Truckers for Troops – Putting the Care in Care Packages
You’re far from home, sacrificing everything to protect the country when a 70-pound box of goodies arrives with your name on it. For nearly 20 years, OOIDA has been sending a piece of home to our troops stationed overseas. And from day one, Angel Burnell and Nikki Johnson have been a driving force behind the care packages. As we kick off our annual Truckers for Troops campaign, we look at how the care packages represent more than just home. They also represent the massive heart and kindness of the trucking community.Truckers for Troops: https://www.ooida.com/t4t/Veterans Community Project: https://vcp.org/Join or renew with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and use code PODCAST25 for a discounted membership: https://www.ooida.com/membership/Tired of watching your rights eroded: https://fightingfortruckers.com/Subscribe for FREE to Land Line Magazine (online or print): https://landline.media/subscribe/

Truckers for Troops – Failure is Not an Option at the Veterans Community Project
As we ramp up for next week's Truckers for Troops campaign, we’re going back to the archives to highlight one of the places your money goes: the Veterans Community Project. Yes, it’s a tiny home community for veterans who need a place to live while they get their lives back on track. But it’s also so much more, most notably a place to get help in any form it’s needed – no matter what, no questions asked. In an encore presentation, Chris Admire, executive director of the Veterans Community Project, explains why failure is not an option – and how that attitude informs every decision VCP makes.

Ghost Stories from the Road with Jimmy Mac
The trucking industry is no stranger to tales of the supernatural and other unexplainable occurrences, and in that spirit, we’re bringing back an old friend of the show: Jimmy Mac. The longtime broadcaster is still covering trucking, but his new project, Gauge Illuminations, also dives head-first into the world of the unknown. Jimmy swings by to usher in Halloween with accounts from Gauge Illuminations, which bills itself as part performance, part investigation and part roadside séance. Gauge Illuminations explores horror and folklore.

The Trailer Rental Scam Landing Victims in Jail
The crooks are at it again with a new way to rip people off. Only this time, the scheme doesn’t just steal your money – it could even land you in jail. Sarah Bradbury, vice president and general counsel of Premier Trailer Leasing, sounds the alarm. And then, we sit down with Dan Oesch of the Missouri Department of Transportation, which is leaning into truck parking projects as Interstate 70 gets a much-needed overhaul.

Pain at the Pump: How High Might We Go?
Tom Kloza has been covering the fuel markets for more than 50 years, and even he hasn’t seen anything like what we’re seeing right now. With average diesel prices per gallon in the $6 range and above, filling up has never been more painful – and we have a number of factors to thank for that. We connect with Kloza, chief energy advisor for Gulf Oil, to talk about how we got here, how high diesel prices could end up going, and what it’s going to take for everything to come back down to Earth.
