Bringing Tacos To Stranded Truckers

Have you heard a heartwarming story about a snow plow driver who decided to help stranded truck drivers by bringing them food?

He received a lot of support and donations from other people who wanted to join his cause. He was able to feed many truck drivers who were stuck on the road due to a closure. He also showed appreciation and respect for the trucking industry and the role they play in society.

While I adore tacos, I also have terrible taco snobbery. I only prefer my food served from a truck in a Los Angeles parking lot. They need to be little, delicious, and ridiculously affordable.

This story has been told to me, and I believe it's fantastic. The snow plow operator was really generous and friendly to the stranded truck drivers. He also increased his understanding of the difficulties and significance of trucking. I'm delighted other individuals who wished to support his cause gave him money and assistance.

Here is the story:

The trucking industry is thanking a WYDOT snow plow driver for going above and above to offer food and beverages for truckers stranded amid a significant snowfall.

Plow driver Jaron Fry started to notice more and more stopped trucks in the Evanston region as I-80 in Wyoming was being closed for extended periods of time due to severe winter weather.

Fry, a former truck driver, is aware of the difficulty truckers have in locating food during severe winter weather situations.

Using social media, Fry started to inform the trapped truckers that he was gathering food for them during his downtime and urged them to send him a Facebook private message or to 'turn your flashers on, and I will stop by.' In an effort to get extra supplies for the stranded drivers, he also started taking Venmo donations.

The truck drivers who contacted Fry received Taco Bell tacos, McDonald's morning burritos, Jimmy John's sandwiches, and bottled water.

Fry expressed appreciation for both the truckers' efforts to keep the country running and for those who worked or gave money to assist him in feeding the drivers.

FMCSA seeks comments on 18-20 year olds

A request from a less-than-truckload carrier appears to have prompted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to consider a change in the federal apprenticeship program created to attract younger drivers to the trucking industry.

An FMCSA posting in the Federal Register today says the agency seeks comments on a request from Pittsburg-based carrier Pitt Ohio to allow it to accept participants into its apprenticeship program who have a commercial learner`s permit instead of a CDL as stipulated in the regulations that created the Safe Driver Apprenticeship Pilot.

I’m opposed to this proposal. I don’t think 18-20 year olds have enough experience or maturity to handle the challenges and responsibilities of long-haul trucking. They will be driving huge vehicles that can cause serious damage if they make a mistake or get distracted. They will also face fatigue, stress, and pressure from shippers and carriers.

Recall Freightliner and Western Star models

Have you heard this news?


"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued for several Dailer Truck North America models, one for a brake issue and the other for a potential problem with a foldable upper bunk. Daimler Truck North America is recalling certain Freightliner and Western Star vehicles produced over the past six years for modular valve corrosion that might cause brake pull. The affected vehicles include some model year 2017-2023 Freightliner Cascadia trucks, 2022-23 Western Star 47X, Western Star 49X, and 2022 Freightliner 114SD vehicles. The NHTSA said potentially nearly 70,000 vehicles are affected by this recall."


"The brake modulator valves on the front axle might corrode and cause the vehicle to pull to the affected side during braking initiated by electronic stability control (ESC) or roll stability control (RSC), according to NHTSA."

Self Driving Trucks Company in Trouble

I’ve said for years this whole thing is a scam and it’s not practical and it just ain’t happening in our lifetimes The company is losing money. TuSimple reported only $4.9 million in revenue and $220.5 million in losses for the first half of 2022.

The transport company for the production of self-driving trucks Tu Simple reported full losses for the past 2022. In total, in the second half of 2022, they managed to earn only $ 4.9 million. Losses in the same period amounted to as much as $ 220 million. Why did this happen?

The management of Tu Simple believes that the losses occurred due to people's lack of confidence in self-driving trucks. Perhaps it's the lack of work of a PR company that could not prove the safety of such a vehicle. Now the company plans to suspend the development of projects and the production of new self-driving trucks. Their goal is to improve the already released samples and offer customers the opportunity for more profitable cargo transportation.

Due to the current situation, Tu Simple is considering laying off as many as 700 employees. The San Diego-based tech company, which operates in Arizona, Texas, and China, now employs about 1,430 full-time employees. Layoffs are necessary to stabilize the current situation partially. However, the one-time dismissal of such a number of employees can lead to an increase in unemployment in the region.

Yellow graduating 1,000 new CDL holders

Yellow Corporation announced it graduated more than 1,000 CDL apprentices from its network of driving academies in 2022.

Yellow Corporation is a large American transportation holding company that announced that in 2022 it could train more than 1,000 CDL drivers. Their driving schools showed productive results, which they plan to repeat in 2023.

How did Yellow Corporation manage it? An impressive result was achieved thanks to expanding the driving school network to 21 locations in 16 American states. In this way, in just 12 months, the number of graduates of the school has grown to 1,000 people.

Yellow Corporation themselves claim that such a result is a breakthrough for them and an impetus for even greater company expansion. They also thank all employees and, first of all, instructors of all driving schools. Thanks to their skilled work, the number of positive reviews about the school is growing, and the number of students is growing. Darren Hawkins, CEO of Yellow Corporation, confidently asserts that their graduates are qualified specialists. It is not so easy to pass the exam at school because the road is a dangerous place where you cannot send specialists who are not fully ready.

In 2023, the company plans to cooperate extensively with the US Department of Labor, as a result of which new driving schools and new paid programs will be opened. According to the sponsorship of the Ministry of Labor, more accessible places for training will be allocated, and hourly payments will be made to scholarship students.
