This was an awesome episode, and we hope you all enjoy it!!FRIENDLY NOTE:Truck driving is a brotherhood/sisterhood of which we all know the trials and burden of this career. Long hours, time away from family, and hard labor, but it's ultimately one of the most fulfilling careers. As a family, we support each other when times are tough, and take care of our own. This is one of those moments when we need to band together to help part of our family. If you have the ability to support the Hurd family in this time of need, they would greatly appreciate it. Thank you all, in advance, for the support and care shown toward their family!

In Bob's travels, he has seen many different things, kept several log books, driven with his wife, and spent hours at the wheel.

On what seemed to be just another long day, Bob was searching for a place to grab a bite to eat, when he happened upon a small 1950's-style diner. He stopped his truck, ate inside, and paid for his food. But, shortly after leaving, Bob realized the diner was no normal restaurant... We'll let Bob tell you the rest! So buckle up and get ready for a trip through time as Bob drives us in and out of decades.

Zach shares with us his extensive experience in this field and how difficult the conditions can be at times. He also tells several on-the-job stories, including making craters in the ground with skids of coins and scaring someone so badly they pooped their pants! Yikes.

In episode 128: Born to Run; the guys sit down in studio with Nevin Sr., a retired truck driver and man of many hats! Nevin had been in and around trucks since he was 5 years old, and his dad would take him along to the butcher's. There Nevin would enjoy the old, beaten-up, truck behind the butcher's shop, pretending to shift gears and drive all over the world. From that point on he had a hankering for the open road. As time went on, he got a job on a farm and then graduated into longer distances. From Dallas to New England, Nevin covered thousands of miles and eventually was able to accomplish a dream of his, and own a farm. All of this didn't come without some unbelievable stories along the way. He's had failed brakes, Cabbage Patch nightmares, and even a wild hurricane experience. Needless to say, Nevin has seen it all, or at least more than most, and we enjoyed the time spent sitting down with him. So sit back, relax and enjoy this incredible conversation with Nevin Sr.KEEP US FUELED: buymeacoffee.com/hammerlaneEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOOD: www.preparewithhll.comLEAVE A VOICEMAIL: 515-585-MERK(6375)EMAIL US YOUR STORIES: [email protected]: www.hammerlanelegends.comGear: https://www.hammerlanelegends.com/gearYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC5TWlB5Yqx8JlQr3p3bkkMgFacebook: www.facebook.com/hammerlanelegendsInstagram Desktop: www.instagram.com/hammerlanelegendsInstagram Mobile: @hammerlanelegendsTwitter Desktop: www.twitter.com/HLLPodcastTwitter Mobile: @HLLpodcastProduced by: Jack MerkelFollow Jack on Instagram @jack_theproducer
