:15.206 --> 0:49:16.086
But they've been running

0:49:16.827 --> 0:49:19.808
like that for so long now.

0:49:19.988 --> 0:49:21.449
And I know you heard of Warren Buffett,

0:49:21.489 --> 0:49:21.689

0:49:22.890 --> 0:49:24.831
You know, the billionaire, Warren Buffett,

0:49:52.167 --> 0:49:53.328
trucks pull in they need fuel

0:49:53.767 --> 0:49:54.787
somebody be out there to put

0:49:54.808 --> 0:49:56.268
fuel in it and all that.

0:49:56.288 --> 0:49:56.488
Yeah,

0:49:56.528 --> 0:49:58.509
they also use it as like a drop line

0:49:58.589 --> 0:50:00.190
so that the local guys can

0:50:00.410 --> 0:50:02.991
come in and load stuff

0:50:03.091 --> 0:50:04.392
together last night.

0:50:05.072 --> 0:50:05.913
So in Ashland,

0:50:05.933 --> 0:50:06.853
they really have been taken

0:50:06.893 --> 0:50:07.753
away from drivers.

0:50:08.474 --> 0:50:10.535
Well, that's the goal to adventure.

0:50:11.035 --> 0:50:11.275
Yeah,

0:50:11.295 --> 0:50:12.556
that's the goal to adventure because

0:50:12.836 --> 0:50:14.236
they got something set up

0:50:14.256 --> 0:50:14.857
where they're going to be

0:50:14.917 --> 0:50:17.398
running from Georgia to Texas.

0:50:20.212 --> 0:50:22.413
Okay, so that right there, just, you know,

0:50:22.593 --> 0:50:23.674
part of the interview we

0:50:23.714 --> 0:50:25.235
had touched on when we was

0:50:25.255 --> 0:50:26.936
talking about the Tom and the truck guys,

0:50:27.456 --> 0:50:28.817
we need you to understand

0:50:28.837 --> 0:50:30.118
that this is very important

0:50:30.198 --> 0:50:31.839
information to pay attention to.

0:50:33.019 --> 0:50:34.240
It's a lot of us not paying

0:50:34.300 --> 0:50:34.840
attention to it,

0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:35.961
just like that brother there.

0:50:36.001 --> 0:50:37.202
He hadn't even heard of it.

0:50:37.282 --> 0:50:37.562
I know.

0:50:38.443 --> 0:50:39.204
You'll probably say, well,

0:50:39.224 --> 0:50:40.325
he's only a year into the

0:50:40.906 --> 0:50:41.667
trucking industry.

0:50:41.947 --> 0:50:42.988
These guys that we have

0:50:43.028 --> 0:50:45.411
talked to with years of experience,

0:50:46.032 --> 0:50:46.833
they're unaware.

0:50:46.953 --> 0:50:48.355
And we want to make a correction, too.

0:50:48.415 --> 0:50:49.296
They haven't built that

0:50:49.336 --> 0:50:51.138
truck stop in Villarica, Georgia yet.

0:50:51.438 --> 0:50:52.740
They're planning to build.

0:50:53.562 --> 0:50:55.183
to service uh the autonomous

0:50:55.203 --> 0:50:56.164
trucks as they run their

0:50:56.224 --> 0:50:58.105
routes from dallas across

0:50:58.605 --> 0:51:00.146
i-20 over into villa rica

0:51:00.887 --> 0:51:02.808
back and forth to uh test

0:51:02.828 --> 0:51:04.930
these trucks out so this is

0:51:04.990 --> 0:51:06.190
very important information

0:51:06.210 --> 0:51:07.371
that drivers really need to

0:51:07.411 --> 0:51:08.512
pay attention to they gotta

0:51:08.532 --> 0:51:09.773
because see it's not just

0:51:09.833 --> 0:51:11.614
kodiak it's a bunch of

0:51:11.634 --> 0:51:14.196
these uh uh technology

0:51:14.276 --> 0:51:16.197
companies that's uh

0:51:16.357 --> 0:51:18.459
developing uh autonomous

0:51:18.499 --> 0:51:19.960
software for the trucking

0:51:20.080 --> 0:51:22.681
industry you know you got one called isse

0:51:25.683 --> 0:51:27.443
I tried to find the video

0:51:28.144 --> 0:51:29.524
during the time that the

0:51:29.564 --> 0:51:30.905
clip was playing so that I

0:51:30.925 --> 0:51:32.685
could show the video of

0:51:32.745 --> 0:51:34.426
these trucks operating

0:51:34.906 --> 0:51:37.667
automatically on a yard at

0:51:37.687 --> 0:51:38.807
this big warehouse.

0:51:39.228 --> 0:51:41.448
And I'm talking about, they got, man, look,

0:51:41.468 --> 0:51:43.389
they got automated landing gear,

0:51:44.510 --> 0:51:46.530
automated fifth wheel release.

0:51:46.570 --> 0:51:48.471
The trucks are automated and

0:51:48.511 --> 0:51:51.012
the whole yard is automated.

0:51:52.118 --> 0:51:54.159
with moving their trailers around.

0:51:55.059 --> 0:51:56.139
So, you know,

0:51:57.700 --> 0:51:59.481
imagine the guys in that town

0:52:00.701 --> 0:52:02.302
who need to be home with

0:52:02.342 --> 0:52:03.522
their family every day.

0:52:04.622 --> 0:52:07.123
And those are jobs that's

0:52:07.203 --> 0:52:10.324
cut out because it's automated.

0:52:10.504 --> 0:52:11.805
The only way he could get the job,

0:52:12.245 --> 0:52:13.385
he may have to be some kind

0:52:13.425 --> 0:52:16.206
of engineer or something to

0:52:16.246 --> 0:52:17.447
even be able to qualify.

0:52:18.326 --> 0:52:20.227
to just have that job, you know?

0:52:20.247 --> 0:52:21.687
So that's, that's, that's,

0:52:21.767 --> 0:52:23.047
that's something that I want, uh,

0:52:23.107 --> 0:52:23.967
drivers to really pay

0:52:24.027 --> 0:52:25.728
attention to start doing,

0:52:25.848 --> 0:52:27.068
doing your research on this,

0:52:27.108 --> 0:52:28.569
because I think if we catch

0:52:28.749 --> 0:52:30.949
it before it's app, uh,

0:52:31.229 --> 0:52:32.370
actually implemented,

0:52:32.650 --> 0:52:34.290
we probably could put a stop to it.

