In this week's episode, the guys are joined by Ken, a retired truck driver with over 30 years of experience on the road. Despite facing challenges like power outages and chilly weather, Ken shares his experiences hauling a variety of loads, from agriculture and frozen meat to heavy equipment. He sheds light on the unique challenges of transporting oversized loads and tells a gripping story of maneuvering a loaded tanker with no baffles. Ken's anecdotes include encounters with wildlife, the dangers of reckless drivers, and the adrenaline-pumping "beaver slide" technique used in California's logging roads. Join us for a fascinating conversation about life on the road and the unexpected twists that keep truckers like Ken on their toes.
