Bonehead Truckers with Ike Stephens

For the first show of 2026 and the fourth season of the Voice Of GO(r)D podcast project, I am very happy to bring you a discussion with Ike Stephens, the empresario behind the highly successful and very popular YouTube show, Bonehead Truckers.Ike has been documenting the decline of the American trucking industry via his hilarious and well done commentary videos, which highlight what happens when The Powers That Be take a trade which requires high levels of competency and operational acumen, and attempt to deskill it by flooding the market with hapless locals from the unemployment line, or with insourced labor that is likewise clueless. As of late, Ike has been pulling no punches with calling out everyone involved in allowing this sad state of affairs to take place.You can find Mr Stephens all over the place -https://www.youtube.com/@BoneheadTruckershttps://x.com/boneheadtruckrshttps://www.facebook.com/boneheadtruckershttps://www.instagram.com/boneheadtruckers/And if you will be at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky next month, March 26-28, you can come meet Ike in person - and I might even be at his exhibition location with copies of my book for sale.Speaking of the book - we are less than 6 weeks out from release, and my book is already doing numbers in various Amazon book categories. As of right now, End Of The Road was number ONE in Canadian Politics, number 13 in Libertarianism, and number ONE in Transportation Industry.The first two are curious, given that Canadian Politics only figure in the intro and final chapters, and I use the term ‘libertarian’ but a small handful of times; the politics that comes through my arguments are all over the place - libertarian, conservative, labor left, populist … I like to think the book’s politics defy categorization.And on that note, go ahead and pre-order for delivery to your door on March 24, or come meet me at MATS, where I will sign a copy for you, and you can pay cash for a steep discount. The audiobook will be available by then, and I will have a QR code handy for those who want to download it to their devices instantly.In the US you can order a hardcover copy direct from my publisher -https://creedandculture.com/books/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/In Canada you can do the same from Chapters/Indigo -https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/9781967613021.htmlIf you must -https://www.amazon.com/End-Road-Inside-War-Truckers/dp/1967613028/Thanks again for listening and making my podcast what it is, and thanks again for reading my work here.