0:52:34.450 --> 0:52:35.290
Even if we have to do

0:52:35.350 --> 0:52:36.311
something just like these

0:52:36.351 --> 0:52:38.331
guys plan on doing in New York city,

0:52:38.791 --> 0:52:39.812
hopefully we won't,

0:52:39.972 --> 0:52:42.452
hopefully it'll be that they hear us,

0:52:43.493 --> 0:52:45.133
you know, by the way, uh,

0:52:46.219 --> 0:52:47.321
Don't forget to like and

0:52:47.361 --> 0:52:49.324
subscribe and please share this channel.

0:52:50.185 --> 0:52:50.385
Yeah.

0:52:51.006 --> 0:52:51.206
Yeah.

0:52:51.266 --> 0:52:51.987
But yeah, but you know,

0:52:52.007 --> 0:52:52.648
I'm going to let you get

0:52:52.668 --> 0:52:53.489
your commentary on.

0:52:53.529 --> 0:52:54.631
I just wanted to point that out.

0:52:56.355 --> 0:52:59.636
That autonomous,

0:52:59.657 --> 0:53:01.477
that automated autonomous

0:53:02.598 --> 0:53:05.699
yard truck that was in Texas.

0:53:06.259 --> 0:53:08.120
They didn't release the yard.

0:53:08.320 --> 0:53:10.260
It was an undisclosed location.

0:53:10.401 --> 0:53:12.341
They didn't release the yard or the town.

0:53:12.361 --> 0:53:13.942
They just showed the video.

0:53:13.962 --> 0:53:16.963
They just said it's a

0:53:17.043 --> 0:53:18.484
Fortune 100 company or

0:53:18.504 --> 0:53:19.244
something like that.

0:53:19.644 --> 0:53:20.944
They just said it was a big company.

0:53:21.605 --> 0:53:24.366
And Texas is pretty much

0:53:25.286 --> 0:53:27.087
the foundation or like the

0:53:27.107 --> 0:53:28.727
stomping ground for a lot

0:53:28.747 --> 0:53:30.648
of these companies you know

0:53:30.908 --> 0:53:32.009
uh they're doing a lot of

0:53:32.049 --> 0:53:35.370
this probably in texas oh

0:53:35.390 --> 0:53:35.970
you talking about the

0:53:36.010 --> 0:53:38.331
warehouse yeah yeah that

0:53:38.371 --> 0:53:39.471
probably explained why they

0:53:39.491 --> 0:53:40.512
have you out there so many

0:53:40.572 --> 0:53:42.032
hours when you go down is

0:53:42.072 --> 0:53:44.033
that target we we were

0:53:44.073 --> 0:53:44.973
going down there too they

0:53:45.013 --> 0:53:45.854
have you park on the

0:53:45.954 --> 0:53:47.574
outside and they have

0:53:47.614 --> 0:53:48.415
somebody come and get your

0:53:48.455 --> 0:53:50.535
trailer and take it on the

0:53:50.595 --> 0:53:53.016
inside where is it at texas huh

0:53:56.115 --> 0:53:59.157
oh man texas I want to say I

0:53:59.197 --> 0:54:00.598
want to say long view but

0:54:00.638 --> 0:54:01.858
it may be like around the

0:54:01.898 --> 0:54:03.319
dallas fort worth area I

0:54:03.339 --> 0:54:04.860
can't remember okay I'm not

0:54:04.980 --> 0:54:08.102
sure about that yeah yeah

0:54:08.182 --> 0:54:10.743
but uh yeah this is real so

0:54:10.803 --> 0:54:12.304
for the guys who saying

0:54:12.824 --> 0:54:13.825
it'll never happen

0:54:15.132 --> 0:54:18.855
I'm not saying not, not to listen to them,

0:54:19.795 --> 0:54:21.176
but you might just kind of want to,

0:54:21.196 --> 0:54:22.277
you know what I'm saying?

0:54:22.297 --> 0:54:23.318
You don't want to be fully

0:54:23.378 --> 0:54:24.919
invested into listening to

0:54:24.939 --> 0:54:26.700
that because what they

0:54:26.760 --> 0:54:29.802
saying is a hopeful statement.

0:54:30.943 --> 0:54:32.244
What the billionaire is

0:54:32.364 --> 0:54:35.306
actually doing is a

0:54:35.326 --> 0:54:37.167
physical financial statement.

0:54:37.587 --> 0:54:39.749
If I can word it like that, you know,

0:54:39.789 --> 0:54:41.510
they got their money invested in it.

0:54:41.690 --> 0:54:41.990
Huh?

0:54:42.170 --> 0:54:42.471
Yeah.

0:54:42.671 --> 0:54:44.452
I said they making moves on it already.

0:54:47.197 --> 0:54:49.961
Because we saw that, where was that at?

0:54:50.161 --> 0:54:51.282
Oh, Kodiak.

0:54:52.543 --> 0:54:53.825
That they are planning by

0:54:53.845 --> 0:54:55.987
the end of the year to go

0:54:56.067 --> 0:54:58.931
fully autonomous on their

0:54:58.971 --> 0:54:59.872
lane that they have

0:55:01.324 --> 0:55:03.806
From Houston to, well,

0:55:03.826 --> 0:55:05.447
they had two lanes over there in Texas.

0:55:05.787 --> 0:55:06.968
They have one from Houston

0:55:07.028 --> 0:55:08.790
to Dallas and one from

0:55:08.870 --> 0:55:10.611
Houston to Oklahoma City.

0:55:11.912 --> 0:55:13.973
And after so long,

0:55:14.113 --> 0:55:15.274
they've been running this lane.

0:55:15.294 --> 0:55:18.417
I forgot exactly when they started, but.

0:55:19.097 --> 0:55:20.178
with that lane that they

0:55:20.218 --> 0:55:21.399
have running by the end of

0:55:21.419 --> 0:55:23.101
the year they they hope to

0:55:23.141 --> 0:55:24.402
go fully autonomous right

0:55:24.462 --> 0:55:26.363
now they have a driver in

0:55:26.404 --> 0:55:29.566
the truck uh pretty much in

0:55:29.586 --> 0:55:31.708
the driver's seat just just

0:55:31.808 --> 0:55:32.989
there just in case

0:55:33.870 --> 0:55:34.831
something goes wrong with

0:55:34.871 --> 0:55:36.132
the truck the driver will

0:55:36.172 --> 0:55:37.313
be there to take control

0:55:37.373 --> 0:55:39.835
but they hope to by the end

0:55:39.855 --> 0:55:41.397
of the year to be fully

0:55:41.457 --> 0:55:43.719
autonomous with no human in the truck

0:55:46.264 --> 0:55:49.006
yeah so I guess I guess

0:55:49.026 --> 0:55:50.387
we're gonna see because

0:55:50.467 --> 0:55:53.809
like I said just follow the news right

0:55:57.107 --> 0:55:57.947
Follow the news because

0:55:57.987 --> 0:55:59.248
we're going to keep reporting.

