Customer Reviews
Love the podcast!!
I love you guys! Being a bus driver myself, I know the frustrations that you go through. It’s tough some days not to want to clock someone up side the head and give them a shake. Keep up the great work Tony and Brian. You are awesome!!
UNINFORMED AND UNPROFESSIONAL
As a 39 year veteran over the road truck driver I can tell you these people know little about the business. Act as though they know all, and are misinforming the general public about the profession. Hacks like this just reinforce old myths And hurt the industry.
Top notch
Just like The Confessionals Podcast, this one doesn’t disappoint. Grew up with a trucker dad and done my fair share of it in my life too. Riveting episode of fuel tanker contractor in enemy territory. Just fantastic. Production is top notch and can’t wait to hear more. Much respect from Canada and keep up the good work.
