- EPISODE 241: Remembering Carl BonecutterOn June 16, 2025 we received the devastating news that our good friend Carl Bonecutter passed away after long battle with a lung disease. We paid our respects at his funeral, but we would like to take this opportunity for all of the Blue Ribbon folks whose lives (and trucks) were touched by Carl to come together and share some laughs (and certainly some tears) and pay honor to this amazing man who was taken from us all too soon. Carl LOVED working on trucks, and it will forever be our testimony that there was no one better at it. Join us as we honor his memory and share the stories of why we loved him so much.All of our Links: https://beacons.ai/blueribbonlogisticsPittsburgh Power: https://pittsburghpower.comPodcast Website: https://www.blueribbonlogistics.com/podcastBlue Ribbon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blueribbonlogisticsBlue Ribbon Website: https://www.blueribbonlogistics.comBlue Ribbon Blog: https://www.blueribbonlogistics.com/blogDRIVE FOR US: https://www.blueribbonlogistics.com/drive-for-usiTunes Link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blue-ribbon-podcast/id10317529671 hr