0:55:59.268 --> 0:56:01.088

We feel like we give

0:56:07.229 --> 0:56:08.530
valuable content that we

0:56:08.550 --> 0:56:10.370
want to get out to the trucking industry.

0:56:10.810 --> 0:56:11.930
Everything that we speak of

0:56:11.990 --> 0:56:13.051
is not bad news,

0:56:13.111 --> 0:56:14.251
but we do do a lot of

0:56:14.291 --> 0:56:15.691
awareness commentary.

0:56:16.291 --> 0:56:18.552
So please don't forget to subscribe, like,

0:56:18.612 --> 0:56:18.952
and share.

0:56:19.612 --> 0:56:20.552
yeah sorry about that jane

0:56:20.572 --> 0:56:22.253
go ahead oh no no you good

0:56:22.673 --> 0:56:23.533
and I'm just going to say

0:56:23.553 --> 0:56:26.834
that kodiak with their

0:56:27.454 --> 0:56:29.134
network that they have they

0:56:29.154 --> 0:56:30.735
say they have an 18 000

0:56:30.735 --> 0:56:32.515
mile network of different

0:56:32.555 --> 0:56:33.856
lanes that they are running

0:56:33.996 --> 0:56:36.596
in and so uh and now since

0:56:36.616 --> 0:56:37.757
they've just partnered not

0:56:37.777 --> 0:56:38.877
very long with ryder

0:56:40.217 --> 0:56:42.298
Which right is a fairly

0:56:42.358 --> 0:56:44.679
large logistics company and

0:56:44.879 --> 0:56:47.200
truck rental equipment rental rather.

0:56:47.220 --> 0:56:51.162
I don't see this might help

0:56:51.262 --> 0:56:53.423
Kodiak really meet that

0:56:53.503 --> 0:56:54.764
deadline or meet that goal

0:56:54.804 --> 0:56:55.504
that they want to meet.

0:56:56.294 --> 0:56:58.016
and becoming fully

0:56:58.056 --> 0:56:59.057
autonomous by the end of

0:56:59.077 --> 0:57:00.138
the year because now they

0:57:00.178 --> 0:57:02.981
have partners to help them out with this.

0:57:03.641 --> 0:57:04.502
They had already,

0:57:04.882 --> 0:57:06.024
towards the end of last year,

0:57:06.044 --> 0:57:07.445
partnered with Maersk,

0:57:08.466 --> 0:57:09.887
the shipping vessel company.

0:57:10.568 --> 0:57:11.849
So that was a big

0:57:11.889 --> 0:57:13.230
partnership running that

0:57:13.290 --> 0:57:18.015
same lane from Houston to Oklahoma City.

0:57:19.981 --> 0:57:22.803
so um texas is a big

0:57:22.864 --> 0:57:24.825
stomping ground uh right

0:57:24.885 --> 0:57:27.387
now for uh the autonomous

0:57:27.407 --> 0:57:31.831
trucks I i I just wonder if

0:57:31.871 --> 0:57:33.232
they're gonna route though

0:57:33.252 --> 0:57:34.173
you know like when I hear

0:57:34.193 --> 0:57:35.674
them lanes from houston up

0:57:35.714 --> 0:57:37.496
towards oklahoma from

0:57:37.556 --> 0:57:38.997
dallas across over to

0:57:39.057 --> 0:57:40.519
georgia I just wonder

0:57:40.539 --> 0:57:41.680
they're gonna route these

0:57:42.160 --> 0:57:43.501
lanes out for autonomous

0:57:43.561 --> 0:57:45.523
trucks starting out like

0:57:45.543 --> 0:57:46.584
how they do the trains

0:57:47.729 --> 0:57:49.652
How they do the routes for the airplanes,

0:57:49.952 --> 0:57:50.312
huh?

0:57:50.953 --> 0:57:51.494
I doubt it.

0:57:52.515 --> 0:57:52.776
Well, like,

0:57:52.796 --> 0:57:53.877
do you know what I mean by that?

0:57:54.698 --> 0:57:56.360
You talking about routing in terms of,

0:57:56.480 --> 0:57:58.022
like, back roads and stuff?

0:57:58.763 --> 0:58:00.165
No, no, no.

0:58:00.205 --> 0:58:01.426
They don't put no trains and

0:58:01.467 --> 0:58:02.548
airplanes on back roads.

0:58:03.229 --> 0:58:05.091
Well, I know that, but the way I...

0:58:06.551 --> 0:58:07.933
pictured you was talking about, like,

0:58:07.953 --> 0:58:08.774
they pretty much got their

0:58:08.954 --> 0:58:11.597
own lane away from, you know,

0:58:11.617 --> 0:58:13.079
a lot of traffic and everything.

0:58:13.099 --> 0:58:14.401
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

0:58:14.501 --> 0:58:15.262
I'm talking about keeping

0:58:15.282 --> 0:58:17.144
them on open lanes like I-20s.

0:58:18.573 --> 0:58:21.356
your I-35s and 45s, you know,

0:58:21.436 --> 0:58:22.356
round them like that,

0:58:22.396 --> 0:58:25.259
like how they do BNSL, CN,

0:58:25.279 --> 0:58:26.840
Norfolk Southern has their

0:58:27.001 --> 0:58:28.702
own region where they

0:58:28.742 --> 0:58:29.763
travel and then you can

0:58:29.783 --> 0:58:32.426
look on the map and they don't hit like,

0:58:32.486 --> 0:58:33.486
you know what I'm saying, a road,

0:58:33.506 --> 0:58:33.987
you know,

0:58:34.067 --> 0:58:36.569
like they may go from California

0:58:37.270 --> 0:58:40.553
up to Utah, stop, switch up,

0:58:40.693 --> 0:58:41.734
and then they got another

0:58:41.774 --> 0:58:43.015
train going another route,

0:58:43.055 --> 0:58:44.917
taking part of the load this way.

0:58:45.457 --> 0:58:46.498
I'm talking about robbing

0:58:46.538 --> 0:58:47.299
them in that way.

0:58:47.439 --> 0:58:48.700
You talking about like their coverage,

0:58:48.720 --> 0:58:49.901
having their own coverage area.

0:58:49.921 --> 0:58:50.081
Right.

0:58:50.682 --> 0:58:52.283
That they're going to be covering, yeah.

0:58:52.563 --> 0:58:52.764
Right.

0:58:52.804 --> 0:58:54.365
Where each autonomous

0:58:54.485 --> 0:58:57.027
company covers a certain map of the U.S.

0:58:57.147 --> 0:58:58.268
Exactly.

0:58:58.288 --> 0:58:59.309
That's what you're talking about.

