In episode 126: Operation Generator Drop; Shipper and Brian have a conversation with Ben! Starting with his Class C 25+ years ago, Ben has had his fair share of incredible incidences while on the job. 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 episode 140: Who Wants to Drive In Snow?!; Brian and Shipper are joined, in studio, by returning guest, Daryl from episode 110! This show was BY FAR the longest episode we have ever recorded. So long, in fact, that we ended up splitting this show into two parts, that of which will air next week. This was a wild one with topics ranging from "why anyone would want to live in cold climates" to electric vehicles, and the like. As was the case last time Daryl was on, this episode is a banger. He has a lot to share, and we gave him all the time he wanted. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!Please consider donating to help the family of Ben Hurd in their time of loss!BEN HURD'S FAMILY'S GOFUNDME: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-in-tragic-loss-of-loving-father-and-husband?utm_medium=email&utm_source=product&utm_campaign=p_email%2B2300-co-team-welcomeKEEP 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

In Episode 91: Time Slip Off I80, Brian and Tony have a conversation with Bob, a long haul trucker. In Bob's travels, he has seen many different things, kept several log books, driven with his wife, and spent hours at the wheel. However, the main story that Bob joins us to share is anything but ordinary! 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.

Dunbar is a money transportation company, similar to Brink's Company. In that line of security work, as in trucking, you have to be prepared for anything to happen... especially when hauling millions of dollars. That preparation includes being trained to carry a gun, knowing how to assess any potential threats, and minimizing risks. 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.
