Insurance isn’t only the worst thing in trucking. It’s the worst in everything. Home-owning, medical, auto insurance, business insurance, life insurance. Insurance rates everywhere are out of control.
@@portermatthew84 That’s right, just add up all the money a person has to spends on ensuring themselves a yr. People could be rich if they didn’t have to waste their money on insurance.
@ I know he won’t, he didn’t do anything for driver last time he was the President. The only thing he did was use truck drives for photo opportunities. I was just answering Alex questions, what should we ask Trumps to do for truck drivers.
Get rid of these brokers! If they love the industry so bad, force them into becoming a trucker; company driver, a one truck owner, or a fleet owner. Not one of those former brokers or broker agents would last a month.
America DON'T need auto-pilot trucks. The trucking industry just needs to get rid of the ELD and the logbooks. All the ELD does is make drivers pull over when they're ready to drive, and make us DRIVE when we're ready to SLEEP. If a trucker 🚚 can drive when he/she wants to, I promise a trucker WILL get more work done. 🚚
Insurance is high because most of the new drivers can’t drive. My truck was back into two times in one month. They drive in impossible conditions and cause pile ups. If anything should regulated, it’s a minimum standard for training.
@@treyfeeley2519 One year? Huh 😂😂😂😂😂😂 After 30 years I’m still learning something new from time to time. At least 3 years or more…if you want a real trainer…the reason we have so many bad drivers this days…trainers are a joke too.
@@RomeoUrsu-fy9qo I agree. I just hate the megas that will make a new driver a trainer after 6 months. Werner has had so many accidents because of this and , they keep doing it! I think 3 years is a good idea.
Wow I get the industry is very diabolical and fragmented. But how do you not know big carriers have their own insurance which probably isn't "great west" or "Carolina casualty" the only underwriters that exist for you're average owner operator. Your agent might whoever in hundreds the underwriters are only two. Meaning unless you have two years clean spanking shiny experience these underwriters will not touch.
More HOS. WE need to run canada HOS 80 hr week 24hr reset 8hr break It needs to be Flexible when driving. Don't have to drive full 13hrs but it's there if you have the energy or need a little more time to reach safe place to park
We need to put very strict regulations on insurance companies. Stop letting people come into the country and get a CDL right away. They need to be in the country and have a valid drivers license with no major violations for 5 years at a minimum to qualify for a CDL, need to investigate and shut down predatory Lease and Lease Purchase programs, and implement a minimum Rate per mile or minimum percentage with transparency for company drivers. We to many company drivers out here getting screwed by these big companies and even little ones. Also need to do away with the emissions BS and these electric trucks push. I believe we should worry way more about if a truck is road worthy and safe vs does it meet emission standards? And as an owner you should be able to decide what is best for your business as long as it is safe not be told what you have to buy making you have to spend more money. Everyday there are big companies who fund these bureaucrats who are getting them to pass these laws to try and push out the little guy. Emissions, ELD, Speed Limiters, and now electric trucks doing everything they can to make it harder to start a trucking business so they can take over. The day it’s only JB Hunt, Swift, Prime, Schneider stuff like that I’ll hang it up. As long as I can still have the dream of having a decent life and having fun driving cool trucks doing what I love I’ll keep doing it.
Also need to ease up on the hours of service go back to paper logs even if it’s a situation where you have to drive for x amount of years with no violations or accidents and then you qualify for paper logs, they also need to crack down on these big companies putting someone through a month of CDL school then a month of training on the road with someone that has only been driving 6 months that is just dumb and unsafe. I’ve been around trucking my whole life since 97 and I’ve been driving myself for 3+ years and I still don’t feel qualified enough to train. I believe you should be atleast 5 years accident free and major violation free to qualify to be a trainer. Cause let’s be honest nobody knows shit after 6 months or a year and if you think you do you’re a freaking idiot. And generally CDL schools need to be tougher and they need to be trained in manuals even if they don’t end up driving one. Way too many unskilled drivers are getting put in seats cause it’s a heart beat moving the truck for some money and it shows I mean look every winter at all the pileups and in general just all the accidents caused by trucks. I see it everyday it gets worse and worse people in trucks pulling out in front of you or pulling right off the shoulder without speeding up first tailgating you and other cars. It’s our job out here to safely operate these trucks and people act like they in a fuckin hellcat and think it’s a freaking joke and they are the cancer to this industry they need to be trained better or get their CDL revoked. The hours of service and speed of the trucks is not the issue it’s the idiots behind the wheel that are unskilled and untrained.