0:58:59.329 --> 0:58:59.630
Yeah.

0:58:59.910 --> 0:59:00.671
Right, right.

0:59:00.691 --> 0:59:01.912
Because see, in that article,

0:59:01.952 --> 0:59:03.353
just like with the Villarica,

0:59:03.953 --> 0:59:06.516
the autonomous serving truck stop,

0:59:06.536 --> 0:59:09.038
they're playing on Villarica, Georgia.

0:59:09.058 --> 0:59:10.199
Yeah.

0:59:11.344 --> 0:59:12.545
They're going to use that

0:59:12.745 --> 0:59:14.446
also not only as service,

0:59:14.807 --> 0:59:16.628
but as like a drop yard for

0:59:16.648 --> 0:59:18.249
the final mile delivery

0:59:18.289 --> 0:59:19.650
drivers to come in and pick

0:59:19.670 --> 0:59:21.351
those loads up and take

0:59:21.392 --> 0:59:22.973
them loads to the final mile,

0:59:23.013 --> 0:59:23.973
like in the city or

0:59:24.013 --> 0:59:25.074
whatever they have to go.

0:59:25.575 --> 0:59:26.275
So, you know,

0:59:26.355 --> 0:59:28.417
if they can end up routing it like that,

0:59:28.437 --> 0:59:30.238
it's still going to hurt

0:59:30.258 --> 0:59:31.179
the trucking industry

0:59:31.199 --> 0:59:33.841
because it's going to minimize OTR jobs.

0:59:34.041 --> 0:59:35.022
Now you're going to see

0:59:35.722 --> 0:59:37.984
local jobs being overflooded.

0:59:38.424 --> 0:59:40.546
overrun and you're going to

0:59:40.586 --> 0:59:44.768
see the the what they call

0:59:44.808 --> 0:59:47.330
it the turnover rate in

0:59:47.350 --> 0:59:48.390
these trucking companies

0:59:48.491 --> 0:59:50.472
increase actually because

0:59:50.512 --> 0:59:52.033
you know now we don't have

0:59:52.053 --> 0:59:55.335
to kowtow to you know I'm

0:59:55.375 --> 0:59:56.335
saying a select group of

0:59:56.356 --> 0:59:57.276
drivers you know we got

0:59:57.356 --> 0:59:58.417
plenty of drivers who

0:59:58.457 --> 0:59:59.918
qualify to be local drivers

1:00:00.338 --> 1:00:01.279
it may actually put a

1:00:01.319 --> 1:00:02.720
hurting on the union we

1:00:02.740 --> 1:00:04.020
don't have to kowtow to the

1:00:04.140 --> 1:00:06.382
union we don't need that much manpower

1:00:06.822 --> 1:00:08.123
you know to just go over

1:00:08.143 --> 1:00:10.165
there five miles and pick

1:00:10.205 --> 1:00:11.225
up this load from this

1:00:11.286 --> 1:00:12.486
autonomous truck that just

1:00:12.526 --> 1:00:13.988
dropped this load and bring

1:00:14.028 --> 1:00:15.829
it in the city you know

1:00:15.849 --> 1:00:17.230
what I mean like it could

1:00:17.270 --> 1:00:18.171
be that but that's just me

1:00:18.231 --> 1:00:20.412
hypothetically speaking you

1:00:20.453 --> 1:00:21.493
know you know I'm saying

1:00:21.533 --> 1:00:22.554
again for those who watch

1:00:22.634 --> 1:00:23.735
don't forget to subscribe

1:00:23.775 --> 1:00:24.836
like and share thank you

1:00:24.856 --> 1:00:26.177
for uh watching this

1:00:26.237 --> 1:00:30.320
episode yeah yeah and from

1:00:30.380 --> 1:00:32.762
the looks of it you know um

1:00:33.636 --> 1:00:35.658
that 18 000 mile network

1:00:35.718 --> 1:00:37.619
with kodiak that may be you

1:00:37.659 --> 1:00:38.980
know they probably have the

1:00:39.040 --> 1:00:42.022
whole southeast region you

1:00:42.062 --> 1:00:43.363
know they already running

1:00:43.443 --> 1:00:45.525
from georgia to texas and

1:00:45.545 --> 1:00:46.746
then they got that texas up

1:00:46.786 --> 1:00:49.147
to oklahoma city they may

1:00:49.167 --> 1:00:50.929
be running from 40 to the

1:00:51.029 --> 1:00:52.170
east coast you know what

1:00:52.190 --> 1:00:52.910
I'm saying to like north

1:00:52.930 --> 1:00:55.272
carolina and and all the

1:00:55.292 --> 1:00:56.633
way down everything in between

1:00:57.569 --> 1:01:01.397
Right, and like that company, ISSE,

1:01:01.477 --> 1:01:02.780
if their specialty is

1:01:02.940 --> 1:01:04.423
autonomous yard trucks,

1:01:05.766 --> 1:01:06.987
that would probably be their

1:01:07.047 --> 1:01:10.008
division of what they specialize in.

1:01:10.329 --> 1:01:12.510
And they may have like a certain region,

1:01:12.630 --> 1:01:14.671
if not the whole region in

1:01:14.691 --> 1:01:16.231
the United States sold up

1:01:16.612 --> 1:01:20.233
for just autonomous driving yard trucks,

1:01:20.834 --> 1:01:21.254
you know,

1:01:21.354 --> 1:01:23.695
which a lot of the big companies

1:01:23.755 --> 1:01:25.136
were probably gonna jump on

1:01:25.176 --> 1:01:26.196
because that's gonna save

1:01:26.216 --> 1:01:27.357
them on their bottom line.

1:01:28.057 --> 1:01:28.898
It would, you know.

1:01:30.435 --> 1:01:31.996
Like their upfront cost is

1:01:32.036 --> 1:01:32.976
going to be high.

1:01:33.376 --> 1:01:34.237
But over time,

1:01:34.277 --> 1:01:35.077
when you think about what

1:01:35.097 --> 1:01:36.498
you have to pay somebody an hour,

1:01:36.858 --> 1:01:38.078
you have to give raises,

1:01:38.098 --> 1:01:40.379
you have to give health, dental,

1:01:40.760 --> 1:01:41.780
life insurance.

1:01:42.780 --> 1:01:43.541
That's, you know.

1:01:44.301 --> 1:01:44.601
Yeah.

1:01:44.801 --> 1:01:48.363
Then the cost of onboarding a driver.

