Next Episode: TD127: Why Podcasts Are The Best Media For Truckers

In today's podcast, I speak with Ryan Backstrand, Product Engineer and Korina Velasco, Marketing Manager for Right Weigh Load Scales. If you haven't heard of Right Weigh, it is a system of weighing your truck without having to drive to the nearest CAT Scale. How cool is that?! You'll learn how this product works, how much it costs, and how to install it, just to name a few.

Additionally, Troy from the Big Rig Banter podcast dissects trucker pay, I point you to an awesome FAQ about Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) and a short book explaining truck weights, and I introduce a new segment that I think you truckers are really gonna dig. And obviously, I do some shameless self-promotion of a couple of podcasts I've been a guest on recently. I also talk about a service called Teledoc that seems custom-made for truckers.

In the feedback section, Aaron shares why he's always sitting in the driver's seat (even when off-duty), Greg and I dodge Winter Storm Grayson, Danielle shares health tips she's learned on the road as a ride-along to her trucker hubby Robert, and Trevor writes in to ask about how getting jiggy in the truck works. Yeah. You'll definitely want to stick around for that one. Be sure to persist to the bloopers and outtakes at the very end too!
