BEFORE THE AI TRUCK-BOTS FROM AMAZON TAKE OVER
One of the main challenges in trucking is the ability to find individuals who are fine by themselves independent problem solvers with an almost autistic ability to focus

"THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY, the backbone of the U.S. economy, is carrying more weight than ever despite a critical shortage of drivers. And now this compression point is sending waves of pain through the supply chain from distributors and wholesalers to retailers and consumers in the form of fast-rising shipping costs. Even Amazon and its Prime members are feeling the pinch.

This predicament was a long time coming. An aging driver population that continues to dwindle owing to retirement—combined with a lack of younger workers coming into the industry—is a problem that has been festering for 15 years. The Great Recession and the years of recovery that followed largely masked the problem. But by 2012, with the U.S. economy strengthening, fissures began to show.

Trucks moved more than 70% of all U.S. freight and generated $719 billion in revenue in 2017, according to the American Trucking Associations (ATA).

“We could see the demographics, and now they’re finally hitting home,” says Brian Fielkow, president and CEO of Jetco Delivery, a trucking and logistics company based in Houston. “This isn’t something we just woke up to.”

The pain point is specific. The industry calls them “full-truckload, over-the-road nonlocal drivers,” jargon for drivers who haul goods over long distances, often days, if not weeks, before returning home. That lifestyle just isn’t attracting millennials and the incoming Gen Z cohort who place a greater emphasis on work/life balance.

The long-haul sector, which employs around 500,000, was in need of nearly 51,000 truck drivers by the end of 2017, the worst shortage it had ever seen."

Quit teaching kids that you're a piece of shit if you don't go to college and maybe some will become truck drivers. AI truckbots is 8 million unemployed.

Back in the day drivers drove and didn't have to go through all the fucking classes and crap. These days it's a pain in the ass to get and keep your CDL. The drivers are held accountable for everything including not following the burdensome regulations that management insists you cheat to make a delivery on time so they can keep running narrower margins. And having to put up with so many more assholes on the road, it just isn't worth it.
Sooner they automate that end of things the better.

We used to have a way to move freight that only required 5, maybe 10 people per 100 trailers moved…. oh yeah! It was called RAIL.

Truckers are the stage coach haulers of the late 19th century, just waiting for steam and internal combustion to render them Amazon Greeters.

Put more freight on trains. Let railways use eminent domain to get the space they need for more track.

Railroading is one of the whitest industries left tbh, takes too much intelligence for most shitskins but the work is also too hard for most kikes.

What's the point of this thread?

Trucking companies are corrupt as fuck. Every trucker knows this. They're EVIL. They deserve to lose their employees because they fuck them in the ass at every turn.

No there isn't
I could go on…

Now truckers ship most of our stuff and destroy highways via the massive ground pressure they inflict.

You've got that right. If you're a trucker, especially a long-haul trucker, you should be really angry about the trade wars and tariffs. Not only does this BS fuck your ability to bring goods to your local store, but it also fucks your ability to take agri-goods to market. Tariffs are a lose-lose situation for truckers.

Trump needs to learn not every one of his voters work in a steel mill. Some of us work downstream and are getting screwed.

Get it over with, Trump!

If they were smart and not Jews, they would build track like seperation lanes across the country for these autobots and clear up traffic everywhere for good. 99% of the reason traffic stalls outside of the biggest mexican filled nightmare dytopia cities are because of truckers.

Seperate paths, automated, a few crews to come out and town accidents with no casualties. It would run like German clockwork tbh. And we wouldn't have sleep deprived retards all over the road.


pro-tip:
NEVER EVER EVER drive next to a trucker, or right in front of them if you can help it. They are not professionals. They are abused employees checking their on-board screeching computer messages while half awake and can't see you.

This is the kind of wonderful conversations you'll get to have with your fellow truckers all the time. And since, besides shitposting on your phone and calling your family, these will be the only people you talk to.

And you need to learn that your fucking middle-class lifestyle doesn't negate the fact that China is a deadly Communist slave country with drawn-out military plans to kill us all and move over after they've dominated the market and crashed Western Civilization with the help of the (((Globalist))).

Open battle between striking teamsters armed with pipes and the police in the streets of Minneapolis, June 1934.
he Minneapolis general strike of 1934 grew out of a strike by Teamsters against most of the trucking companies operating in Minneapolis, the major distribution center for the Upper Midwest. The strike began on May 16, 1934 in the Market District (the modern day Warehouse District). The worst single day was Friday, July 20, called "Bloody Friday", when police shot at strikers in a downtown truck battle, killing two and injuring 67. Ensuing violence lasted periodically throughout the summer. The strike was formally ended on August 22.

