Ed Qualls, Nationally known political commentator jumps In the Pickle Barrel

Ed Qualls, Nationally Known Commentator, Political and Economic Realist, Healthcare Strategist: From deliveries of online shopping orders to massive pieces of equipment, the open road and trucking help drive the U.S. economy. Autonomous cars and drones may be on the horizon, but tractor trailers still haul and deliver goods to doorsteps.

“However, America has more open trucking jobs than available commercial drivers. As older drivers retire in greater numbers, the industry faces a driver shortage.”

The U.S. economy and trucking volume have recovered since the recession in large numbers. According to reports, the industry has some 30,000 to 35,000 unfilled truck driver jobs, leaving the future impacts on the economy at great risk!

Ed Qualls uses his expertise to dissect this story and look at the economic and political ramifications it could have on the US.

In addition, we will tallk about why do so many people in the world (including Americans) hate America. 

We will also take a look at other issues this morning "In the Pickle Barrel" at 8AM-10AM EST.
