Trucking Quaaludes & Rioters. This week on TalkCDL we covered many topics. Of course everything is about trucking. We spoke about quaaludes. Do you remember this drug from way back? It has been a long time since it has been mentioned in fact maybe since the early 90’s. At one time quaaludes were the downer that most druggies used to bring them down but since has been long forgotten. Until now. A trucker in Africa was caught trying to hide a bag in the woods before an inspection. He was later apprehended and searched. Come to find out he had a big bag of, you guessed it, quaaludes. We thought this would make an interesting story.
How to deal with rioters
Trucking Quaaludes & Rioters. We came across a drivers Qualcomm message that displayed a message from his authorities. The message was advice on how to deal with rioters. We are not sure if the message was real but the wording was very interesting. The driver was told to approach the crowd by blowing the horn. The driver was told to move toward the rioters at a speed safe enough for them to move out of the semi trucks way but not too slow that a rioter could jump onto the truck. He was also told that if he hit a rioter to escape safely and then call the authorities. Okay so is this advice you would give a driver? If you are a driver, is this advice you would follow? Let us know what you think of these words of wisdom.
Facebook Live Feed
We started this weeks podcast on Facebook live. We were testing out some lapel mics and thought we would include a live audience. It went over well and we had allot of fun with the audience. We mentioned everyone that participated in the live feed at the end of the podcast. If you were part of the show, we mentioned your name.
