Trucking After Hours Buck and Don

An inside view of my battle with type 2 diabetes, ten years into the diagnosis. What I'm doing to gain control of my own health.

Prince Philip had the world's Range Rover Defender. In fact, he designed the vehicle specifically to carry his casket. Check out the truck at Jalopnick.com.

Have you ever wondered what life is like when you're trucking for a concert tour? You're about to get an inside look from someone who's been doing exactly that for over a decade. 

In this episode, I had a chance to talk with Deanna, a former driver for Upstaging. After more than 13 years of trucking with the tours, she's now wearing the hat of driver recruiter. It's rare to find a recruiter with that much driving experience, and with the same company she's now recruiting for.

You'll find a more detailed description of the lifestyle in this article at TruckingPodcast.com.

This episode is about making a little extra cash from something I already do, surf the web. 

Facebook, Google, Yahoo and others make BILLIONS, simply by selling the data they collect while you're on their platform. So, why not use a platform that shares the love by sending you a cut of the profits?

In this episode, we talk to the man behind Cocoon MDR, a web browser that offers you a cut of the action when they privatize and sell your data. 

Jeff Bermant is the founder and CEO of Cocoon. I believe we've arrived at a point where people are ready for a platform that is honest about where their income comes from and gives up a cut of the action.

Everyone's asking, what happened to Steve Sommers, and where can we find his show? Let's let Steve tell you himself.

Steve Sommers is like an old friend I've never met. We've traveled together more nights than I could count. He's helped me and thousands of other truckers keep up to date on trucking news, national weather and great conversation.  We both love what we do. 

After listening to the show for over 20 years, I finally had an opportunity to talk with Mr. Sommers and catch up on his plans for 2021.

I'll be posting updates as more information becomes available.

Just a little update on what I've been up to this summer. And, more importantly, what am I going to be up to in the future.

Bud Brutsman is our guest for this episode. He's a winning Baja 1000 racer, executive producer of several shows such as Overhaulin', American Trucker and a bunch of other great stuff you're sure to recognize.  Bud also ran the first Ford F-150 Raptor, in prototype racing form in the Baja 1000.

***I'm still writing the blog post for this episode. I'll be sure to update here as soon as it's up.
