261: Heartbeats On The Highway

from Hammer Lane Legends · host Merkel Media

In this episode of Hammer Lane Legends, Brian and Mike sit down with Jim to unpack his decades on the road, from the grueling UPS training grounds to the chaos of city deliveries. Jim opens up about the heart attack that changed everything—how he missed the warning signs, what pulled him through, and the lessons it left behind. Along the way, the guys trade laughs and war stories about life behind the wheel, truck-driving competitions, and the unspoken brotherhood that keeps drivers going long after the road ends.
