TD124: The Overweight Axle Debacle

Ever had one of those crappy days that just seems to drag on forever… and in fact, it actually does drag into the next day? Well, that's what happened to me recently when a shipper just couldn't get me loaded legally. I share the story with mind-numbing detail. Lucky you.

I also interview Bill Busbice from HWY Pro, an app that helps owner-operators find, accept, and plan loads more efficiently than current methods.

If you signed up to win the Meritor jacket, you'll want to stay tuned to see if you won. I also talk about some new audio editing software I'm going to buy. Yes, this cheapskate.

In the feedback section, we hear from Renae, Emily, Garry, David, and Andrew.

I'm planning on reviewing the My ONE20 app soon, but you can go ahead and check it out now.

I've started a Trucker Dump Podcast Facebook page. Yes, I finally broke down.

Along with that is a Facebook Group called Trucker Dump Podcast. Since I buckled from the pressure, I expect all of you to join and participate. So get on it.

I couldn't pass up an opportunity to promote my books. Yes, I'm shameless.

In the feedback section:

Renae mentions the Trucking Nation podcast and she talks about health issues for truckers and the general lack of respect truckers receive.

Emily listened to TD119: Winter Truck Driving Tips From An Alaskan Trucker and wanted to share a related article called Winter Survival Kit: 10 Things To Keep In Your Truck.

An old high school friend named Garry wrote in just to say hi. Hi Garry!

David writes in to let me know he was the author of the mysterious "Bluegrass Cellular" email I read on the previous podcast.

Andrew asks why the heck I'm not on Podbean and I do my best to explain. He also has some constructive criticism about the previous podcast, which I love getting. He also asks about talkative truckers, which is something I obviously know a lot about.
