Our upcoming shows:
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 at 7 PM EST – Truckers Convoy Aims to Rescue California Farmers From EPA Drought – Water restrictions that were imposed by our Federal Government in order to protect a little fish called the Delta Smelt, is putting California farmers out of business. The situation is so bad, that a convoy of 18-wheelers are being put together in order to bring trailer loads of food to the farmers and those within the area facing the high loss of jobs and income. Join Allen for this SPECIAL broadcast detailing how EPA regulations have made a tiny fish more important than our American farmers, and how truckers are working to bring relief to those in need. Special guests: JB and Fred Shaffner of The American Driver.
Thursday, September 17th, 2009 at 3 PM EST : American Trucking and Opening the Mexican Border. Opening Mexico’s border and allowing their trucks to run through our 48 states could prove disastrous for the American driver. Most companies and organizations write that they are against this plan, but are they really? Or is this a plan that has been secretly building in the background for years? With a combined driving experience of 65 years, Allen and co-host Barry Szczucki takes a look at what opening the Mexican border could do to the American trucker. Special guest: Daniel Audet of The Truck Star.

Truckers State of Mind
Posted by Allen Smith in Safety, Talk Radio Show, Truck Driving Jobs, Truckers Health, otr trucking, trucking, trucking life on February 13th, 2009

Trucker. One simple word, yet it creates a multitude of images in our minds: The outlaw, the loner, the renegade … one individual who won’t take anything from anybody. Truckers have a rough lifestyle. A life that very few people can even comprehend. A lifestyle, that not many could even handle. Faced with stressful situations on a daily basis, what can truckers do to maintain a healthy and happy state of mind. Is it possible to just be “happy” with the life as a trucker? The image of the trucker is often misconstrued. Truth is, they are the most professional drivers on the road.
Allen, along with co-host, Barry Szczucki, explores the truckers state of mind on the next broadcast of Truth About Trucking “LIVE” – Sunday, February 15th, 2009 at 3 PM EST
Hope to see you there!

Florida Petroleum Carriers Ready for Hurricane Season
Posted by Allen Smith in Truck Driving Jobs, trucking, trucking companies on April 8th, 2007
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th. As the previous years have shown, this can be a treacherous and even deadly time for those affected regions. Hopefully, we will have a repeat of 2006 where none of these killer storms reached the U.S. coast. During these times, thousands of dedicated workers operate behind the scenes performing tasks many never even realize. The professionals in truck driving are no exception.
In 2004 we witnessed hurricanes’ Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne tear across the state, and in 2005 the world was introduced to hurricane Katrina. The supply of gasoline dropped causing a certain group of truck driving professionals to test their stamina and skills. These are the petroleum carriers . . . the men and women who run 24/7, 365 days to get the gas to the pumps for the consumer.
Barry Szczucki is a driver for Pipeline Transportation, and is one of the best in the business. He has said that he will never forget 2005. “There was no gas anywhere! All the pumps were dry. It was so bad that Governor Bush lifted the ‘hours of service rule’ for gas haulers. We ran nonstop getting the gas to the stores. At one point, I had about 10 police cars behind me, following me to the pump because they were all just about out of gas!”
Pipeline Transportation, based out of Jacksonville, Florida is Florida’s Premier Petroleum Carrier. When the hurricane season rolls around, they, like the others, gear up for the potential over load of petroleum demand. “It can be a very trying and demanding time,” Mr. Szczucki said, “but Pipeline’s main goal is getting the product to our customer so they can meet the goals for their customers.”
Truck driving jobs are demanding enough, but those drivers with the extra skills and training, adhere to an even higher standard. Petroleum carriers covering the regions affected by hurricanes stand ready and willing to meet the needs of the people. With a little luck, 2007 will be a repeat of 2006. But, as a leader in top driver pay and transportation safety, trucking companies like Pipeline Transportation are ready to meet the call if this season is an active one.
