Wally Klosner joins us for a Blue Collar Happy Hour unlike any other, and his story hits hard—literally. When heavy machinery meets human error, the outcome can be life-altering, and Wally's tale of resilience following a gruesome workplace injury is nothing short of awe-inspiring. We peel back the layers of blue-collar life, exposing the real risks taken every day. These are not just cautionary tales; they're powerful reminders of the strength and courage that define our communities.
But it's not all close calls and near misses. Imagine unearthing a chapter of history with every shovel of dirt—a buffalo head, vintage cars, or even a family burial. This episode digs into the unexpected treasures and secrets that lie beneath, all while navigating the surprise visits from OSHA and the 'dirt lickers' who assess the job sites. And we can't forget the art of leadership on the road, where trucking supervisors walk the tightrope between regulation and reality. The stories we share from the front lines of trucking operations reveal the true grit and adaptability required to steer these massive machines—and the men who operate them.
