In this episode, Wendy Buckley of STARS HazMat Consulting breaks down the realities of hazmat freight compliance and risk management! We talk about why most companies don't realize their insurance excludes key hazmat activities like storage or transport and how that mistake alone can shut you down, how hands-on, customized training and concise SOPs are what actually protect your team, the essential role of regular internal and third-party audits, and how proper commodity identification can prevent dangerous storage scenarios (like lithium batteries stacked next to paper rolls). If you're moving or brokering hazmat freight, investing in expert guidance, tailored training, and updated insurance coverage isn't optional—it's how you keep your business alive and compliant in a zero-tolerance industry!   About Wendy Buckley With 28 years of hands-on experience in hazardous materials transportation, compliance, and safety, Wendy helps companies navigate the complexities of hazmat regulations while ensuring their operations remain efficient, safe, and profitable. As the founder and owner of STARS HazMat Consulting for 13 years, she partnered with shippers, carriers, warehouses, and 3PLs to create customized compliance strategies that protect people, property, and profit. Her approach is simple yet impactful: turn regulatory challenges into opportunities for operational excellence and growth.   Connect with Wendy Website: https://starshazmat.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-buckley-48304223/  Email: info@starshazmat.com

How secure is your trucking operation against cyberattacks? Are you confident your team could spot a phishing email or fake shipper domain before it costs you thousands? Today, listen to cybersecurity expert Melanie Padron speaking about the growing threat landscape in transportation! We discuss why small and mid-sized carriers are prime targets, often hit hardest because they lack dedicated security resources, how AI-powered tools are helping companies stay ahead of evolving cyber risks, and practical solutions: employee training, incident response plans, vendor vetting, and partnering with cybersecurity professionals who understand trucking operations. The key message? “Trust but verify.” As National Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds us, education and consistency are your best defense. Whether you run one truck or a 500-unit fleet, acquire strategies from this episode to secure your business and protect the future of the industry.   About Melanie Padron Melanie Padron is a risk management expert and cybersecurity speaker who has made it her mission to protect trucking companies from cyber threats. She's been right there in the trenches when ransomware attacks hit, helping pick up the pieces after systems are encrypted and ransom demands arrive. After spending over 20 years in the insurance industry helping businesses recover from disasters, Melanie has shifted her focus to something she's even more passionate about: stopping those disasters from happening in the first place through proactive cybersecurity. Her connection to trucking is personal. Growing up working in her family's convenience stores, she watched the steady stream of trucks that kept their gas tanks filled and shelves stocked. Her uncle and aunt were owner-operators who crossed the country delivering freight, giving her firsthand insight into the dedication and sacrifice required to build a trucking business. Working with veteran-owned IT Architeks, Melanie helps trucking leaders secure their fleets and leverage AI to become more efficient and profitable. Her approach is simple: when trucking companies truly understand their risk, real protection begins.

# 15 Heavy metal i 80'erne: 1981 – Bølgen skyller videre

1981 // POVCAST – I 1981 skyllede bølgen videre fra den engelske New Wave of British Heavy Metal, og bands som Iron Maiden, Samson, Saxon, Def Leppard og Tygers of Pan Tang.  Der var også fuld gang i de britiske frontløbere Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne og Motörhead. Jens ‘Jam' Rasmussen og hans gæster, anmelder og forfatter Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen, bl.a. radiovært og guitarist i metalbandet Artillery, og musiker med meget mere, Michael Denner, fortæller. Motörhead havde endda besøg af danske Lars Ulrich i deres øvelokale. Et par måneder senere havde Ulrich selv sin første Metallica-øver med James Hetfield ovre i LA. I Danmark stillede Brats knivskarpt på metallen og blev til Mercyful Fate. Der var megen anden hård rock i 1981, så tag med os tilbage til dette mægtige metal-år sammen med vores faste, tunge hold: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen, studievært, og de tre kompetente studiegæster, journalist Steffen Jungersen og d'herrer guitarister Michael Stützer Hansen og Michael Denner. 1981 i nedslagspunkter -  The New Wave of British Heavy Metal skyller videre, og i forskellige retninger: Iron Maiden udgiver monsterværket Killers, Samson byder på den kommende Maiden-sanger Bruce Dickinson, og Saxon hylder heavy metal-kulturen på Denim and Leather. Def Leppard laver AC/DC-partyrock på High N' Dry og Tygers of Pan Tang laver fed riff-metalrock på begge deres 1981-album. - Danske Lars Ulrich er flyttet til Californien for at forfølge sin tenniskarriere, men tager lige på en metallisk dannelsesrejse til England i sommeren 1981, hvor han blandt andet er til festival med Ozzy Osbourne og Motörhead, som han også besøger i deres øvelokale. - Opildnet af dannelsesrejsen beslutter Lars Ulrich sig for selv at danne et band. I oktober 1981 har han sin første Metallica-øvesession med guitaristen James Alan Hetfield i Los Angeles, Californien. - Jungersen og Stützer jubler over Ozzys andet soloalbum Diary of a Madman og Motörheads vaskeægte livealbum No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith. - Venom debuterer med rå garage metal, diabolsk image og eksplicit satan-retorik. - Danske Brats skruer bissen på, laver fede heavy metal-demoer, får Michael Denner tilbage i lineuppet, og bliver til… Mercyful Fate.  - Denner og Stützer fortæller om Mercyful Fates koncertpremiere på Selsmoseskolen i Taastrup, og lidt om anden dansk hård rock anno ‘81: Devil's Symphony, The Studs, Pretty Maids og Pulze. - Los Angeles 1981 er andet end stedet for den første Metallica-øver: Joan Jett grovhitter med I Love Rock'n'Roll og Motley Crüe albumdebuterer med hedonistisk hard rock på  Too Fast For Love. I Helsinki albumdebuterer Motley Crües åndsbrødre i Hanoi Rocks. - Tilbage i LA, aflirer Y&T en stor smule AC/DC og tænder en tidlig glød i Lars Ulrich, mens Van Halen fortsætter rockfesten på deres fjerde album. - Ritchie Blackmore og Rainbow indspiller nyt album i Sweet Silence med Flemming Rasmussen, hvilket ikke mindst noteres af ovennævnte Ulrich. - De tidligere Deep Purple-sangere, David Coverdale (i Whitesnake) og Ian Gillan (i eget band) er fortsat produktive. Sidstnævnte udgiver endda hele to album i 1981.  - Jungersen genintroduceres i studiet til tonerne af Accepts Son of A Bitch, men lever fint med det. - Vi afrunder med årets album fra Black Sabbath, Judas Priest og AC/DC, som alle tre havde noget at leve op til fra året før. God lytning, og på genhør i 1982 i snarlig fremtid. Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen

Season 10 makes for such great classique conversation as the queens get into army-inspired quick drag and improvise in pairs on ‘The Bossy Rossy Show.' Alaska and Willam talk about the golden age of talk shows, how one queen's damage and another queen's damage don't mix, and why so few of the looks on the runway actually followed the prompt of ‘Denim and Diamonds.'
