The H&M Trucking Podcast

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re in a giving mood!  We’ll give some winter driving emergency tips from the NHTSA, and a company update on the policy surrounding unreported damages.  After that, we’ll talk to H&M driver Teddy Arnold, who will tell us about some charity work he’s done in the past, as well as share with us about the Truckers Christmas Group, a charity that helps drivers who are down on their luck provide adequate Christmases to their families.  If you’d like to learn more about this charity or donate, please visit truckerschristmasgroup.org!

This week on the H&M Trucking Podcast we’re shutting off the GPS and taking our own way.  We’ll have H&M drivers Joe Bargonetti and Tom Woods on the show at the same time to discuss multiple issues drivers face while working, and focus the conversation on the lack of parking.  We’ll also bring you a funny voicemail that one lucky driver left his dispatcher, and take a look at some of the truck stops closing and opening across the lower 48.

On this week’s very special episode of Trucking Up History Presented by H&M Trucking, we take a deep dive into the Big Dig.  The Big Dig was a massive road construction project in Boston. Planning for the project began in 1982; the construction work was carried out between 1991 and 2006; and the project concluded on December 31, 2007.

Happy Thanksgiving!  This week on the pod we bring you a driver profile from Mike Hermes, a former water rescue team member, who used to jump out of choppers to rescue drivers of capsized race boats.  We’ll hit on some breaking news and Marcus has scoured the interwebs to bring you some sensible gift ideas for the trucker in your life.  It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without the stuffing, and we’ve stuffed cameos from some of our favorite guests for you to munch on.  Eve Essary, Dale Cook, Brian Gernandt, Jim Musel and James Fonda will all stop by to give their thanks!

This week’s show is all about the Veterans.  We might be fashionably late, but we’ve got our salute to H&M’s Vets jam packed with great content.  Brittany Yarbrough makes her first appearance on the pod and we’ll see if Marcus makes it out alive.  Then Eve Essary stops by to Lay Down the Law, and we’ll hear from military vet driver Erik King, who is also known as Socks!

This week on the pod we’re rotating our tires and bringing you something different.  First, HR Specialist Connie Tran joins us to talk about mental health, a field she is well educated in, and we’ll bring you the ATRI’s top 10 issues facing the transportation industry and discuss some of them.  Then Driver Tom Woods and our friend, and Tom’s former dispatcher, Tim Krueger join us to get a peek behind the curtain of what types of relationships drivers form with their dispatchers!

This week on the podcast we’re talking winter driving tips and tricks.  We’ll hear from Safety Manager Dean Edmunds and bring you some tips for those winter roads.  Jim Musel wasn’t able to duck Marcus this week, so he stops by to talk about maintenance related issues during the winter.  Faith Adams gives us a quick update on social media platforms, and driver Scott Beals joins us for a driver profile!

We’ve got another drivers only episode for you, and we’re talking about some scary stories from the road!  Marcus jumps in the passenger seat and speaks with H&M Trucking drivers Rodney Allsup, Randy Duran and THE Dave Olerich about life on the road and whether they believe in the paranormal.  Some of the drivers have even had spooky experiences themselves!  Don’t be scared though, we’ll keep things light and fluffy next week!
