TRUCKING’S TALKING HEADS is Now Available on Amazon. This book is not an attack on any individual. The strongest argument in the book is that truck drivers have become fragmented into media tribes, personalities, outrage cycles, and splinter movements while institutions such as the ATA, FreightWaves, OOIDA, regulators, carriers, and freight-tech companies continue shaping the future of the industry. The conclusion is simple: drivers should spend less time focused on personalities and more time understanding the institutions, policies, and incentives that influence their lives and livelihoods. Whether you agree with every conclusion or not, my goal was to encourage drivers to think critically, ask difficult questions, and look beyond the daily noise of social media. The future of trucking will not be determined by the loudest voices online. It will be determined by the people, policies, organizations, and technologies that shape the industry behind the scenes. I also want people to know that I do not personally profit from any of my books. All proceeds go to GO GO GO Street Ministry to help people in need. When you purchase one of my books, you are not only supporting my writing, you are helping support ministry efforts that provide hope, encouragement, and practical assistance to others. Thank you for your support. It means more than you know. Now Available 👉 a.co/d/02DVggbS — Will Cook A Driver’s Perspective

What concerns me is that many of the industry’s biggest platforms, sponsors, and influencers are connected—directly or indirectly—to the corporate side of trucking. That doesn’t automatically make them wrong. But it does make me pay attention to what topics receive attention and what topics do not.

🚨Not so Shocking News!! CH Robinson identified as the Freight Broker involved in the Fatal U Turn Crash in Florida last August. Victims have now filed suit. News story from WPTV below in the comments 👇

I believe the industry’s most influential media voices have become more connected to executives, technology companies, investors, and large carriers than to the independent drivers who actually move the freight. Just #ADriversPerspective

If a trucking media platform is primarily funded by advertising, sponsorships, events, and relationships with large industry players, can it truly function as a driver-first publication?

It’s Not What These Talking Heads Say- It’s What They Won’t Say… 😉

H-1B ( There’s a difference ) One of the biggest misconceptions in the H-1B and foreign labor debate is the idea that a driver is “available” simply because they hold a CDL. No. A driver is only available if they are willing to work under the pay, conditions, and lifestyle being offered. If a trucking company cannot attract enough drivers, the first question should not be, “How do we import more labor?” The first question should be, “Why don’t drivers want to work here?” Before any company is allowed to claim a labor shortage, they should be required to demonstrate that they have made meaningful efforts to improve pay, benefits, working conditions, detention policies, home time, equipment quality, and overall treatment of drivers. A company’s desire to haul more freight is not proof of a labor shortage. A company’s desire to expand profits is not proof of a labor shortage. A company’s inability to recruit drivers at the wages and conditions it wants to offer is not proof of a labor shortage. In every other market, when demand exceeds supply, prices rise. Labor is no different. If drivers are refusing the job, the answer may not be more visas. The answer may be creating jobs drivers actually want. That’s not anti-immigrant. That’s basic economics. A labor shortage exists when employers cannot find workers at competitive market wages and conditions. It does not exist simply because employers cannot find workers willing to accept less.

The United States just completely obliterated Iran's top secret Fordow nuclear facility with 6 huge bunker buster bombs. Two other major Iranian nuclear sites, Natanz and Estefan, were wiped out with 30 Tomahawk missiles launched by American submarines some 400 miles away.

Once Saved, Always Saved? is now available on Amazon. This is the first book in my Truth Within Reach: The Bottom Shelf Series, written for everyday people who want straightforward answers from Scripture. No seminary degree required. No complicated theological language. Just an honest look at one of the most debated questions in Christianity: If someone is truly saved, can they lose their salvation? This book examines what the Bible actually says about salvation, assurance, perseverance, faith, repentance, and self-examination. It is not written to condemn anyone. It is written to encourage believers to examine themselves in light of God’s Word and find confidence in Christ rather than in human opinions. As with all of my books, I do not personally profit from sales. Every dollar goes to support GO GO GO Street Ministry and help people in need. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about salvation, assurance, or what it truly means to follow Christ, I believe this book will challenge you, encourage you, and point you back to Scripture. Available now on Amazon. 👉 a.co/d/0gyNn0Vb

Photos like this should remind us that organized interests show up in Washington. The question shouldn’t be whether trucking is being represented. The question should be which parts of trucking are represented, and which parts of trucking are missing from the room. Just “#ADriversPerspective”
