Trailblazers. That's truly the best way to describe Jasmine and Drew Dill of Liquid Intrusion Brewing (LIBCo). Jasmine and Drew are actively pushing for more diversity, equity, and inclusion within the craft beer industry. Whether it's engaging with other breweries through their work on the DEI committee of the Brewers' Association of Maryland, having a full schedule of events for Black History Month, or owning Prince George's County's first black-owned brewery, the Dills are starting their efforts on the home front. Oh, and did we mention that these high school sweethearts also brew delicious beer that's sought out by everyone from novices to beer nerds? Don't mind the intrusion and give this episode a listen to hear a powerful story of carrying on a legacy while blazing a new trail for all. As they say at LIBCo, "may the liquid always prevail!"

It's one of our favorite opportunities covering the trucking world these last several years -- the annual conference of the National Association of Small Trucking Companies, for four years now the sponsor of Overdrive's annual Small Fleet Championship, recognizing and sharing the stories of business excellence for owner-operators who hit and/or cross that 3-truck threshold. On November 7 this year, Overdrive Radio host Todd Dills announced winners in two categories, recognizing four total finalists during NASTC's Thursday-night conference-opening Transportation Trust Forum. You've likely seen the news – Paul Rissler Transportation and C.W. Express took home the Small Fleet Champ title belts this year in their respective categories: https://www.overdriveonline.com/small-fleet-champ/article/15707739/rissler-transportation-cw-express-emerge-as-small-fleet-champs Yet that's not the true highlight of the program for Dills. Rather, the chance for an in-person, roundtable sitdown with all four of our Small Fleet Champ finalists, to share their perspectives on business challenges overcome, on the makets in which they operate, and more. The talk you'll hear in this Overdrive Radio podcast edition offers plenty potential lessons for other truck owners similarly wrestling with various business difficulties of various stripes. Likewise a strong current that's a bit different from past Small Fleet Champ roundtables we've conducted. All owners offered examples of how they pay their hard-earned trucking knowledge forward to leave behind capability when the end of the line comes squarely into view. For some, those efforts were front and center in the talk itself. Automotive and general dry van carrier C.W. Express owner Steve Wilson was joined in the talk by his son, Steven the second, in his early 20s and newly involved in the business, for instance. Hear also C.W. Express' fellow finalist in the 11-30-truck division of the Small Fleet Championship – Brian Brewer and Jennifer Leasure of mostly local scrap and dump hauler Brian Brewer Trucking. Likewise, competing in the 3-10-truck division, Jamie Hagen of mostly dry van carrier Hell Bent Xpress and Paul and Michelle Rissler, of Paul Rissler Transportation, running reefer. It's a hallmark of a truly exceptional business owner that, though the day-to-day fires may mount, keeping eyes on the future is a necessity for the next generation. As Steve Wilson outlined his immediate and longer-term goals, invoking all that he'd been through over the last several years (including 8 months' worth of a hospital stay, near death at one point), "I've got grandbabies now," he said. "You know, what I want is to build a legacy for those kids. 'Hey, my granddad built that.' That's what I'm here for."

Enjoy today's conversation with our dear friend, Lauren. Read more about the inspiration for Escape and Celebrate below. Happily married, a job she loved, a home she could grow with - you would think that was the recipe for success. But Lauren was still missing something. A close knit group of friends in her new community that she could call on.The judgment free kind. The kind that you could eat a messy taco with while wearing sweatpants. Or share deep thoughts and big dreams.She had always made friends easily growing up - classes, clubs, meetings. But why was making friends as an adult so challenging? And why was no one talking about this openly, the same way that we talk about the challenges of dating?The more she brought it up with others, the more the same sentiment was mirrored. It didn't matter what stage of adulting you were in - new job, new baby, new city - there was a common theme. So she decided it was time to take matters into her own hands and figure out a plan to build stronger bonds with the acquaintances in her life. One that centered around good food and even better people. One that forced her to set aside a little time in her busy schedule and prioritize people. A reason to escape and celebrate beyond holidays and birthdays. Curated convenience with a mix of monthly accountability. The perfect recipe. We take care of the details, introduce you to easy elevated entertaining and let you host and gather with the ones who matter.Its a privilege to share it with you and yours to help create more memorable moments in your life!There is always an extra seat at the table, come join and share in the fun!