With a coalition formed by local leaders associated with the Trotskyist Communist League of America, a group that later founded the Socialist Workers Party (United States), the strike paved the way for the organization of over-the-road drivers and the growth of the Teamsters labor union. This strike, along with the 1934 West Coast Longshore Strike and the 1934 Toledo Auto-Lite Strike led by the American Workers Party, were also important catalysts for the rise of industrial unionism in the 1930s, much of which was organized through the Congress of Industrial Organizations.

Let me know when niggers and spics are no long protected by state/city police when they violently protest on the highway.
Let me know when the job is worth it again.

Because unless the bas earnings are tripled right now or more; with the shit drivers have to go through, it isn't worth it.

Of course. Jesus F Christ how is it that you survived to your 25th birthday? (have you? good luck).

I am consistently amazed by how stupidly entitled and narcissistic the millennials can be about "I was told get the degree I loved" and yet also blame everyone else for their failures.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a skilled blue collar existence. There is also nothing wrong with a skilled white collar existence. The problem is with blue collar idiots who take out huge loans to get a useless degree because it's easy and then complain they're been screwed.

I'm starting to think it's a (((Deep-State))) strategy like MGTOW to keep the high IQs in Mexican jobs and out of power positions.

If you can solve logo-rythms with ease go to fucking college and get a STEM or law degree young/fags!

What is this an Antifa recruitment campaign to rid yourself of competition?

Sadly yes, without higher education you cannot get any political power, and people here think everything can only be solved with violence. It has to be a fucking conspiracy.

Its not like rail is unutilized- both rail capacity and trailer capacity are tight right now. You use trucks if you want to get your goods there in a few days rather than a few weeks. A team truck can get from CA to the southeast in two days. Amazon and general ecommerce would be incredibly slow if only rail was used for OTR.

And here we see how kikes got their hands on what used to be good unions. We also see why at this CY+3 how all unions are bad.

It's unnecessary. Always has been, but now more than ever. At it's best college was a way to close doors to skilled people that weren't connected, and at it's worst it's an indoctrination system controlled by those with the most money. All you need to learn is the will and maybe a mentor if it's a difficult skill, neither of which you will get in "higher education".

Infants don't go to "higher education" to decipher all the noises and behavior that the humans around them make, they figure it out through intense observation. They have the will. College is just an expensive IQ test.

Yeah if you live in a construction boom state like Washington. Say goodbye to everyone and move. Then you'll make good money.

Violence is what maintains control. You can prove this at the most basic level. Weak unstable dogs are attacked by other dogs. Weak unstable nations are attacked by other nations. The threat of violence is what either keeps the peace between two groups capable of deploying it, or allows one group to dominate another.

Not sure what you're even saying.
Unions now, as a fucking rule are garbage.
A century+ ago unions used to be good and help the worker, not help a (((political group))).

That wasn't always the case, as it is now. But everything, everywhere has morphed into Jew control from the 80's to now. It doesn't make me a commie. My point is if people are unwilling to fight, and use violence effectively they will get stomped on either way.

In US, you can live well if you're a skilled labourer, a welder, electrician or plumber can gain enough to sustain their family, while in other parts of the world, a job like that could hardly make ends meet with few exceptions.

We are now living under George HW Bush's New World Order. I don't see where it is going with AI, and Robotics, and self-driving trucks. tens of millions of people are going to lose jobs, all while Trump is having rallies saying unemployment is the lowest it's ever been. Self driving trucks need to meet IED's I think.


Whites are their own worst self judgemental enemy.

You're absolutely retarded. You get a job quicker by going and getting a job instead of spending years preparing to get one.
You job can do that too.
Dumbass.
Degree in what?

When I first watched the movie "The Killing Fields" I wondered how and why all of the intellectuals were slaughtered, now I understand why, and it should happen in all American Universities.

You failed your SATs, that's the real problem.

(checked)
thanks I'll look into manufacturing those in the USA

Keep trying, eventually you'll say something relevant by accident.

People paid money for having blabbing mouth. But that doesn't actually require a degree. I mean useful job like trucking we're talking about.

You can spend years of searching for a job alone and constantly being denied just by not going through college.
And no, nowadays they don't teach you how to do your job. Separate training is necessary. And degree serves as a proof of it.

She killed that homeless woman by texting instead of paying attention to the 'self driving vehicle'. I CAN'T WAIT until Semi's are equipped with this 'self driving technology' sounds just great…like what a great idea to load up several tons of cargo and leave it to a machine going 80+mph (whatever the company 'specified')

Who? What job? We're arguing about fucking ghosts.
It's serves as proof that you're smart enough to do as you're told and shut up. Not very inspiring to the kind of people you'd actually want to work for.

Who's been telling their dumb boomer parents to come to this site with their out of touch views on the world?

