It's a rough topic to talk about, but with the current economic situation, it's something that we need to address. In the past year or more, we're seeing an unusual amount of trucking companies close their doors due to financial strain. Now this strain is heightened for some due to the COVID-19 pandemic shut downs across the country. Many truckers have been left out on the road without a job, and sometimes even a way home. Luckily, Troy and Lenay are going over what to do if your trucking company closes! This episode is sponsored by the Pilot Flying J app!