Thursday, July 18, would be a short day of work for operator Josh Gentry, starting at a leisurely 10 a.m. in Fort Payne, Alabama, outside the Quality Inn in town. There, Gentry met Overdrive Radio host Todd Dills to get rolling, the pair starting the day in Gentry's Chevrolet en route to the site of an old auto dealership in town that, since the mid-1980s, has been the home base of the fan club for longtime country-rock group Alabama. It's also home base for the group's tour truck, in which Gentry was about to set out on a run. Josh Gentry is son of one of the last two founding members in the band, bassist and harmony singer Teddy Gentry. Josh, after years pursuing music himself, then hauling grain around his home region (some of those years as an owner-operator), today serves as hauler of Alabama's touring operation, moved in a single truck and 48-foot Great Dane show trailer emblazoned with the band's insignia and the "Roll On II North America Tour" logo. That truck, a 2021 Kenworth T680 detailed in this week's podcast, rekindles an old partnership between the Alabama group and the Kenworth company, dormant after an official farewell tour in the early part of this century. As you'll hear on this run to Nashville to load in for Alabama's July 19 show at Bridgestone arena, Kenworth's relationship with the band tracks back to the 1980s, when the tour operation was as many as four trucks and trailers, and the band was at the height of its popularity with big hits like "Mountain Music," "Tennessee River" and, yes, the classic "Roll On (18 wheeler)," in past named by Overdrive readers in the top five for best trucking song of all time: https://www.overdriveonline.com/channel-19/article/14875984/these-are-the-top-10-trucking-songs-of-all-time Gentry's come full circle with his growing involvement in the tour operation, after a childhood spent enamoured by all things trucking and immersed in his father's band's music. Despite that long history, though, there's still opportunity for new experiences. By 11 a.m. Thursday last week he and Dills were pulling out with a lightly loaded trailer toward the Soundcheck facility's docks to pick up more gear situated a very-short haul across the river from downtown. As the truck and trailer merged onto I-59 toward Chattanooga from Ft. Payne that morning, just as Dills readying his audio recorder for the talk with Gentry, a voice came over the radio -- "Roll on, Alabama!" -- invoking the classic trucking song. Gentry called tour manager Jeff Davis to mark the moment and give him an update on progress toward Nashville for load and staging. Yet the over-the-air atta-boy wasn't the very first bit of attention the wrapped truck and trailer have gotten over going on two years Gentry's been guiding the tour, taking him as far as, most recently, North Dakota and into Manitoba and elsewhere in Canada. Dive into Josh Gentry's trucking history and otherwise in this first episode featuring Overdrive's talk with the operator, the principal interests of his life to date all coming together now in live entertainment hauling with the family business. Catch more views of the truck and trailer, and from the Friday, July 19, live show in Nashville here: https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio/podcast/15680069/roll-on-alabama-ft-paynenashville-with-trucker-josh-gentry Find all episodes of Overdrive Radio via https://overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio

This "Kinda Murdery Classic" originally aired on January 13, 2023...he early life of Verle Peter Dills (twin brother of Merle Dills) reads like the opening scenes of a movie about an American golden boy. He was born in 1947, the early years of the baby boom, he was an honor student, an athlete and a student council member. But, somewhere along the way, things went sideways and by 2007, at age 60, Verle Dills became internationally famous as the man who spent years videotaping himself humping street signs - which sounds like an internet punchline, but the truth is much darker than that...What went so horribly wrong?CALL THE KINDA MURDERY HOTLINE: (888) MURDERY that's (888) 687-3379 is LIVE!Sources: https://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/bubba-humps#lightbox-popup-1https://www.cracked.com/pictofacts-278-21-insane-true-sex-stories-you-thought-were-urban-legendshttps://jalopnik.com/south-dakota-man-arrested-for-sex-with-street-signs-285080https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/services/publications/fhwaop02084/index.htmVarious articles from www.newspapers.com search term: "Verle Dills"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery--5496890/support.

Do the data represent a true “apples to apples” comparison? How much of the gender wage gap can be accounted for by discrimination? How do women participate in the labor market differently than men?