It's the same hours of service that we have to abide by whether we had paper logs or electronic logs it's just that nobody abided by them with paper logs
It's doesn't mean that everyone went over the 11 hours driving they just made it less of a risk going into a city during rush hour or accidents or storms still doing the 11 hour rule by adjusting it so your risks go down from accidents etc..
A person runs into a parked trailer and dies. Great Dane gets sued for 460 million. They said the ICC bar wasn't low enough. So it was obviously the trailers fault.
ALEX! NOW IS THE TIME! If we are going to get anything changed in trucking. Please find out who the next head of the DOT and FMCSA are. Publish their email info, and do a video encouraging truckers to send an email daily or weekly until our voices are heard! Also, trucking was de regulated under the Carter Admin back in the '70's. Do we need to go back to Government regulation?
We need to get rid of the government out this industry. There are to many redundant rules and regulations and who’s watching what the Mexican and Canadian trucks hauling the rules were they came here and went back not haul American freight back and forth in America!
Small carriers, owner operators, and Co drivers are killing the industry. We are at fault. We buy expensive insurance that covers almost nothing in the policies. We book cheap loads because we are desperate to make income not profits. Shippers and brokers treat us like garbage, and we allow it. EPA, IRS, FMCSA, truck stops dealers, and diesel repair shops take advantage of the hardworking trucker. We don't need a Union or any kind of representation. Instead we need to show COJONES!
Get rid of FMCSA, DOT,ATA,BROKERS,INS COMPANIES RUNNING RABID, ELD'S, 10 HRS off duty, 34 reset,Speedlimiters, auto braking, selfdriving trucks, electric trucks, non English speaking truckers, sweat pants, flopshoes should I continue?????
Insurance for me is the killer. I have had my equipment parked since August of 2023, and see no reason at all to get started back up yet. Rates are still no where close to being able to operate a truck profitably. Also, I will turn my equipment into a yard ornament before giving it away.
When it comes down to insurance increases, look at the quality of truck drivers that are out here that are not qualified and causing accidents. Let's do better as truck drivers and learn how to take accountability and responsibility for our actions.
Insurance is such a problem area. Have to have it but it’s so expensive and can see double digit increase just based on the market and not how safe the client is.
I agree with insurance pricing. It affects everyone’s potential financially. But WHAT ABOUT PARKING? Make it unconstitutional to generate punishment for following federal HOS laws when parking. That would create a dire need for states to provide parking due to public safety. P.S. pass a law that drivers must be efficient at backing at truck stops before granting CDL. A billion hours a week while trainers teach this method at Pilots across America. Huge carbon footprint. 😊😊
Have you people forgotten he was President once the before? He did NOTHING for truck drivers. What makes you think he will do anything this time around?
It depends on about the hrs of service how ya run the miles pay or brokage but if ya do percentage really does not matter,but miles per hrs and brokage hurts under hos.i made 135.000 in one year on percentage better the brokage and miles.yes the insurance rates are hurting our industry and they need to be cut or more drivers out of buisness.no more regs or we will not have any drivers and who is going to keep this country moving.
Get rid of broker's and pay better the loads. Be mire strict in shipper and receivers in loading and offloading after 2hours you pay the driver only not the carrier $150 prr hour fir layover.
21 year driver and a 2.5 million Miler. I got out just before COVID hit. I planned my escape before hand. It quit being fun right after 911. My recommendation is to look elsewhere. I good go on a 3 day rant but only a 1 day rant for all the good things and memories.

Insurance rates are risin' thanks to new trucks packed with tech like computers, cameras, & sensors. These gadgets let insurance folks track drivin' habits, like speedin'. Drive reckless, & they’ll see it-boostin' rates even if ya ain't caught. Don’t expect 'em to tell ya either.
