The Ballad of Trucker Dave

from The Lombard Trucking Show · host Michael Lombard

Dave is a veteran trucker in the industry who has a fascinating story. He was raised by the old school union truckers and aspired to have a career like they did. Unfortunately he came in at the end of the Teamsters hayday and saw the folding and consolidation of several carriers. An absolute whirlwind of career that you'll have to listen to yourself to see all the moving parts. But now in the twilight of his career he has sold his truck and will be driving for Walmart's private fleet. And we go into detail in how Walmart is actually setting the example for what carriers should have done post deregulation, or at least should be doing now. Dave is off social media, so if you see a Walmart truck around Reno, NV just do the old arm pump and hopefully it'll be him to honk back at you