Also in the podcast: Matt Cole live from the Guilty by Association Truck Show in Joplin Missouri in the area around 4 State Trucks there: https://www.overdriveonline.com/custom-rigs/article/15634903/guilty-by-association-truck-show-starts-strong-in-joplin Cole reports from Day 1 at GBATS -- How many owner-operators were at the show? What's the mood in what's certainly been a challenging year for so many small-business truckers? Cole spoke as owner-operators were getting parked up at 4 State Trucks and the surrounding area in Joplin, Missouri, for a bit of an update on how things were looking on-site at one of the absolutely biggest gatherings of the trucking community the nation over. Cole also directed traffic with Game Creek Video entertainment-biz hauler Tommy Marshall out along University Avenue at the Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa. Marshall is lead driver every fall for a crew of seven rigs and operators that make up quite a unique trucking niche. If you've been to OverdriveOnline.com this past week you'll likely know that Marshall is the lead man for the mobile-television production of ESPN's College Gameday broadcast, which airs every Saturday throughout the Fall ahead of the day's football games, live from a different university site each week: https://www.overdriveonline.com/business/article/15634571/a-unique-beast-behind-the-scenes-on-mobile-tv-production-trucking Drop into some of Cole's detailed reporting around the operation, with Marshall in the production studio truck for Game Creek Video and several operators from a few different companies dedicated to the production. That includes West River Light and Sound, and longtime trucker Gerry Glass. It's Glass's initial contact that led to the opportunity Cole got to spend with Tommy Marshall and the rest of the crew in Tuscaloosa two weeks back. Glass got in touch with Overdrive Radio host Todd Dills on Labor Day Monday, as the crew was prepping to head to Tuscaloosa to stage on the campus for Alabama v. Texas. Would we be interested in seeing what they do firsthand? Gerry Glass asked. Overdrive is headquartered in Tuscaloosa, of course, but Dills live in Nashville, Tennessee. However; Cole was the perfect man for the job, a U. of A. Crimson Tide fan, no less. He was on-hand for their initial unloading two days later, on Wednesday, and parts of the set-up the following days, too, with Tommy Marshall as a guide. Marshall and crew do a great deal more than just drive in such a production, of course -- in fact, driving might be the least time-consuming part of the whole affair, depending on whatever university location Gameday chooses week to week. Cole ultimately delivered with a detailed look at the mobile-TV trucking niche. Find that and other reports from a wide array of freight niche operations via our occasional Niche Hauls series, collected via this link: https://www.overdriveonline.com/t/4378936

In this episode of the Jaded Mechanic podcast, host Jeff is joined by his friend Brandon Dills from Jarhead Diagnostics. They discuss the busy year that Jarhead Diagnostics has had, including moving into a larger facility. Jeff shares his experience of seeing car engines with low mileage that have already been damaged. The episode offers insights into the automotive repair industry and the challenges that come with it.Jeff and Brandon delve into the importance of mobile technicians in the automotive industry. They highlight that even the most skilled technicians may encounter a problematic car that requires a fresh perspective. This is where mobile technicians come in, providing invaluable solutions to complex issues. Brandon also noted that customers expect quick and efficient repairs, and mobile technicians can help shops meet these expectations. However, some shops may be hesitant to work with mobile technicians, fearing a loss of business. Despite this, both agree that mobile technicians are essential to the industry, providing a valuable service to both customers and shops.The episode also touches on the shortage of technicians in the industry and the challenges faced by both technicians and shop owners. The guest speaker emphasizes the importance of valuing technicians and treating them as valuable assets, rather than replaceable workers. He suggests that shop owners should pay technicians well and not require them to donate hours or purchase tools that the shop uses. While it is not the shop owner's responsibility to provide retirement benefits, they should cover the cost of specialized tools and diagnostic equipment. By valuing technicians and treating them well, they will be more invested in their work and more likely to stay with the shop long-term.The episode also highlights that traditional retirement benefits, such as a pension and a watch, are not typically provided in the automotive industry. Therefore, technicians need to take responsibility for their own retirement plans. This includes investing in their own future, taking care of their team, and advancing their career. Shops that require technicians to purchase their own tools or do rework are not helping the situation. Shop owners should pay technicians well, so they are not struggling to buy tools that the shop uses. Technicians should also plan for lean times and when they are no longer able to work in the industry. This could involve having a side hustle or a backup plan, such as a YouTube channel or tooling training. Overall, technicians need to take control of their own retirement plans, as traditional retirement benefits are not typically provided in the automotive industry.[00:00:00] Seized engines.

Peter Dills wonders if home cooking is better than going to a restaurant.
In this week's Overdrive Radio, drop back into more from host Todd Dills' November run with Oakley Trucking-leased owner-operator John McCormick out of Robards, Kentucky, near Henderson. Regular readers and listeners will recall the prior podcast, where we dug into McCormick's Pride & Polish-winning 2021 Kenworth, christened "Bandit" given its paint scheme's resemblance to the Snowman's rig in the 1970s classic movie Smokey & the Bandit. There, we heard plenty about just how that rig got its name, McCormick's approach to financing -- in this case direct through the finance arm of MHC Kenworth, the dealer group from which he bought the W900L late in 2020 -- and more. Today we pick up with more about the two rounds he makes daily, between Cresline Plastic Pipe in Henderson, where he unloads PVC powder picked down in Calvert City, Kentucky, from the manufacturer there. Dills spoke with McCormick this morning and, after a few OTR runs farther afield over the holidays, when the plant he hauls from was shut down for annual maintenance as usual, he's back in gear on this his bread-and-butter run, no sign of business slowing down. Hear more about just how the owner-operator got to where he is today -- and the other McCormicks he's managed to bring along for the ride.