Too many regulations. Cant park here cant drive no more time on ur clock can't do this cant do that.. it's just ridiculous. Dot can issue citations shut you down etc its like the driver is a criminal
They told me the reason why my insurance went up is due a large amount of accidents trucks are having I’m a one-man truck with no accident what do that have to do with me
END giving the young guys a license to drive. Change the minimum age starting at 26 years of age. I see it everyday trucks racing each other breaking speed limits. Trucks are not toys people!! END camper parking at truck stops. For sure. Thanks
You know when they interview you guys man they pick some of the wrong people to interview. You don’t never get down to it man everybody griping over the wrong thing they ain’t about the hours of service. Yeah I need a little bit of tweaking, but that’s not the problem get to the money money get rid of the brokers. They don’t own any trucks and don’t work yet a year like you do it ain’t about the insurance, yeah that could use a little tweaking but get rid of the brokers. How about this all the Truck drivers become union and see what happens the largest team union on the face of the planet and freight medical benefits, health benefits, retirement pension Social Security how about that But now we don’t wanna go Union I think that would be so impactful truck drivers don’t stick together never have never will only time you stick together is when you see another truck driver who you thought did something wrong and he didn’t the cops come up to you yo, did you see what happened? You 20 miles down the road first of you yeah he was flying past me, but you 20 miles down, bro you didn’t see anything. That’s the only time Truck drivers stick together. They only stick together when it comes to lawn enforcement and being a snitch at the company a Brown knows man get tired of getting on here voicing your opinion you know what else needs to change. You should have more rest area in every state. There is all over the country. It should be a requirement that you have sufficient rest in every state, an abundance of them that no truckstop in America can charge you for reserve parking. I mean we go from four hours to shower to $18 for a shower showers for free they fallen up your towels on the counter with all comes in off a truck out of a warehouse. The windshield wiper fluid comes in off a truck out of a warehouse your dirty gloves come from outside on the counter it’s unsanitary and while cleaning your shower with the same gloves to clean the shower, they go get fresh new towels with the same gloves on to put your clean towels in it, but you don’t give a fuck you dry your ass off with it. You don’t ask for two more towels so you can use the inside of the towel and you watch these people. Do this my hand you a towel you say nothing my man cleaning the toilet bowl with another towel, touching somebody else’s genitalia on the towel with the same gloves that he has on they might’ve blue their nose inside that towel. You know they wash behind drying off are you gonna let him hand you a towel and you pay $16 and you don’t say anything $18 for a shower that should be the biggest problem. We have sanitary food prices if you don’t make me pay for some food at a truckstop I shouldn’t have to buy what you sell man bring some more franchise. I’ll bring white castle bringing in Jersey Mike’s Jimmy John’s bring in Chinese restaurants I mean, if you wanna do it like that you might as well go out yo man call me for interview man you wanna talk to me yo man, we could chop it up over the phone man or we could do whatever you know what I mean video Skype, whatever man I’ll get tired of listening to some of these cats out here man the guys you’ve been interviewing for years mate I don’t never tell it man I like the way you supposed to tell it you gotta cover the whole globe man cover a hole with Ty scenario not just make one thing be the indoor indoor cause it ain’t the one thing the major one thing that it is is the brokers the work wouldn’t be cheap if you had no brokers.
Hours of service not enough huh? You know dam well how tired we are after driving 11 fucking hours in a day come on. I think hours of service is a bad thing. Look at all these companies editing logs.... Florida companies..... SUPER EGO..... They push they edit logs and you know it and you should report that more because drivers are falling for the scam.
Get rid of all brokers that do not own no more than 10 trucks broker should not be allowed to bid on work with no trucks and give you a bullshit ass price. If you do not have any working trucks in the game and we need at least 10 more working trucks if you do not have 10 working trucks calendar year as a broker, you should not be bidding on work all that other stuff don’t matter this is the cord of the problem. If you get rid of the brokers, you’ll get your money. You can’t get your money. If you got the middleman, you be on the work directly with the manufacture that way it keep the whole board running at a fair rate nobody’s bidding on a work for dirt cheap Nobody stealing they gonna try to find a way, but the brokers already got you in the back pocket get rid of all brokers that do not own 10 or more trucks that working every year throughout the whole entire year you’re a broker and you don’t own no trucks you shouldn’t be in a game.
Remember Trump said he was going to do away with my bad regulations that cost people money. ELDs it that exactly and they have been found to be unsafe. Let's see what he does, my guess is nothy
HOS ARE NOT GOING AWAY, Run LEGAL, Run Team if you have to get the freight to destination on a tight schedule. I made $125k on a W2 in 2024 running legally in LTL on E LOGS in a 66mph truck. Most of you guys should not even be in business if you cannot run legally. Quit hauling cheap freight. I sold my truck in 2009. I can do math and calculate my costs per mile and compare to what I could do as a company driver with benefits.
Trump WILL change things fast in support of the trucking industry. Hold on to your boot straps because it will be something that you have never seen before.
Wow, wrong answer. No more new authorities put a freeze on new authorities. The democrats deregulated trucking so more people could get in to provide competition to keep rates down for billionaires who want to keep shipping costs down. Now there are so many trucks that tax payers are paying for new parking. Insurance is high because of the flood of new trucks, when there were less trucks the insurance companies competed for your business by offering better rates. It must go back to the old way. In the past the only way to get an authority was to buy one from a company that was closed or closing. Alex I hope you read this.

