Podcasts about Hate mail

There is an opportunity for the Middle East to be defined “by commerce, not chaos,” President Donald Trump said speaking at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.    The president is using the universal language of economic prosperity as he visits Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates this week - reminding the Middle East it can “exports technology, not terrorism.”    Trump has finalized multiple deals since the trip began, including “an agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion,” according to the White House. Trump also announced a $600-billion commitment from Saudi Arabia to invest in the U.S., mainly in areas of energy and technology.    In addition to his economic strategy, Trump continues to remind the Middle East why Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and to call for a deal between the U.S. and Iran that not only prevents the further development of Iran's nuclear program, but also stops Iran from funding terrorism.    Speaking in Qatar on Wednesday, Trump said Iran “must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars and permanently and verifiably cease pursuit of nuclear weapons. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.” On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we breakdown what you need to know about Trump's historic visit to the Middle East, and discuss if there is any hope for change in Iran.    Also on today's show, the far left has a fashion issue - they don't want to accidentally be mistaken as MAGA by what they wear. What to do? Dress messy instead, according to The New York Times.  The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: https://secured.dailysignal.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

I want to express gratitude and appreciation to all of the listeners of the podcast and readers of this Substack who have stuck with me thus far, and those of you who have tolerated my gravely and monotonous voice for 100 episodes. Without you here, I have no reason to do this, and I thank you for your time and attention.For episode 100 I bring you the man who brought me into this world (well, I guess my mom would deserve some credit, too, but she ain't here anymore) and helped make me who I am, My Dad.There would be none of this without him, and none of the commentary and writing on the trucking industry without the family legacy, which involves Dad, Uncle Chris, my late Uncle Bruce, and my late Grandfather, Sergeant James E Magill. Dad and I discuss much of the family history and more in this extended conversation, which I hope you enjoy as much as I have enjoyed producing all of these shows and writing for you.You can follow Leonard on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/leonard.magill/To see a bunch of photos of Dad and the family legacy, head over to https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/voice-of-gord-episode-100-featuringThanks for listening, and as always - Questions, Comments, Suggestions, Corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.comAs mentioned, I'm writing a book on the fate of the American Trucker in 2025, for more info on that - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-major

Voice Of GO(r)D is happy to bring you a conversation with a manager at a Toronto area truck driving school who brings us many observations about what exactly is going on with several problems in the industry.Our discussion ranges from the CBC Marketplace piece on scammy truck driving schools, to the now universally acknowledged ‘Brampton Truckers' meme brought to us by the same guys the CBC wouldn't name, as well as various issues involving the Provincial Government of Ontario. No surprises here - they throw money at people who shouldn't be truckers, and fail to properly regulate or do anything about those whom hand out licenses to incompetents. We also get some inside perspectives on recent meetings of the Truck Training School Association of Ontario and what they have to say about the gangsters in the industry making a mockery of our once noble occupation. There's a few gems in this one that teach me a few things even I was not aware of regards the incentives behind the scams and why people sign up for them.And if you have some beef with me bringing up the Brampton Guys, I would like you to take that up with the government, and if you still don't believe me, perhaps this major investigation from the Globe and Mail published way back in 2019 will persuade you.https://web.archive.org/web/20191008005205/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-foreign-truck-drivers-canada-immigration-investigation/My guest also describes her family history in trucking, and the cultural changes that have taken place in the GTA, and writ large, which have changed the face of trucking today.My guest requested to stay anonymous, given the legitimate risks presented by certain elements of the Brampton Crew, so no, you can't follow her online.As mentioned in the intro, I have written some pieces regards President Trump and his very recent Executive Order on English Language Proficiency requirements of truckers in the United States.SHOT -https://www.theamericanconservative.com/trucking-has-an-immigrant-problem-and-trump-can-fix-it/(I ought remind my readers that when I'm published at other outlets, I don't get final say on titles or sub titles.)CHASER -https://www.theamericanconservative.com/why-trump-wants-truckers-to-speak-english/If you are a new reader or listener, may I suggest a deeper dive into this issue which I wrote late last year.https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/truckers-tikka-masalaI'm writing a book on the fate of the North American trucker in 2025 -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorAs always, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and Strongly Encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

The Break Room (WEDNESDAY 4/30/25) 8am Hour 1) This man wrote the Break Room to tell Tommy that following your dreams is NOT a waste of time! 2) What is the golf course liable for when an injury like this occurs? 3) Don't panic, this is only a TEST.

Regular listeners to the Voice Of GO(r)D podcast and readers of this Substack will know that the trucking industry is in a shambles and is likewise facing more pain when the effects of President Trump's tariffs really take hold. What many of you don't know is that some Banking Chickens are about to come home to roost, and these chickens also help us to explain why current market conditions have yet to clear the dead wood out of the industry. The echoes of policies undertaken by the Biden Administration in 2021, matched with the financial industry not learning any lessons from 2008, are of far greater impact to trucking than these tariffs ever could be.Harvey Beech, President of EOS Trucking, joins the show to describe what is going on, and how the financiers behind truck loans are hiding behind ‘deferred payments' in a doomed attempt to avoid the inevitable, and inso doing, are extending the pain for the entire industry.This one is a must listen for everybody in the industry, please share it widely.You can follow Harvey on Twitter - https://x.com/EOSTruckingHarvey is also a partner at American Truckers UnitedI'm on Twitter - https://x.com/GordMagillAnd I'm writing a book on the fate of the American Trucker in 2025 - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorQuestions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