1:01:49.103 --> 1:01:49.363
You know,

1:01:49.383 --> 1:01:50.984
because a lot of those jobs are

1:01:51.104 --> 1:01:53.065
revolving doors, you know,

1:01:53.465 --> 1:01:55.066
especially those yard

1:01:55.126 --> 1:01:56.187
positions where you

1:01:56.207 --> 1:01:57.147
constantly in and out of

1:01:57.167 --> 1:01:58.968
the truck and opening doors

1:01:59.068 --> 1:01:59.928
and stuff like that,

1:01:59.948 --> 1:02:01.289
dealing with the weather and stuff.

1:02:01.749 --> 1:02:01.929
You know,

1:02:01.949 --> 1:02:03.230
a lot of those jobs are revolving

1:02:03.270 --> 1:02:04.511
doors because not

1:02:04.551 --> 1:02:06.932
everybody's paying well to do those jobs.

1:02:07.592 --> 1:02:08.292
Right, right.

1:02:08.372 --> 1:02:10.393
And then see the average person will say,

1:02:10.794 --> 1:02:11.974
ain't no way they'll put

1:02:12.654 --> 1:02:13.735
that kind of money.

1:02:14.800 --> 1:02:16.540
up front for an autonomous

1:02:16.600 --> 1:02:17.861
vehicle well this is what

1:02:17.881 --> 1:02:19.361
you got to understand also

1:02:20.081 --> 1:02:21.861
rich people don't calculate

1:02:21.881 --> 1:02:23.422
their money the way the

1:02:23.602 --> 1:02:25.622
average person do we micro

1:02:26.122 --> 1:02:28.422
manage our money they macro

1:02:28.463 --> 1:02:30.963
manage theirs so whereas

1:02:31.063 --> 1:02:32.403
we're managing for the next

1:02:32.483 --> 1:02:34.504
month they're managing and

1:02:34.544 --> 1:02:35.944
budgeting for the next year

1:02:36.084 --> 1:02:37.664
to five years they have

1:02:37.704 --> 1:02:38.904
that much money to play

1:02:38.984 --> 1:02:40.025
with that they can manage

1:02:40.045 --> 1:02:42.045
their money like that you know yeah

1:02:43.497 --> 1:02:44.378
Makes a lot of sense.

1:02:45.338 --> 1:02:45.658
Yeah.

1:02:45.718 --> 1:02:49.301
So, so, so, so I know seeing is believing,

1:02:49.401 --> 1:02:50.922
but research is too.

1:02:51.062 --> 1:02:51.983
So, like I said,

1:02:52.003 --> 1:02:55.005
we stay in the information area era.

1:02:55.645 --> 1:02:56.686
Please research this

1:02:56.766 --> 1:02:57.946
information yourself so

1:02:57.966 --> 1:02:59.627
that you can see what we're seeing.

1:03:00.068 --> 1:03:01.068
So, because, see, I know.

1:03:02.189 --> 1:03:04.531
uh when a lot of people hear

1:03:04.571 --> 1:03:05.792
you talking like we do

1:03:05.832 --> 1:03:06.832
about the things that we

1:03:06.912 --> 1:03:08.153
talk about and if it

1:03:08.173 --> 1:03:09.394
doesn't align to what

1:03:09.494 --> 1:03:10.435
everybody else in the

1:03:10.555 --> 1:03:11.816
industry is talking about

1:03:12.096 --> 1:03:13.497
you kind of look there as

1:03:13.757 --> 1:03:16.299
as as uh kind of like off

1:03:16.339 --> 1:03:18.460
the grid and this is the

1:03:18.500 --> 1:03:19.441
information that you know

1:03:19.461 --> 1:03:20.261
that we've been actually

1:03:20.461 --> 1:03:22.203
researching like kind of we

1:03:22.283 --> 1:03:23.183
you know if you ever heard

1:03:23.243 --> 1:03:24.984
of rachel maddow we kind of

1:03:25.184 --> 1:03:26.726
own like that kind of

1:03:26.806 --> 1:03:28.307
system where we look a

1:03:28.347 --> 1:03:29.607
little deeper if you say

1:03:29.647 --> 1:03:31.689
that it's a regulation being passed

1:03:32.329 --> 1:03:33.290
We want to know, okay, well,

1:03:33.330 --> 1:03:34.972
who's heading the FMCSA to

1:03:35.012 --> 1:03:36.053
pass these regulations?

1:03:36.533 --> 1:03:36.994
Okay.

1:03:37.674 --> 1:03:38.915
What's their background?

1:03:39.076 --> 1:03:40.076
Where did they work at

1:03:40.116 --> 1:03:42.058
before they worked at the FMCSA?

1:03:42.138 --> 1:03:43.860
Do they have trucking experience?

1:03:44.541 --> 1:03:45.942
If they have trucking experience,

1:03:46.042 --> 1:03:47.143
what role did they play in

1:03:47.163 --> 1:03:48.824
the trucking experience?

1:03:49.245 --> 1:03:52.788
Do they have stocks invested

1:03:53.309 --> 1:03:55.391
in certain companies that

1:03:55.431 --> 1:03:57.893
these regulations would benefit for?

1:03:59.003 --> 1:03:59.383
You know,

1:03:59.483 --> 1:04:01.245
so that's the kind of research we do.

1:04:01.345 --> 1:04:03.286
So we encourage you all to do the same.

1:04:03.626 --> 1:04:04.147
Like I said,

1:04:04.167 --> 1:04:06.028
don't please don't forget to subscribe,

1:04:06.088 --> 1:04:06.768

1:04:08.009 --> 1:04:08.510
Eugene,

1:04:09.010 --> 1:04:10.991
we got break check coming up in May.

1:04:11.051 --> 1:04:11.832
Tell us about it.

1:04:13.233 --> 1:04:13.493
Well,

1:04:14.053 --> 1:04:16.535
coming around May 14th through the

1:04:17.356 --> 1:04:18.336
May 16th,

1:04:19.297 --> 1:04:22.059
you have the international road check.

