VIDEO: Jake braking trucker has tips on how to avoid using the runaway ramp on Fancy Gap
The video depicts the dash cammer’s apprehension when a speeding truck overtakes them while they drive at approximately 60 m.p.h. down Fancy Gap. As the video continues, the dash cammer grows increasingly worried about the other driver’s ability to manage their brakes. The footage includes both forward-facing and driver-facing views of the event, accompanied by commentary and guidance for truckers who encounter comparable scenarios on steep inclines. The video also showcases an abundance of Jake brake audio, allowing the audience to observe how the dash cammer descends while utilizing this braking system.
Frugality only goes so far after getting used to $4/mile freight, but Jay Hosty's staying choosy
Having a tendency towards frugality is an advantageous trait that most individuals in the world today possess, including owner-operators, I would venture to say. This attribute is also a key factor in the enduring success of Jay Hosty, our Trucker of the Month for April, who has been an owner-operator in the trucking industry for 41 years. As stated in our profile of Hosty by Overdrive News Editor Matt Cole, he began his career as an owner-operator hauling containers in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the ripe age of 19 in 1981.
Why road safety is in everyone’s best interest
While truck driving can be a gratifying profession, it is not without its challenges. One of the most significant sources of anxiety for drivers and fleet owners alike is the driver safety ratings issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). A driver’s standing or DOT safety rating is crucial to their status as a motor carrier and can also affect the reputation of the trucking companies they are associated with.
Truck transportation jobs aren’t afraid of heights; they rose again in April
Despite a freight recession, the trucking industry in the United States is still increasing its workforce. According to the April report, which was released on Friday, the seasonally adjusted number of jobs in the truck transportation sector increased by 3,000 to a total of 1,612,500 jobs. However, this followed a downward adjustment from the previously reported figure for March, which was decreased by 2,500 jobs to 1,609,500 jobs.
US truck drivers push for better working conditions: ‘We’ve lost our patience’
Truck drivers in the United States are advocating for federal intervention to tackle what they believe are worsening working conditions, diminishing wages, and widespread deceit. Caleb Fernandez, who has been a long-haul truck driver since 2017, revealed that he frequently spends numerous hours waiting for his cargo to be loaded or unloaded without receiving compensation for his time. This waiting time can extend to several hours, causing significant disruptions to his weekly schedule, but he does not receive any remuneration for those unproductive hours.
