Tackling Industry Myths: Driver Wages, Cross-Border Disparities.

Ever wondered why the trucking industry faces challenges despite millions of drivers on the road? Join me, Walter Gatlin, as I promise to uncover the real issues plaguing the trucking world, from the myth of driver shortages to the pressing need for respect and incentives. With over 72% of the country's freight tonnage being moved by trucks, the importance of this industry is clear, yet drivers face a struggle for recognition and fair wages. As part of our journey, I also share my passion for vinyl records through my project Vinyl Bound and recommend the thrilling series "Lioness" on Prime for those moments when you need a break.

Let's shift gears and address the stark wage disparities that truck drivers face across borders. Discover the significant differences in pay between U.S. and Mexican truck drivers and delve into the gender pay gaps affecting women in the industry. Reflecting on the history of trucking wages, we advocate for fair compensation and unity among drivers to create a more equitable environment. Safety and community remain our top priorities, so stay connected with the Rolling 18 Podcast community through social media, and let's work together to uplift every driver on the road.
