Revoked by the FMCSA??

Happy Monday.  I hope your Monday is a great day, but sometimes Mondays don't turn out that way.  If you have gotten this bad news, here's some helpful advice. I received this video from Penny at Evilsizer about reinstatement issues.  Listen to the expert navigate your way back to smooth sailing.  

 

Reinstatement Issues Did you get revoked by the FMCSA? There's been a couple of issues regarding the BOC-3 filing with the FMCSA lately.  April 5th, 2022 the FMCSA mailed out a letter if your BOC was not on file.  They gave you 30 days to comply.     If the BOC was not filed they issued a revocation notice and inactivated your authority.   I created a quick video to explain why this happened and the steps it will take to reactivate your authority if this applies to you.         Click below to watch the video.

Good Friday

Good morning to you on this Good Friday. We all need some good news in our world today.  There are too many things causing discord and disunity.  Today let us think about all that is good, all that brings us together.  We live in a world of different beliefs and I appreciate others right to decide what to believe. I believe in the God that sent His son as the savior of the world.
 

When I go hiking, the downhill is so easy.  It hardly takes any effort to go downward.  Likewise, it is easy to criticize, to grumble, finding fault everywhere.  Today, Good Friday we should purpose to do the most good, think the most good and find the good in every situation.  Today is called Good Friday because it is the day Christ did the most good.  He died to set men free, all men, good and bad.  A good person might die for another good person but who would die for the worst of sinners?  Jesus Christ did.

 There is no greater love than when one lays down his life for a friend.  Jesus laid down his life for all of mankind on the "Good Friday" 2022 years ago.

No Convoy Needed

I spend a lot of my day interacting with carriers and shippers. I am often asked my thoughts on the "trucker's strike" that has made the news in Canada and iscoming to America.

Truckers organizing "The People's Convoy" are set to leave California and travel to Washington DC to protest "vaccine mandates" February 23. Yet according to Overdrive   "OSHA clarified vax mandates wouldn't apply to most truck drivers.    The ETS (emergency temporary standards) does not apply to individuals who work alone.  The labor secretary reinforced this in a statement to CNBC.

Truck drivers are usually in a cab by themselves when they are driving across country.

Most news sources claim the truckers are mad about vaccination mandates.

That is a small piece of what has gotten them stirred up. As reported in Landline media, Brian Brase, an organizer of the convoy, says it is not about vaccines at all but about "human and constitutional rights".

 

 I've been in the transportation industry for over 3 decades.  I am a huge advocate for truckers.  They keep our economy going.  They have an important and very exhausting job.  Without those hardworking men and women America's economy would come to a screeching halt.

 Profit margin for a trucker is only about 5%. As long as I've been talking with truck drivers they have been frustrated with the costs that limit their profit.  The drivers drive and maintain their truck.  They farm out everything else to brokers, factoring companies, etc.  Their frustrations are fueled by listening to other drivers and reading stuff on the internet.

 As an advocate, I thrive on teaching these amazing people ways to help their bottom line.  So many truckers come through our school with a totally new outlook on their industry and better ways to run their business.  They think coming in that they understand the transportation industry but quickly learn it is a much bigger puzzle than what they've been putting together.

I invite all truck drivers to come through Brooke Transportation Training. They will learn how to find their own loads, how to streamline their operation and be inspired to greater heights.

Call me 214-206-1169 and I can tell your more.  No pressure, we will just talk through

your situation and I'll tell you my thoughts.  I always have a lot of thoughts.

Enjoy a Day filled with Thanksgiving

On this Thanksgiving Day I’m reflecting on the amazing blessings dropped in my lap.  I’m thankful for a God of second chances.  He has graciously picked me up from the mud and let me start over.   

I am incredibly blessed with 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters, each talented in their own special way.  

 

I love and respect my handful of friends.  They treat me with love and respect.  I am thankful I get to work with them in my business.

 

I am thankful for my little cabin on the lake and for my walking buddy dog, Dasher. 

 

 Most of all I am thankful for the beautiful gift God gave me in my wife, Janis.  I love doing life with her.  

 

Happy Thanksgiving,

Thank a Vet

Today is Veteran's Day (originally called Armistice day) set aside to honor those who have served our country and served us in many ways.  It is a national holiday established to celebrate the end of World War I.  I have had the honor and privilege to meet and train many veterans in our freight broker training school.  I highly respect these men and women.  I have found them to be self sacrificing and disciplined.  They excel in our school and go on to be successful brokers.  Their discipline and loyalty is heartwarming.

Our military is a peace keeping organization. Their goal is not aggression but order.  We don't  go out to conquer but to bring peace to all nations.  I am proud of that.  Other nations go out to conquer, dominate and take over.  That is not the goal of our military.  

Take time today to thank someone who has served in the military.

Moving forward,
