TF2 episode is a behind the scene discussion of Jaxon's Wild Wild West Youtube Channel video titled Needing the spirit of Dale Earnhardt to push us home!"

The video was filmed on the nonstop trip from Sonoma CA to Mooresville NC, almost a 3,000 mile trip. 

Update: We are going to start doing podcast episode release on Thursdays. Our editing timeframe makes it touch to record on weekends and then have an episode ready for Wednesday. So, be on the lookout for Thursday releases of the Steady at the Wheel episodes. 

Jaxon is on the road with NASCAR in New Hampshire. This episode gets into the rise and fall of driver demand and some potentail mistakes owner operators may have made when buisiness was booming. Electronic logs get some attention with a recent news story of a bus hitting a parked truck whose driver had run out of hours. 

The Trucker's Friend is an addition to the podcast that we are going to be doing. Jaxon has a YouTube channel, "Wild Wild West",that he releases videos/episodes on regularly. The Trucker's Friend will be a behind the scenes discussion of sorts on the videos he releases. 

The Trucker's Friend is not taking the place of our regular Steady at the Wheel episodes, but instead something extra to provide a bit of seasoning to the Wild Wild West Channel. So, if you watch Jaxon's channel and want a bit more context and discussion about these videos, check out the Trucker's Friend episodes. 

Lastly, we do not currently have an editor for The Trucker's Friend. Please be patient with the audio quality as we get this portion of Steady at the Wheel on its feet and are able to have it edited for a higher quality listening experience. 

We are better be careful or weekly releases are going to be a habit again!

Jaxon recounts the highlights of the benefit auction he was traveling to last week. 

Some states are discouraged at the fuel tax revenue coming in due to increased electric vehicles and fuel efficiency. A recent news article and some of the proposals to increase revenue for the states on this subject is discussed. 

The episode wraps up with Jaxon talking about his recent purchase of a Kenworth T600 semi. Check out his YouTube channel "Wild Wild West" where he documents the event. 

Back to back weeks! It has been awhile, but we have made it work to record back to back weeks. Hopefully we are on track for weekly releases. 

We start off talking about haying and end up in a fairly lengthy chat about our experiences with skunks. 

This episode recorded at the Treasure State Truck Show in Great Falls, MT

Rooster sits in for a little additional commentary as Jaxon updates on his health and family addition. 

Jaxon and Luke sit down after a day of branding calves. 

This episode is a collection of random conversation. 

This week we have a guest joining us, Dale Sand. Dale grew up in the same community as we did. He spent a good chunk of his adult life working for the irrigation district that manages the water used in keeping crops growing here. You have heard us talk about irrigating when we were young. Dale is one of the ones who kept the water flowing. 

We wanted him on as a guest to talk trucking as he has moved on from the irrigation district and is driving truck, cattle hauling a big part of what he does. We didn't get to far into his trucking experience as the irrigation district backstory kept us involved. 

It was a good chat having Dale on and we will have him on again to get into his trucking.