The early life of Verle Peter Dills (twin brother of Merle Dills) reads like the opening scenes of a movie about an American golden boy. He was born in 1947, the early years of the baby boom, he was an honor student, an athlete and a student council member. But, somewhere along the way, things went sideways and by 2007, at age 60, Verle Dills became internationally famous as the man who spent years videotaping himself humping street signs - which sounds like an internet punchline, but the truth is much darker than that...What went so horribly wrong?Timestamp Notes: 0:00-14:45: Zevon shares about his life, how he's feeling, the meaning of, "Kinda Murdery," AND EXCITING NEWS: THE KINDA MURDERY HOTLINE: (888) MURDERY that's (888) 687-3379 is LIVE!14:45-38:05: "The Increasingly Dark Life of Verle Peter Dills" Sources: https://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/bubba-humps#lightbox-popup-1https://www.cracked.com/pictofacts-278-21-insane-true-sex-stories-you-thought-were-urban-legendshttps://jalopnik.com/south-dakota-man-arrested-for-sex-with-street-signs-285080https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/services/publications/fhwaop02084/index.htmVarious articles from www.newspapers.com search term: "Verle Dills"

This edition of Overdrive Radio features a talk with Charlie Deull, third generation in the family behind longtime Broadway show hauler (among other touring acts) Clark Transfer, based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Today, the company is principal in touring work all around the nation hauled by owner-operators leased on to the company, in addition to a network of outside agents, including many owner-ops and small fleets with authority among them, too. Deull we spoke to initially this Spring, and some since, about the company's efforts to bounce back from the big hit the COVID-19 pandemic put on the business. Coming out of it in the last year or so as big touring acts have returned in earnest, the company's changed up parts of its contractor compensation package in unique ways. Clark is among the very, very few carriers out there offering a minimum guaranteed revenue to owners who lease there, for one, and for two, guaranteeing their fuel surcharge as a backstop for the less-fuel-efficient amid rising prices. Overdrive Editor and podcast host Todd Dills wrote a feature about the company that regular Overdrive readers among you may have seen last month, too, detailing some of the changes: https://www.overdriveonline.com/business/article/15294151/guaranteed-revenue-for-owneroperators-clark-transfer-commits In the course of Dills' research for the story, Charlie Deull sent along a contact for owner-operator Jeff Seales, among the company's longest-tenured contracting owner-operators at upward of three decades. This week, planning to revisit Deull's talk for the podcast audience, we learned that Seales had passed unexpectedly. It's been a tough week for everyone at Clark Transfer on account of it, as well as the reality that another owner, working with the company since 2018, also passed within days of Seales. His name was Mark Mills. In the tribute to owner-operator Mills posted earlier this week to Clark Transfer's Facebook page, the company noted he leaves behind his wife, Kelly, and a young daughter, McKenna, among other family. His first run for Clark Transfer in 2018 was hauled between Harrisburg and York in Pennsylvania, the company noted -– a relatively short drive that ended up under difficult circumstances taking 12 long hours of blizzard-battling. But he got there. The show went on. Mills had worked on a variety of productions, but had consistenly been with the band Chicago off and on since 2019. The Chicago crew set up a GiveSendGo page to help his family: http://givesendgo.com/morethanlifemark Both owner-operators Mills and Seales, it's certain, will be missed. Condolences to the families. Hear much more about both men, as well as Clark's lease program, in the podcast.
Monika Kelly speaks to Jamie Dill, the co-founder of Be Kind for Ollie, a non-profit organization dedicated to remind people not to leave children or pets in the rear seat of a hot car. Unfortunately, the Dills lost their three-year-old child Ollie after his dad went on autopilot and forgot to drop him off at day care.

On this episode, we hear from two principal singers in DIE FLEDERMAUS: mezzo-soprano Kira Dills-DeSurra who plays the role of Prince Orlofsky, and tenor William Ferguson, who plays the role of Eisenstein. Both Kira and Will are seasoned comedic performers, and their healthy senses of humor are on full display during this episode. Will and Kira talk about the magic of live performance and how much the audience influences them, how April Fools' is a recognized holiday in both their families, how they got into opera in the first place, and the role that Central City Opera plays in the context of opera in America. Kira Dills-DeSurra is a vibrant American mezzo-soprano whose magnetic stage presence communicates effortless charm and truth. A champion of new and rarely performed works, Kira has appeared in many American premieres, and she also cultivates skills in musical improvisation and circus arts as part of her broad-ranging palate of storytelling tools. She is a graduate of Roosevelt University and the University of Southern California. Tenor William Ferguson has always pushed the boundaries of opera performance through his exploration of new repertoire and through the commitment of his characterizations. A Juilliard graduate, he has sung with Santa Fe Opera, Opera Australia, New York City Opera, Salzburger Landestheater, Opéra de Québec, Opera Philadelphia, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Dallas Opera and The Metropolitan Opera, as well as symphonies around the world.
