Jake talks all about his time working at Pitt-Ohio, including how he worked his way from a dock worker into being a licensed driver. Truck driving seems to run through his veins, as both Jake's dad and grandfather were truckers too. The guys also chatted about their thoughts on what it's like delivering to customers, how weather can effect the job, and if automation could ever actually replace the whole industry. So buckle up and get ready for another trip to the Pitt!

207: Blizzards and Lot Lizards Pt. 1

In episode 140: Who Wants to Drive In Snow?!; Brian and Shipper are joined, in studio, by returning guest, Daryl from episode 110! This show was BY FAR the longest episode we have ever recorded. So long, in fact, that we ended up splitting this show into two parts, that of which will air next week. This was a wild one with topics ranging from "why anyone would want to live in cold climates" to electric vehicles, and the like. As was the case last time Daryl was on, this episode is a banger. He has a lot to share, and we gave him all the time he wanted. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