1:04:22.771 --> 1:04:24.351
that which you know a lot of

1:04:24.371 --> 1:04:25.152
drivers we call it the

1:04:25.192 --> 1:04:26.712
brake check but they call

1:04:26.772 --> 1:04:28.653
it international road check

1:04:28.733 --> 1:04:30.113
and you know in that they

1:04:30.173 --> 1:04:31.294
pretty much are checking

1:04:31.354 --> 1:04:33.754
for two things uh the first

1:04:33.814 --> 1:04:34.514
thing it would be the

1:04:34.595 --> 1:04:36.295
tractor protection systems

1:04:36.975 --> 1:04:38.436
you know and then the

1:04:38.516 --> 1:04:39.916
second part of that is your

1:04:40.056 --> 1:04:41.297
alcohol and controlled

1:04:41.377 --> 1:04:43.397
substance possession you

1:04:43.457 --> 1:04:46.278
know uh this uh road check

1:04:46.936 --> 1:04:48.257
is they like I said they

1:04:48.277 --> 1:04:49.698
call it the international

1:04:49.738 --> 1:04:52.700
road check so canada the us

1:04:53.140 --> 1:04:54.461
and mexico are all taking

1:04:54.501 --> 1:04:57.543
part in this um this check

1:04:58.484 --> 1:05:00.185
from may 14th through the

1:05:00.225 --> 1:05:01.346
16th so this give uh

1:05:01.426 --> 1:05:03.287
drivers and carriers the

1:05:03.387 --> 1:05:06.109
opportunity to uh check all

1:05:06.129 --> 1:05:07.911
that uh we just put up the

1:05:08.011 --> 1:05:09.752
the link of the website there

1:05:10.432 --> 1:05:12.413
uh here on the screen and

1:05:12.453 --> 1:05:13.473
this is the website you can

1:05:13.514 --> 1:05:14.934
go website that you can go

1:05:14.994 --> 1:05:17.135
to and you can see uh the

1:05:17.235 --> 1:05:18.816
inspection bulletin that

1:05:18.876 --> 1:05:19.896
inspection bulletin will

1:05:19.936 --> 1:05:21.357
show you all the things

1:05:21.417 --> 1:05:22.337
that they'll be checking

1:05:22.417 --> 1:05:24.518
for and this will give you

1:05:24.538 --> 1:05:26.479
the opportunity to prepare

1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:29.641
and really look over those

1:05:29.701 --> 1:05:30.881
things yourself and make

1:05:30.921 --> 1:05:32.342
sure that those things are

1:05:33.102 --> 1:05:35.163
inadequate position or

1:05:35.283 --> 1:05:36.384
adequate condition rather.

1:05:36.984 --> 1:05:37.304
Now,

1:05:37.804 --> 1:05:39.125
when they're doing the level one

1:05:39.165 --> 1:05:39.745
inspection,

1:05:40.486 --> 1:05:41.786
they said if you pass a level

1:05:41.886 --> 1:05:42.647
one inspection,

1:05:43.187 --> 1:05:47.289
you will receive that CBSA decal.

1:05:47.689 --> 1:05:49.290
I don't know if any guys who've had,

1:05:49.430 --> 1:05:50.811
if you've ever had an inspection,

1:05:50.831 --> 1:05:51.811
they have a little round

1:05:53.092 --> 1:05:54.393
sticker that they put in your window.

1:05:55.033 --> 1:05:56.575
And they'll hand it to you,

1:05:56.655 --> 1:05:57.496
put it in your window,

1:05:58.017 --> 1:05:59.539
pretty much most guys put

1:05:59.559 --> 1:06:00.600
it on their driver's side,

1:06:00.640 --> 1:06:02.022
some put it on their passenger's side.

1:06:02.503 --> 1:06:04.285
But it's good for three months,

1:06:04.465 --> 1:06:06.308
and that decal will pretty

1:06:06.348 --> 1:06:07.890
much serve notice to

1:06:08.050 --> 1:06:09.151
whatever weigh station that

1:06:09.191 --> 1:06:10.373
you may go to within that

1:06:10.413 --> 1:06:11.354
three-month period.

1:06:12.015 --> 1:06:14.516
that, hey, you've had an inspection,

1:06:15.076 --> 1:06:16.117
but you only get that

1:06:16.157 --> 1:06:18.818
sticker if you pass an inspection.

1:06:18.838 --> 1:06:19.978
You don't just get a sticker

1:06:19.998 --> 1:06:21.359
just because you've had an inspection.

1:06:21.799 --> 1:06:24.460
You only get it if you pass an inspection,

1:06:24.620 --> 1:06:27.481
and it has to be a level one inspection.

1:06:27.501 --> 1:06:29.922
You don't get a sticker for anything else.

1:06:29.982 --> 1:06:31.563
And for those who may be

1:06:31.683 --> 1:06:33.763
unaware what the level one inspection is,

1:06:34.164 --> 1:06:35.304
that's the inspection where

1:06:35.324 --> 1:06:37.245
they take that creeper

1:06:38.190 --> 1:06:39.071
And they finna go to work.

1:06:39.811 --> 1:06:41.053
And they finna pop the hood.

1:06:41.693 --> 1:06:43.755
And they finna go from the

1:06:44.215 --> 1:06:45.757
bumper of the truck all the

1:06:45.797 --> 1:06:46.978
way to the end of the trailer.

1:06:47.558 --> 1:06:49.520
And checking for everything.

1:06:50.300 --> 1:06:51.101
Brakes being out of

1:06:51.161 --> 1:06:52.703
adjustment and all of that.

1:06:52.743 --> 1:06:53.243
But like I said,

1:06:53.283 --> 1:06:54.004
the main thing they're

1:06:54.044 --> 1:06:55.485
checking for is your

1:06:55.545 --> 1:06:56.886
tractor protection valve.

1:06:57.387 --> 1:06:59.088
And that tractor protection valve,

1:06:59.108 --> 1:06:59.949
that's pretty much...

1:07:01.390 --> 1:07:03.671
It pretty much involves three things.

1:07:04.111 --> 1:07:05.271
On a tractor protection,

1:07:05.351 --> 1:07:06.232
you have what is called the

1:07:06.572 --> 1:07:07.853
tractor protection valve,

1:07:08.473 --> 1:07:10.034
the trailer supply valve,

1:07:10.714 --> 1:07:15.176
and an anti-bleed back valve.

1:07:15.776 --> 1:07:16.877
Those three things that they

1:07:16.917 --> 1:07:17.777
want to check to make sure

1:07:17.857 --> 1:07:19.098
it doesn't have any leaks.

1:07:19.938 --> 1:07:21.180
And that they're working properly,

1:07:21.200 --> 1:07:22.121
because those things can

1:07:22.141 --> 1:07:24.002
get you shut down for any

1:07:24.042 --> 1:07:24.863
type of air leaks.

1:07:26.165 --> 1:07:29.127
Also with the alcohol and

1:07:29.348 --> 1:07:30.809
control substance possession.

1:07:31.590 --> 1:07:31.890
So,

1:07:32.290 --> 1:07:34.072
which we shouldn't have to say that

1:07:34.393 --> 1:07:35.353
anybody who's driving the

1:07:35.373 --> 1:07:36.334
truck shouldn't be drinking

1:07:36.414 --> 1:07:38.436
alcohol while you're in operation.

1:07:39.097 --> 1:07:43.201
Yeah, we do.

1:07:43.241 --> 1:07:44.583
But we shouldn't have to say it.

1:07:44.683 --> 1:07:45.964
Oh, we need to say it.

1:07:46.004 --> 1:07:46.785
Yeah, we'll say it.