Dammit, i know college education can end up bad, but not all of them are THAT bad. Especially to say such outrageous things like that "modern view of the world" is not getting a higher education.

I used to drive. Its fucking brutal on your body sitting for 8+ hours a day.
I do not recommend. AI can have that tedious job. Leave humans to the forest roads and mining operations.

"Go to college" is as out of touch as you can possibly get, boomer faggot.

How much more of a nigger you can be?

Elders get respect if they deserve respect. Our ancestors, thousands and thousands of years ago deserve respect. Boomers don't.

given the most the truckers are boomers it seems like it's a problem that will fix itself within 20 years.

I'm going to school to become a geologist which is a great high paying job. Although school hasn't actually prepared me to actually work as a geologist, I expect to learn that the first day on the job. School however at this point is almost required for my field, geology as a trade is based in academia and research. Few degree paths actually lead to something decent, a lot of these kids even in other STEM fields are fucked.

Fuck off, kike.

No one wants to drive trucks long hours for no pay so some kike can make a buck off of garbage that cost less than $0.15 to make in China. The future is local goods. Take your recruitment tactics to monster or indeed. Maybe someone there will be dumb enough to bite.

Agreed on the first point (they have to go back), but w.r.t. the second point you cannot run illegal anymore really. Unless your eld is always "broken"… but the potential fines are NOT worth the short term cost savings.

Ironic, because I've been working in IT for 10 years and recently got fired by my troll cunt of a boss. After that experience I started to consider leaving IT and started looking into trucking.

The things that are starting to turn me off of trucking is you basically have to do at least a year with a mega and they don't pay shit and do fucked up shit like put cameras in your tuck's cab. I'm also a clean-freak so the thought of taking shits and showers in gas stations trips my OCD the fuck out.

I probably won't get into trucking unless I can figure out a way to get into it driving locally.

sounds like trump will crack down on it

fuck off torpedo kike everybody knows you need truckers to move military equipment and coal and steel and to rebuild the USA

nobody is buying what you are trying to sell, yid.

Yep, it's a jew. Gas yourself. I'm never sending anyone I know to be "taught" in one of your shithole universities. With any luck they'll be burnt to the ground you inside them.

To any user thinking about going into trucking. Just don't do it. The whole industry kiked and is built on fucking over drivers and that is just the short of it. Most companies try and talk people into becoming "owner operators" and leasing trucks. It is fucking slavery.
It really is a job of last resort.

Higher Education in its current form is a shakedown. Attending University has become seen as mandatory. Those with the means to attend therefore feel they have little choice but to do so and those who don’t readily have the means feel disadvantaged and therefore are motivated to find (demand) that they get to do so.

For most this translates into debt. At 18 and fresh out of mandatory education you will be eligible for almost no credit. A bank won’t extend you an unsecured business loan; you won’t be offered a mortgage etc. but should you decide to attend further education you will be extended 50k + of credit. Higher Education has become the perfect way to baptize the population into the world of usury almost the second they are legally eligible. Consider that it is possible to accept this high interest loan and then enroll in a degree that will almost certainly be of no benefit in the job market. Offering a teenager a 50k loan for a degree in “holocaust studies from the feminist perspective” is no different to offering an unemployed teenager a 50k loan to spend on an expensive holiday.

Whilst some fields absolutely require further education (medicine is an obvious example) many do not. Most jobs that require the applicant to have a degree did not in the past; it is often perfectly possible to learn in the fashion of an apprentice. Are we really to pretend that a buzzfeed hack churning out “articles” of Japanese breakfast cereal needed those three years if study?

There is no correlation to productivity and an excessively educated population, the data appears in fact to point in the opposite direction. When it comes to wage growth there has been no marked advantage for the average person, on the contrary wages stagnate and fall in many fields that have come to expect degrees. Many people with degrees must also perform unpaid labour for months of years post graduation in the form of internships.

In America unpaid student debt sits at 1.48 Trillian dollars. It’s a shakedown and it’s a shakedown in every country where further education is for profit.

I was a truck driver for a few years. Still hold my CDL just in case I'm forced back in. Terrible job simply because of the industry. I was even satisfied with my low wages. If it weren't for the boomers in charge of everything, I would do it for a living. I was fired, though, because I stood up to my boomer boss on principle.

I wanted to be a trucker at one point because I enjoyed traveling and the peace and quiet. But my father egged me on to go to college for a bachelor's in business management. Now I'm in massive debt and manage a convenience store for 18$ an hour. The fucking interest rises faster than I can pay it off, and I'm forced to hire unproductive entitled niggers. I really want to die.

explain this:

1) no whites go to college (your idea, from )
2) no whites go to medical school
3) ….
4) no whites are medical doctors, somehow (result from your idea)
