In addition to their careers, professional truck drivers are fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, siblings and children. To keep relationships positive and healthy takes communication and hard work.

This month on the podcast, Dave sits down with Russ Gottemoeller, Continental Express' founder and president. Ahead of Continental Express' 40th anniversary, Dave and Russ chat about Continental's early days and plans for the future.

The Jake Brake is a fairly simple component to slowing a semi truck, but knowing when to use a Jake Brake can be a bit more challenging. On this episode of Driving the Future, Dave interviews Austin Hill of Stoops Freightliner to get more information on how Jake Brakes work, hill descent, and when to brake on downhill grades.
