  • Used to love the stories

    Tried to listen to a few newer episodes ended up fast forwarding thru a bunch of chit chat and laughter that had nothing to do with the stories. I wish they would just get to the stories.

  • Best Trucking Podcast Out There

    Always look forward to new episodes. The hosts are hilarious and I for one enjoy the non politically correct commentary. Great guests and stories will keep you entertained for hours. I’m a 32 year old straight truck driver from South Central PA, working on getting my CDL and hoping to get into LTL trucking. This show has been a source of inspiration and education as I’ve been researching the industry. Keep up the good work youse guys and ignore the snowflake haters!
