Gasoline Addiction

Hush your mouth and step aside if you’ve never driven one! Don’t judge us if you’ve never been us

When they say “driver shortage”…
they don’t mean no drivers.

They mean no drivers willing to pull doubles.

Hooking one trailer is work.
Hooking two is a different level.

Two sets of airlines.
Two electrical cords.
Two tandems to watch.
Twice the swing.
Twice the risk.

Backing? Forget it.
Planning turns? Better think three moves ahead.
Wind hits different.
Braking hits different.

One mistake with doubles
and it’s not a fender bender.

So yeah… there are drivers out here.
Plenty of them.

But not everyone wants to drag two trailers through traffic,
tight docks,
mountain passes,
and 40 mph crosswinds
for the same pay.

That’s the shortage.

Not drivers.

Drivers willing to do the hardest version of the job.

A truck driver was arrested at a Florida agriculture inspection station after officers discovered 671 pounds of cannabis hidden inside a load of oranges. The drugs were reportedly concealed among the produce during a routine inspection. Authorities say the discovery was made at the ag checkpoint, showing once again that those inspection stations aren’t just looking for pests and paperwork — they’re also catching major smuggling attempts on the road.

One wrong load, one inspection, and a whole career can be over in minutes.
