In this week's episode we are joined by Ryan, a trucker who specializes in transporting septic and liquid waste. Through a blend of weather talk and geographic musings, Ryan unfolded the intricacies and adventures of his not-so-ordinary job. He shared tales that spanned from attending niche industry conventions to the gritty details of hauling everything from grease traps to animal blood. His recounting of navigating environmental regulations, facing unexpected challenges on the road, and his encounters with wildlife painted a vivid picture of the day-to-day life in a seldom-seen side of trucking.

| 176: Remembering Two Highway Legends | 13 Sep 2023 | 00:52:43 | |
This week is a slightly different approach to our show. In the past few weeks, Shipper has had a few people who he was close with, tragically pass away. Due to this, it's caused some interruptions to his life and mindset. When you lose loved ones in your life, it tends to cause introspective thought, as well as remember those we've lost. That's what this episode was, a time to remember some of those who Shipper had recently lost, as well as look into our own lives and the importance of staying in touch with those we love.

| 171: The Legend of Bronco | 10 Aug 2023 | 01:17:31 | |
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 this week's episode, Brian and Shipper are joined by Brandon from the 76 Tuesday Podcast as well as, the popular Black Diamond Guns & Gear YouTube channel. Though, he enjoys doing this on the side, his main gig is with his hands on the wheel of his delivery truck. Brandon spends his time traveling around Southeastern US, stopping in places like Atlanta, Georgia to drop off some tasty goodness. He started in the warehouse and eventually made his way into getting his CDL. Although, delivering cookies sounds sweet, there are many instances that turn sour. From seeing some wild Paranormal Activity, to having a miraculous intervention on the road, Brandon has been through quite a lot. So sit back, relax, and grab some cookies as Brandon delivers the sweet and the salty tales from the road!
