@CharlesTXPolicy @johnarnold @InnovateEconomy Because with all kinds of "magic" you need insight for the proper "incantation". In other words, you need the right language and that always comes with experience.

I'm not sure I agree that this technology favors the young. Its really the first example I've seen of a tech rollout that breaks this pattern.
But in my experience thus far, the younger users aren't able to wield it as well as mid career or later professionals who have enough experience to properly manage the tech.

This trend will reverse soon, with lower-salaried, AI-native recent grads favored over older, less-flexible employees.

@supertrucker It is not a required field in the CDLIS documentation. You would need to get 51 jurisdictions to add the flag to their databases so the data could follow through the inspections. Not easy.

Only way to spot them is by looking for English Language Proficiency violations.
Carrier411 Services, Inc.@realcarrier411
💥Major FMCSA Safety Blind Spot💥 FMCSA tracks hundreds of thousands of crashes and inspections… but provides ZERO visibility on which carriers use drivers with non-domiciled CDLs. No flag in crash reports. No carrier-level indicator. No link between crashes and license type. Brokers and shippers have to select carriers based safety and many other considerations while missing one of the biggest risk factors in trucking right now. This data gap needs to be closed. Brokers and shippers deserve the full picture. What's your take - should this be fixed?

Texas is going from 40 Data Centers to over 400 in the next 2 years - Texas could use 30% of US data center power demand by 2028 - By 2030 the Texas data centers could use 161 billion gallons of water per year - The 400 data centers will use the equivalent of 9 million homes in energy usage every year I don’t want to EVER hear the words climate change ever again

A shocking new study finds that the desire for children has collapsed among young people in China.
In the most recent data some 32% of 18–24-year-olds, and nearly half of young women, said they don't want any children at all. 🧵.

This is actually where my yard was on yadkin Road in Chesapeake Virginia. I can't tell you how many of my drivers try to beat this friggin train drove me insane. About 6 vehicle-train crossing crashes happen every day in the US.
FMCSA says a first railroad-highway grade crossing offense = at least 60 days disqualification, 120 days for a second, and 1 year for a third in 3 years. Hazmat cargo tanks and passenger buses are among the CMVs required to stop at certain crossings.
You cannot beat a train. You usually cannot survive one. You can lose your CDL trying.
English
Third party is the only answer to this. Since the government simply cannot stop spending.
Matthew Leffler@ArmchairAtty
What is my takeaway on Montgomery? @FMCSA & @USDOT need a LOT more resources to audit motor carriers. If brokers can be held for negligent hiring, the flood gates of litigation are wide open. We all want safer roads, but when 94% of motor carriers have no safety rating & when the national OOS rate is 22% (And currently 32% of vehicles inspected during International Roadcheck are being placed OOS) something has to give.

@realJeremyCarl I was raised in 900 square feet and at one point as an adult had 1350 square feet with 7 people. You figure it out.
English
This is nuts.
When our third child was born, we were living in a 1330 Square foot house, and while we moved to a larger place soon thereafter, until our oldest was 13, we raised five children in a 2500 square foot house and things were just fine.
Plenty of Americans have large families in houses far smaller than those described above.
When we finally moved to Montana and into our much larger house, we certainly appreciated the extra space, but we never felt like it was necessary for our family to thrive.
I know things are tough out there for Zoomers and young Millenials, but people also need to just suck it up and deal.

@adamlwingfield @maybedanielleee At one point, Massachusetts refused to accept ANY CDLs from Florida for a transfer of license. The applicant had to provide 2 years of demonstrable employment. That's because there was so much concern about people traveling to FL to obtain a CDL and flip it to a MA one.
English
@maybedanielleee Florida has the fourth largest percentage of foreign-born residents as well so this doesn’t come as a surprise. But their governor paints a different picture in terms of how he portrays their focus on compliance tho…
English
Oh, Florida has issued 16,000 to 20,000 non-domiciled CDLs.

Two pieces about trucking in CBS today, this one at 9am on the news and then part two of the 60 Minutes thing on SuperEgo and chameleon carriers later this evening.
Rob has contributed his research and investigative work to both, and you should watch.
Rob Carpenter@RobCarpenter
Drivers, brokers and industry folks should watch @CBSNews Sunday Morning. I did a little work on this one too. Segments called "DEADLY ROADS – Jim Axelrod has a new CBS News investigation into the surging number of deadly truck accidents and how one company is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, looking to shield itself from lawsuits that follow crashes." You should all know who "the company before the Supreme Court" is. paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-news-and-s…
