This week on the Channel 19 Experience, we’re loading up with dogs, demons, and the start of something big: the Driver Shortage Series.

🐾 Bulletin Board – Connections matter. From LinkedIn shout-outs to the quirks of cab-riding pets, we talk about what really keeps us grounded.

🚛 Pre-Trip – Are we really facing a “driver shortage”? Or is that just the industry’s favorite excuse to avoid the real monsters in the cave?

💰 Money Line – I share my personal story — from piling up trucks and chasing miles, to bankruptcy and hard lessons learned — scars, not trophies.

🔦 Preview – Next week kicks off the Driver Shortage Series, where we’ll shine the flashlight into the industry’s darkest corners.

We’ll also shout out our friends, sponsors, and truck show family keeping this industry moving.