They only stick together when it comes to lawn enforcement and being a snitch at the company a Brown knows man get tired of getting on here voicing your opinion you know what else needs to change. You should have more rest area in every state. There is all over the country. It should be a requirement that you have sufficient rest in every state, an abundance of them that no truckstop in America can charge you for reserve parking. I mean we go from four hours to shower to $18 for a shower showers for free they fallen up your towels on the counter with all comes in off a truck out of a warehouse. The windshield wiper fluid comes in off a truck out of a warehouse your dirty gloves come from outside on the counter it’s unsanitary and while cleaning your shower with the same gloves to clean the shower, they go get fresh new towels with the same gloves on to put your clean towels in it, but you don’t give a fuck you dry your ass off with it. You don’t ask for two more towels so you can use the inside of the towel and you watch these people. Do this my hand you a towel you say nothing my man cleaning the toilet bowl with another towel, touching somebody else’s genitalia on the towel with the same gloves that he has on they might’ve blue their nose inside that towel. You know they wash behind drying off are you gonna let him hand you a towel and you pay $16 and you don’t say anything $18 for a shower that should be the biggest problem. We have sanitary food prices if you don’t make me pay for some food at a truckstop I shouldn’t have to buy what you sell man bring some more franchise. I’ll bring white castle bringing in Jersey Mike’s Jimmy John’s bring in Chinese restaurants I mean, if you wanna do it like that you might as well go out yo man call me for interview man you wanna talk to me yo man, we could chop it up over the phone man or we could do whatever you know what I mean video Skype, whatever man I’ll get tired of listening to some of these cats out here man the guys you’ve been interviewing for years mate I don’t never tell it man I like the way you supposed to tell it you gotta cover the whole globe man cover a hole with Ty scenario not just make one thing be the indoor indoor cause it ain’t the one thing the major one thing that it is is the brokers the work wouldn’t be cheap if you had no brokers.
Outlaw automatic trucks and the clueless DEI steering wheel holders who cause all of the problems
Hours of service not enough huh? You know dam well how tired we are after driving 11 fucking hours in a day come on. I think hours of service is a bad thing. Look at all these companies editing logs.... Florida companies..... SUPER EGO..... They push they edit logs and you know it and you should report that more because drivers are falling for the scam.
Get rid of all brokers that do not own no more than 10 trucks broker should not be allowed to bid on work with no trucks and give you a bullshit ass price. If you do not have any working trucks in the game and we need at least 10 more working trucks if you do not have 10 working trucks calendar year as a broker, you should not be bidding on work all that other stuff don’t matter this is the cord of the problem. If you get rid of the brokers, you’ll get your money. You can’t get your money. If you got the middleman, you be on the work directly with the manufacture that way it keep the whole board running at a fair rate nobody’s bidding on a work for dirt cheap Nobody stealing they gonna try to find a way, but the brokers already got you in the back pocket get rid of all brokers that do not own 10 or more trucks that working every year throughout the whole entire year you’re a broker and you don’t own no trucks you shouldn’t be in a game.
Creatie pileups and expect Insurance to go down?
Dumb is going to wreck your industrie.

Remember Trump said he was going to do away with my bad regulations that cost people money. ELDs it that exactly and they have been found to be unsafe. Let's see what he does, my guess is nothy
💥💥👉👉Millions of truckers write to Trump at True Social he will see and take notice😮🤔👉👍🙏👍👍
HOS ARE NOT GOING AWAY, Run LEGAL, Run Team if you have to get the freight to destination on a tight schedule. I made $125k on a W2 in 2024 running legally in LTL on E LOGS in a 66mph truck. Most of you guys should not even be in business if you cannot run legally. Quit hauling cheap freight. I sold my truck in 2009. I can do math and calculate my costs per mile and compare to what I could do as a company driver with benefits.
It’s not about running “illegal”, it’s about having autonomy. We are completely over regulated as an industry.
Gotta have your own authority.
The golden era 1960? this guy aint been in america but 2 years maybe who is he. matter of fact who are you?
Lmao trump don't care bout yall
to many non truckers are buying up the older trucks and butchering them up
Immigration

Trump WILL change things fast in support of the trucking industry. Hold on to your boot straps because it will be something that you have never seen before.
@@kingdomfighter23 I hope so
prayers it's true
Wow, wrong answer. No more new authorities put a freeze on new authorities. The democrats deregulated trucking so more people could get in to provide competition to keep rates down for billionaires who want to keep shipping costs down. Now there are so many trucks that tax payers are paying for new parking. Insurance is high because of the flood of new trucks, when there were less trucks the insurance companies competed for your business by offering better rates. It must go back to the old way. In the past the only way to get an authority was to buy one from a company that was closed or closing. Alex I hope you read this.
Bullshit,Reagan Deregulated,Get Your Facts Straight
HOS, DOT PHYSICAL, ELD.
