Halted NYC Congestion Pricing Plan, Show Trucks, and The Uneducated On Social Media.
06/10/24 • 15 min
Can congested city streets and tolls cripple the trucking industry, or is there more to the story? Join me, Walter Gatlin, on the Rollin' 18 Podcast as we break down New York Governor Kathy Hochul's surprising decision to indefinitely halt the NYC congestion pricing plan. We'll uncover the factors at play, from the pressures exerted by the Trucking Association of New York to the economic aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic. Discover the financial impact these tolls could have had on truckers and motorists alike and delve into the legal battles questioning the constitutionality of such measures. This episode is a must-listen for truckers navigating the economic realities of operating in high-tax states like New York and California.
Moving on to logistics, let's discuss a less glamorous but equally vital topic: load securing. The episode underscores the shared responsibility between manufacturers and truck drivers to ensure that loads are tightly packed and stable. Improperly secured cargo isn’t just a nuisance; it’s a safety hazard. I've got tips on how to manage these challenges effectively, and as a bonus, advice on maintaining professionalism online. Avoiding unproductive arguments is key to staying focused on the road. This episode is packed with insights that are crucial for a successful and safe trucking career. Tune in for practical tips and industry updates that every trucker needs to hear.

Rolling Past Political Rifts: Emphasizing Human Connections
Ever felt like politics is tearing apart your personal relationships? Join me, Walter Gatlin, on this episode of Rollin' 18 Podcast as I tackle the polarizing nature of politics and why I’ve chosen to steer clear of political discussions. As America faces a staggering $36 trillion debt, I question the impact this will have on our children and grandchildren. More importantly, I ponder why people are willing to sacrifice lifelong relationships for single-issue politics. My journey down the road offers a fresh perspective on why maintaining personal connections should take precedence over political affiliations.
In this episode, I explore the unfortunate reality of how politicians rarely reciprocate the support of their followers and the erosion of the middle class. I reflect on the ways America seems to have strayed from its foundational principles, and why the current political climate feels more divisive than ever. So grab your coffee, hop on board, and let's keep the conversation going, minus the politics.
