Trucker Dump - A Trucking Podcast

This podcast describes how the crappy economy affects more than just the driver's wallet. As a bonus, you'll get to hear me whine about my crappy miles. Wow. Two crappy's in one brief show description. No… THREE! Man, I'm on a roll! Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast? Download the intro/outro songs for free! courtesy of Walking On Einstein.

Today I try (ever so briefly) to be sexy. You can probably guess how well that turned out. So… what to say about the topic of today's podcast? Well, unsurprisingly, this particular blog post gets more hits than any of my others. I guess that just goes to show what kind of keywords people are Googling for these days. In this episode, you'll hear some stories of the perverted things (and people) that The Evil Overlord and I have seen out on the road. I'd give it a rating of PG-13.

This one isn't very long. You're welcome… smart aleck. It all comes down to one weird day of weather. Even my first video is super-short. Uhhhh, hello dork. This is an audio podcast. You're going to have to go to the Web site to see the video. Duh. Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast? Download the intro/outro songs for free! courtesy of Walking On Einstein.

Welcome to the podcast with the world's worst title. Seriously folks, somebody must've smacked me with a 2X4 the day I came up with this title. Clearly my brain wasn't operational at the time. The topic is important though. We discuss how a company's safety practices can affect the driver and what to look for in a company's safety program. And I try to contemplate whether or not safety is overemphasized or not. Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast? Download the intro/outro songs for free! courtesy of Walking On Einstein.

This particular podcast doesn't really have a purpose. I'm just spouting off about what I like and don't like about rain. Other than that, you'll learn that a reefer isn't something that will give you a case of the munchies. But it does benefit those with the munchies. Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast?

Dispatchers are a sore subject among truckers. Many drivers are convinced that their dispatcher is out to get them. But how much does the dispatcher actually control a driver's destiny?

Miracles happen every day… just not to me. The story in today's podcast is the exception to that rule. I'm still shocked that things turned out the way they did. You'll see why.

This episode discusses a foe that causes all truckers to go on high alert. And whatever you think it is, you're probably wrong. If you're right, I owe you an ice cream cone. If you're wrong, you owe me a $50 iTunes gift card. That's fair, right? Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast? Download the intro/outro songs for free! courtesy of Walking On Einstein.

The act of going to or leaving home is an emotional roller coaster for most truckers. And while you're here, you'll hear a story that proves that at least one horse is smarter than me. I am smarter than a 5th grader though… sometimes. Oh, and I heard a rumor that I take a stab at singing in this episode. Hey! Where are you going? Stop running!

Every trucker should have a hobby that they can do when they're away from home. It's either that or they're going be spending a lot of time getting cornered by talkative truckers. Today's topic is exactly what the title says it is. One thing the title isn't, is creative. So sue me. Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast?

The title says it all. There really isn't anything to this one. It's only here to direct you to 16 pictures I took while out on the road. Of course, if you go directly to the pictures instead of listening to the podcast, you'll waste all the effort I took to be creative in the intro and the outro. ;-) And that might make me cry.

I'll go ahead and admit it; this is one of my hot buttons. Truck-idling laws bug the living crap out of me. In today's podcast, find out why trucks need to idle and why the "benefits" of truck-idling laws may have unintended consequences that the average non-trucker would never think of.

Company policies at trucking companies are usually put into place to make things safer or more efficient… right? Well, today's story involves a situation I was in that defied both of those things. Learn about company-supplied routing and what happens when that routing doesn't make a lick of sense. Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast?

Truck driving requires a lot of flexibility. What? You didn't know that we have to be able to put our foot behind our head to pass the DOT physical? Oh wait. Wrong kind of flexibility. In today's episode, we're actually talking about the wonkiness of a truck driver's schedule. I also talk about the length of the podcast and how that's going to change over time.

Today I discuss air-conditioning and big rigs; which means I'm grumpy again. And hot. Really freakin' hot. Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast? Download the intro/outro songs for free! courtesy of Walking On Einstein.

Today we continue with the topic that started this whole blogging thing: high-idling. And yes, you guessed right. If the stinking thing would actually get fixed for a change of pace, I could move on with my life. Still, this is worth hearing because it happens to truckers all the time.

What does the trucking industry and the military have in common? Find out in today's podcast. And no, it's not that we both wield giant mobile weapons. Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast? Download the intro/outro songs for free! courtesy of Walking On Einstein.

Today's podcast was happening as I typed it. Hang on tight as we discuss driver courtesy within the trucking industry. Or should I say, the lack thereof. Okay, I admit it. It's kind of another rant. What??? The last podcast was positive! What can you expect? My name isn't Elmo! Got a second to Rate and/or Review the podcast?
