189: Mudslides and Jackknifes

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.Angel Tree Farms:Email: [email protected]: angeltreefarms.orgDonation: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/79f8905a-44ac-4844-9724-ca32d6a0eebfSupport The ShowKEEP US FUELED: buymeacoffee.com/hammerlaneEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOOD: www.preparewithhll.comGear: https://www.hammerlanelegends.com/gearShare Your StoriesLEAVE A VOICEMAIL: 515-585-MERK(6375)EMAIL US YOUR STORIES: [email protected]: www.hammerlanelegends.comFollow The ShowYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC5TWlB5Yqx8JlQr3p3bkkMgFacebook: www.facebook.com/hammerlanelegendsFacebook Fan Group: www.facebook.com/groups/hllInstagram Desktop: www.instagram.com/hammerlanelegendsInstagram Mobile: @hammerlanelegendsTwitter Desktop: www.twitter.com/HLLPodcastTwitter Mobile: @HLLpodcastFollow The TeamBrian MerkelFacebook: www.facebook.com/brian.merkel.94Instagram Desktop: www.instagram.com/brianmerkeloffical/Instagram Mobile: @brianmerkelofficialProduced by: Jack MerkelFollow Jack on Instagram @jack_theproducer
