In this episode, the guys are joined by guest host Scott VanHalken to hear the wild stories from Andrew Lugo, a seasoned truck driver navigating 57-foot trailers through California’s toughest roads. They dive into the unique challenges of driving these longer rigs, the mental and physical demands of the job, and Andrew's journey from working in his father's small business to his current role in food service delivery. Andrew shares his experiences with trucking competitions, the pride in keeping America fed, and the struggles with low wages and freight rates. The conversation is packed with insights on the changing landscape of trucking, the importance of experience, and the need for better training for new drivers.
