Another big problem that people don't talk about enough is the sabotage of the diesel engine, by the EPA. The diesel engine is, without exaggeration, the very heart of the economy. Without it food isn't planted or harvested, goods aren't shipped, heavy work vehicles can't keep utilities running, society grinds to a halt. Through EPA regulations, diesel engines are getting more expensive, less reliable and less efficient.

The EPA is responsible for extraordinary increases to the cost of living through multiple regulations that do more harm than good to the environment, a leader needs to be elected that will nuke the EPA.

The whole trucking industry in the US is a mess, I work in the UK and 99% of truck drivers over here work for companies so we get paid regardless of the loads we move and the practice of paid by the mile is illegal over here as it encourages drivers to speed and cut corners, the big industry over in the US just takes the piss out of the US truckers and will always pay as little as possible, maybe you truckers in the US need to get together and make a stand against the corporate greed because it will only get worse

What happened is the scammers from India became drivers and brokers

No one is mentioning the high fuel prices, high insurance and high shop rates.

Every trucker I talk to basically says the same thing.

Mass amounts of immigrants that take every single job regardless of pay and lower the rates for everyone, and at the same time the unskilled drivers are wreaking so many loads the insurance rates are also skyrocketing

[XavierPoncet]

One thing would help is increase the standard to be a truck driver, the market filled with immigrants who easily get CDLs assisted by the government who don’t know a single word of English, they would do any load for cheap

[rollingwiththechanges]

Most of it are massive trucking companies who control the industry driving down rates to undercut smaller companies and O/O. This is why we need checks and balances in place to regulate monopolies on industry

Truckers went from hero to zero
My brother had a trucking company and he increased to 8 trucks and NOW he has one truck and works as a lease operator

#1 problem with guys who jump from a company truck to there own is hardly none of them can repair there own equipment they are at the mercy of other men.

Too many foreigners flooded the trucking game !

Also, big transportation companies, such as Amazon, started to ship their containers through rail due to the skyrocketing cost of shipping and the lack of capacity. BSNF was charging around $ 0.65 per mile while we were charging $ 3.00. Within 2021-2022, railhead intermodal interstate operations more than quadrupled across US. This meant more intermodal loads and less dry van loads.

I run a truck wash, and can tell you a huge percentage of drivers are Indian and Eastern European, and mostly from Canada. They don't know a word of English. They have Google Maps in their own language, which "enables" them drive. We have them pull up to the EXIT of our bay daily. They literally cannot read "EXIT". I used to trust truck drivers, but recommend people watch their backs now days.

When the lockdown happened i started cutting back on physical items. Now im buying even less. Im part of the problem. Very informative video. Cheers!

The average truck driver works 100 hours a week, we tell the cops we work 70, and we get paid for 50.😅

[ChefBoyR-B]

If flip floppers would stop hauling for $22 and a half eaten sandwich, that would improve 50% of the market...

[Albertalorian]

Been an absolute bloodbath in Canada, also one thing that wasn't mentioned. The Average consumer is now BROKE!!!! Yes, Canada, the US and Mexico, people are BROKE!!! the volumes pre 2020 are not coming back!

[ericjamison]

I would caution with estimating on this year's holiday season as people are losing work and credit card usage is pretty well maxed out

[RonnSkippa]

Also the thousands of brokerage and dispatch companies that flooded the market really nail the coffin shut.

[ColtynPapenfuss-nzoq]

The reason why it sucks rn is bc foreigners start trucking and alot of trucks are on the road so companies dont have alot of stock anymore. It used to be good, now it sucks

[soronir]

Tried trucking. Too many regulations, hoops to jump through, ect. Quit not long into it.