1:07:46.905 --> 1:07:47.906
Yeah, you're right.

1:07:48.066 --> 1:07:50.429
Like I told you, times have changed now.

1:07:51.410 --> 1:07:53.132
But go ahead.

1:07:54.473 --> 1:07:55.314
It's just that we know

1:07:55.474 --> 1:07:57.196
people in those situations, but...

1:07:58.659 --> 1:08:01.343
And that's why I'm going to

1:08:01.363 --> 1:08:02.584
say we should have to say it,

1:08:03.025 --> 1:08:04.687
but that's the thing that

1:08:04.727 --> 1:08:05.608
you shouldn't be doing

1:08:05.688 --> 1:08:06.589
while you're driving.

1:08:06.630 --> 1:08:08.772
You shouldn't be popping

1:08:08.812 --> 1:08:09.914
bottles while you're driving.

1:08:10.675 --> 1:08:11.396
You know what I'm saying?

1:08:12.317 --> 1:08:13.198
You shouldn't be popping

1:08:13.238 --> 1:08:15.401
pills while you're driving.

1:08:16.187 --> 1:08:16.547
you know,

1:08:16.587 --> 1:08:18.048
they should be in your possession

1:08:18.088 --> 1:08:18.929
while you drive it.

1:08:19.489 --> 1:08:21.811
But we got to let you guys know this,

1:08:21.911 --> 1:08:22.851
this stuff that they are

1:08:22.911 --> 1:08:24.772
checking for and is going on your CSA.

1:08:24.852 --> 1:08:27.354
What, what's the, uh, the clearing house.

1:08:28.115 --> 1:08:28.935
Can you explain a little bit

1:08:28.955 --> 1:08:30.496
how the clearing house and the SAP work?

1:08:31.437 --> 1:08:31.857
Okay.

1:08:32.037 --> 1:08:33.758
The way the clearing house works,

1:08:33.958 --> 1:08:34.639
if you don't know,

1:08:34.679 --> 1:08:35.639
the clearing house is

1:08:35.699 --> 1:08:39.442
basically a FMCSA tool where, uh,

1:08:40.002 --> 1:08:41.203
if your owner operator,

1:08:41.263 --> 1:08:43.044
anybody who own your own business,

1:08:44.253 --> 1:08:45.514
you have to be a part of the

1:08:45.554 --> 1:08:46.154
clearinghouse.

1:08:46.194 --> 1:08:47.155
If you're a driver,

1:08:47.515 --> 1:08:48.615
you have to be a part of

1:08:48.635 --> 1:08:49.356
the clearinghouse.

1:08:49.456 --> 1:08:51.597
When you get your random drug tests,

1:08:52.237 --> 1:08:54.158
everything goes into the clearinghouse.

1:08:54.198 --> 1:08:56.179
So if you fail a drug screen,

1:08:56.799 --> 1:08:59.160
they allow you to go to the SAP program.

1:08:59.200 --> 1:09:00.421
They pretty much suspend

1:09:00.441 --> 1:09:02.182
your license for a period

1:09:02.242 --> 1:09:03.382
of time until you go

1:09:03.423 --> 1:09:04.563
through the SAP program,

1:09:04.923 --> 1:09:06.884
almost kind of like trucking drug court,

1:09:06.964 --> 1:09:08.265
if you're familiar with drug court.

1:09:08.825 --> 1:09:09.666
And you had to go through

1:09:09.686 --> 1:09:10.867
that program to get your

1:09:10.927 --> 1:09:12.248
license reinstated.

1:09:12.448 --> 1:09:14.750
I've seen guys go through it twice.

1:09:14.770 --> 1:09:17.233
I don't know about the DUI,

1:09:17.253 --> 1:09:19.695
but for a little herbal in a system,

1:09:20.155 --> 1:09:20.515
you know,

1:09:20.535 --> 1:09:22.617
I've seen guys go through it twice.

1:09:23.018 --> 1:09:25.219
But this keeps track of you.

1:09:26.260 --> 1:09:27.121
you know what I'm saying I

1:09:27.181 --> 1:09:29.223
mean your your your whole

1:09:30.043 --> 1:09:32.365
uh uh uh trucking career

1:09:32.826 --> 1:09:34.547
you know as far as your

1:09:34.687 --> 1:09:36.589
alcohol and drug tests and

1:09:36.649 --> 1:09:38.991
physical is is on this

1:09:39.051 --> 1:09:41.132
database so any company can

1:09:41.192 --> 1:09:42.754
see it for those who are

1:09:42.774 --> 1:09:47.698
not familiar with it so uh that um

1:09:48.960 --> 1:09:49.920
it can destroy you

1:09:50.340 --> 1:09:51.301
especially with new

1:09:51.361 --> 1:09:52.361
regulations that they got

1:09:52.421 --> 1:09:54.121
coming up with now we

1:09:54.161 --> 1:09:55.681
hadn't researched into this

1:09:55.762 --> 1:09:56.662
new regulation that they're

1:09:56.682 --> 1:09:58.262
coming up with but I heard

1:09:58.322 --> 1:09:59.102
in the wind that it's

1:09:59.122 --> 1:10:00.863
something that if you are

1:10:01.063 --> 1:10:02.883
in currently in that system

1:10:03.503 --> 1:10:04.463
of the clearinghouse that

1:10:04.503 --> 1:10:05.784
they could just permanently

1:10:05.824 --> 1:10:07.144
disqualify your license I

1:10:07.184 --> 1:10:07.784
don't know if that's going

1:10:07.804 --> 1:10:10.305
to be state by state or all

1:10:10.325 --> 1:10:11.245
the way around I'm not for

1:10:11.325 --> 1:10:12.665
sure that's pretty much how

1:10:13.125 --> 1:10:15.766
the clearinghouse works okay

1:10:17.107 --> 1:10:17.387
Yeah.

1:10:17.628 --> 1:10:19.710
And that's so that's the

1:10:19.730 --> 1:10:20.872
thing that guys have to get

1:10:21.313 --> 1:10:21.893
familiar with.

1:10:21.933 --> 1:10:22.334
Like I said,

1:10:22.374 --> 1:10:25.518
we have the the website here

1:10:25.558 --> 1:10:26.159
on the screen.

1:10:26.219 --> 1:10:28.242
So take the time out if

1:10:28.262 --> 1:10:29.924
you're a carrier or you're a driver.

1:10:30.436 --> 1:10:31.417
And look at those requirements,

1:10:31.437 --> 1:10:32.197
look at what they're gonna

1:10:32.217 --> 1:10:34.099
be checking for and just ensure,

1:10:34.119 --> 1:10:35.640
because that's really a part of,

1:10:35.720 --> 1:10:36.440
if you're a driver,

1:10:36.820 --> 1:10:38.822
that's a part of your pre-trip, you know,

1:10:38.902 --> 1:10:39.783
ensuring that.

