Balancing life on the farm with the demands of podcasting isn't easy, but I've made some changes to keep the Rolling 18 Podcast rolling smoothly! Join me, Walter Gatlin, as I dive into the generational perspectives in trucking, grapple with the high turnover rates, and tackle the urgent need for healthier food options at truck stops. I share my personal struggles with the allure of unhealthy snacks and explore how poor diet impacts truck drivers' health and mood. This episode, now on a new schedule of Tuesdays and Fridays, promises longer, more relaxed discussions in response to your feedback. So, get ready for some raw, unedited conversations on the crucial issues affecting our industry.
Truck parking safety is reaching a crisis point, and I recount a harrowing Trucker News story that underscores this reality. The Coalition of Trucking Organizations is pushing hard for the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act, and I'm here to break down why this $755 million investment over three years is so vital. Between my home and Des Moines, Iowa, the lack of rest areas forces trucks onto interstates, risking lives. Imagine food trucks offering nutritious meals at these new parking spaces—it's a game-changer! With bipartisan support and 49 co-sponsors, now is the time to act. Tune in, get informed, and find out how you can help make trucking safer for everyone.
