In the wild world of trucking tales, today's star of the show is none other than Tim, the legendary Bronco-wrangling trucker! Tim's trucking journey began before he even had a proper driver's license. It's like he was maneuvering big rigs before he could properly maneuver a bicycle. He's the kind of guy who, when handed the keys to a truck for the first time, handled it like he was diffusing a bomb. Picture Tim, the Bronco Whisperer, gingerly creeping up a dirt road, clutching first gear for dear life. No one's sure if the truck was terrified of him or he was terrified of the truck, but that's how the legend of Tim began.
And let's not forget his city-driving days, which are basically like a demolition derby meets an action movie. Tim braved New York City like a champ, dodging trigger-happy cops and truck-hungry carjackers. There's even a rumor that Tim single-handedly gave traffic a lesson in patience and terror simultaneously. But it wasn't just mayhem; Tim's been through more terminals than a keyboard at a computer store, driving from one end of creation to another. Seriously, he's got road stories that make an epic novel look like a short story. Tim's been trucking since before it was cool, before truckers were VIPs of the road. He's the OG trucker, the man who's seen it all and still keeps rolling on. So, hats off to Tim, the living, breathing embodiment of trucking tales and the king of the Bronco-busting road!

In episode 127: FLIPPED!; Shipper and Brian have a great conversation with Jeremy, a line haul driver. Jeremy started out running his own company as a "Hotshot Hauler", hooking up anything he could haul to his pickup truck and hitting the road. He ran in this line of work for over a year until it came to an abrupt end. From there he bounced between a few other gigs, before landing on his feet as a dockworker in an LTL company. Once he was around the big rigs, he attained his CDL, and worked his way to the line haul position he has today. All of Jeremy's experience in his different positions have helped him to get to where he is today, in one of the best industries to be a part of. He shared with us the life lessons he's learned along the way, as well as the many things he's seen on the road in that time. The guys thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and we know you will too! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

In episode 128: Born to Run; the guys sit down in studio with Nevin Sr., a retired truck driver and man of many hats! Nevin had been in and around trucks since he was 5 years old, and his dad would take him along to the butcher's. There Nevin would enjoy the old, beaten-up, truck behind the butcher's shop, pretending to shift gears and drive all over the world. From that point on he had a hankering for the open road. As time went on, he got a job on a farm and then graduated into longer distances. From Dallas to New England, Nevin covered thousands of miles and eventually was able to accomplish a dream of his, and own a farm. All of this didn't come without some unbelievable stories along the way. He's had failed brakes, Cabbage Patch nightmares, and even a wild hurricane experience. Needless to say, Nevin has seen it all, or at least more than most, and we enjoyed the time spent sitting down with him. So sit back, relax and enjoy this incredible conversation with Nevin Sr.

In episode 123: #MOO!; Brian and Shipper are joined by Dakota from Texas. Through the years, Dakota has been involved in many different facets of the industry, but that's not where he started. As a young man, Dakota was a security guard for over 6 years, in hopes of becoming a police officer, but as time went on he decided to take up driving. He tells of the time he spent in training with a "trainer" who was less than interested in helping him learn, and more interested in the back of their eyelids. He also tells of the time he spent as a team driver with his brother-in-law, as well as the many stories he has as a trainer himself. This was a great show, and we hope you truly enjoy it!