1:10:40.463 --> 1:10:42.665
And also, I just want to say this too.

1:10:43.025 --> 1:10:44.186
If you're a new driver,

1:10:44.566 --> 1:10:46.587
this is nothing for you to be afraid of.

1:10:47.588 --> 1:10:48.789
I'm gonna give you the same

1:10:48.829 --> 1:10:49.910
advice I'm gonna give to

1:10:50.010 --> 1:10:52.691
anybody who's a leased owner operator.

1:10:53.252 --> 1:10:54.573
Go to this website,

1:10:55.213 --> 1:10:56.374
get that information about

1:10:56.394 --> 1:10:57.034
the brake check.

1:10:57.075 --> 1:10:57.915
It's coming up in May.

1:10:57.955 --> 1:10:58.656
You got time.

1:10:59.336 --> 1:11:00.197
hand it over to your

1:11:00.237 --> 1:11:02.459
dispatcher and whoever, you know,

1:11:02.479 --> 1:11:04.321
so your dispatcher, your driver manager,

1:11:04.621 --> 1:11:05.782
and let them know like, hey,

1:11:06.023 --> 1:11:07.384
this truck need to be checked out.

1:11:08.085 --> 1:11:08.305
Yeah.

1:11:08.985 --> 1:11:09.426
You know,

1:11:09.606 --> 1:11:11.007
that's going to save you time

1:11:11.047 --> 1:11:12.128
from having to get up under

1:11:12.168 --> 1:11:13.450
there and checking all this.

1:11:13.810 --> 1:11:16.733
If they have a shop or have

1:11:16.773 --> 1:11:17.574
an account where you can

1:11:17.594 --> 1:11:18.675
take their truck to the shop,

1:11:20.041 --> 1:11:23.725
Get that article, www.cvsa.org.

1:11:24.425 --> 1:11:26.427
Shoot it over to them and

1:11:26.467 --> 1:11:27.468
let them get you scheduled

1:11:27.488 --> 1:11:29.170
to go to the shop and start

1:11:29.190 --> 1:11:30.131
getting your brakes checked

1:11:30.191 --> 1:11:31.813
because you don't want this

1:11:31.873 --> 1:11:32.733
kind of stuff getting on

1:11:32.773 --> 1:11:33.654
your record because they

1:11:33.674 --> 1:11:34.635
just coming up with...

1:11:35.556 --> 1:11:36.797
like this is a normal thing

1:11:36.857 --> 1:11:37.717
to break check and

1:11:37.777 --> 1:11:38.818
everything but what scares

1:11:38.878 --> 1:11:40.098
me is all these added

1:11:40.138 --> 1:11:41.059
regulations that they got

1:11:41.119 --> 1:11:42.539
coming up with we don't

1:11:42.579 --> 1:11:43.720
know what the consequences

1:11:43.780 --> 1:11:44.941
behind a lot of this stuff

1:11:44.961 --> 1:11:46.441
would be what kind of money

1:11:46.942 --> 1:11:48.122
you'll be out of or your

1:11:48.182 --> 1:11:49.543
company will be out of if

1:11:49.583 --> 1:11:50.383
you go through the scale

1:11:50.403 --> 1:11:51.264
housing you're not right

1:11:51.984 --> 1:11:54.506
so do your due diligence on

1:11:54.526 --> 1:11:56.407
that so if you're new it's

1:11:56.467 --> 1:11:57.748
nothing to be afraid of

1:11:58.089 --> 1:11:59.570
it's just part of your job

1:12:00.190 --> 1:12:01.291
to at least go to the

1:12:01.351 --> 1:12:03.593
website and and share that

1:12:03.633 --> 1:12:04.654
with your dispatch and say

1:12:04.674 --> 1:12:06.435
hey look I need all this

1:12:06.495 --> 1:12:08.977
done because I don't need

1:12:08.997 --> 1:12:11.479
to be shut down at a scale house right

1:12:12.589 --> 1:12:15.250
And yeah, just doing a proper pre-trip,

1:12:15.730 --> 1:12:18.732
you know, that will help you out,

1:12:19.132 --> 1:12:20.152
go a long way doing a

1:12:20.192 --> 1:12:22.093
proper pre-trip along with, like I said,

1:12:22.113 --> 1:12:24.815
taking this website and

1:12:24.915 --> 1:12:26.455
presenting it to the right

1:12:26.515 --> 1:12:27.836
people so that you know

1:12:27.856 --> 1:12:29.136
that your truck and trailer

1:12:29.236 --> 1:12:30.817
is in the right condition.

1:12:31.758 --> 1:12:32.018
Right.

1:12:32.718 --> 1:12:33.618
right that way you won't

1:12:33.658 --> 1:12:34.819
have any market gets your

1:12:34.879 --> 1:12:36.920
license so if the industry

1:12:36.960 --> 1:12:38.280
does stay the same or if it

1:12:38.320 --> 1:12:40.121
do flips flip and change

1:12:40.641 --> 1:12:42.282
you still in play because

1:12:42.402 --> 1:12:43.762
you're you're a qualified

1:12:43.822 --> 1:12:45.463
driver or you got the

1:12:45.583 --> 1:12:48.384
opportunity to be qualified

1:12:48.424 --> 1:12:49.404
without having to go

1:12:49.504 --> 1:12:52.205
through like if they change

1:12:52.245 --> 1:12:53.346
the industry to where you

1:12:53.386 --> 1:12:55.867
have to be a cdl carrying

1:12:56.047 --> 1:12:57.187
engineer but they make

1:12:57.367 --> 1:12:58.668
taking classes to be an

1:12:58.768 --> 1:13:00.608
engineer easy at least you

1:13:00.648 --> 1:13:01.269
won't have to go back

1:13:01.289 --> 1:13:02.369
through the cdl part

1:13:03.590 --> 1:13:05.131
At least you'll, you know, like,

1:13:05.171 --> 1:13:07.453
have that part taken care of.

1:13:07.473 --> 1:13:09.235
So protect your CDLs no

1:13:09.255 --> 1:13:11.077
matter what's going on in the industry,

1:13:11.117 --> 1:13:12.218
no matter what regulations

1:13:12.258 --> 1:13:12.878
they're passing.

1:13:13.259 --> 1:13:14.400
Protect your CDLs.

1:13:14.620 --> 1:13:17.422
So with that, Gene, I think that's all,

1:13:17.502 --> 1:13:17.702
man.

1:13:17.722 --> 1:13:18.663
We're going to be out.

1:13:19.024 --> 1:13:19.464