In my time cruising around Substack, one of the more interesting personalities I've come across is a fellow named Wez, aka Obsidian Blackbird. who writes “Memories of a Post Grunge Drifter”, a sort of ongoing autobiographical project that winds its way across the end of Generation X and the turn of the new millennium through the eyes of a vagabond Kiwi. Along the way, Wez shows us how the adversity of his family situation was dealt with, or not, via running away from home and leading a life not unlike that lived by another friend and former guest of this show, A.M. Hickman. A journey that spans the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean while straddling cultural shifts of rural living in the British Empire's furthest flung outpost to the streets of early 2000s Sydney and Toronto, and onward into the weirdness of post Covid America, Wez's life has been lived with both hands firmly gripping the short and curlies. This interview is as entertaining as his writings, often accompanied by his own illustrations, which you ought to check out here -https://obsidianblackbird.substack.com/A brief selection of titles -The Cruise Ship as a Spiritual ExperienceOperation Finnish PrincessI Was a Gypsy Roadside Rug SalesmanEscaping From Bad Men that look out for Teen RunawaysSnow White and The Seven Starving BogansWez is nothing if not prolific; those five titles barely scratch the surface of his output - if you've got the time and inclination, there is so much more.And after all of that, he's going back to New Zealand to start a ‘Right Wing Hippie Commune'. Almost as if his story is just getting started at the ripe old age of 47.Thanks for listening, and remember to not pass judgement on the hitch-hikers.Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Voice Of GO(r)D is happy to bring back to the show one of the highest energy maniacs in trucking, Mike Lombard of the Lombard Trucking Podcast, and so many other ventures. Mike has been diving deep into the history of the family trucking brand, and shares with us what he has found in a wide ranging discussion on the effects of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 on the industry, and on the company his predecessors built over many decades.We range over a number of topics including current issues facing the business, and Mike also shares with us updates on his other ventures, including his athletic pursuits, as he gears up for IronMan Texas which takes place very soon, on April 26.You can listen to Mike's appearance on my show from April of 2023 here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/improving-trucker-fitness-with-mikeAnd likewise my appearance on the Lombard Trucking Podcast from all the way back in December of 2022 -https://open.spotify.com/episode/7EATxpFkYdPYkgyTbNyJ47?si=SrULZZvlTxC40TqmlftQNwMike is everywhere on the Internet and you can find all of his links and his email address here - https://www.lombardtrucking.com/ and you really ought to check out his TikTok videos, Mike is a Real One and his energy is infectious.As mentioned, I'm writing a book about the fate of the American Trucker in 2025 -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorAs always, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast is very happy to bring you a lengthy and educational discussion with Mr Andy Roberts, the long time proprietor of one of Canada's oldest and best truck driving schools - The Mountain Transport Institute, who specialize in teaching you how to navigate the Rocky Mountains while pulling Super B Trains at 140,000 pounds gross weight. Located in Castlegar, BC, and in business since the 1980s, Andy's school stands out as the most effective and high value truck driving school in the industry, where he has long term affiliations with established carriers and even trains drivers from American companies who want to upgrade their skills. Andy and I wander up and down mountains of information together, and he even schools me on one of my most hated topics, automatic transmissions. From his start in trucking, to issues with the bottom feeders who comprise most of his ‘competition', Andy shares with us his professional approach, and we learn along the way why his school has been in business for as long as it has, and much else about what it takes to succeed at trucking.As mentioned on the show, I first read about the Mountain Transport Institute in an old trucking paper which has now merged with the online realm - you can check it out here - https://driverschoice.ca/Andy would be happy to hear from you, and you can send any questions his way, or sign up for a course - andy@drivemti.comI'm working on a book about the fate of the North American Trucker in 2025 - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorQuestions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are both welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

The Break Room (WEDNESDAY 4/16/25) 8am Hour 1) This guy says before rushing to judgment, maybe we should hear WHY this person did what they're accused of 2) The Break Room wouldn't miss this Easter tradition if it went away forever 3) A piece of baseball history will be available soon... If you have a few million dollars to spend

Lawyers are often the butt of many jokes, and in the case of the trucking industry, are thought to be a scourge, given that ‘Ambulance Chasing' is now a cottage industry in America; you have all seen the billboards which pollute our interstates, and have been witness to the ever increasing phenomenon of ‘nuclear verdicts'.I've been following an attorney for some time now who appears to be on our side of the street where it concerns the issue of truck safety for all motorists and travelers on our highways, and I had the very good fortune to get him on the show to tell us the view from defending those affected when something goes wrong - including truckers impacted by other truckers.I am honored to bring you this discussion with Grant Lawson of the Law Firm for Truck Safety, and hope that it is the first of many. Mr Lawson, contra our general stereotyping of lawyers, is “one of the good ones” and shared his very well refined thoughts on issues within trucking that affect not only his clients but the lives of truckers in general, not just about our own safety, but to the economics and operation of the business, and he is refreshingly sympatico with many of the aims of my fellow truckers and other listeners. From dealing with families facing tragedies, to the intricacies of insurance and the flooding of the trucking market with poorly trained and risky ‘drivers', Grant hits all the notes, and you want to hear from him.Over and above being a great conversationalist and extremely well informed about what's going on out there, Grant has a list of accolades a mile long and you can see them all here -https://truckaccidents.com/lawyers/grant-lawson/You can follow Grant on Twitter here - https://x.com/WYCowboyJusticeQuestions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.comI'm writing a book on trucking, and if you haven't checked out the project yet, please do so; if you would like to chip in to help me cover the cost of taking time away from working, there are links available here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-major

The Break Room (WEDNESDAY 4/9/25) 8am Hour 1) This man is here to argue that REAL family time involves a home cooked meal. 2) Crime math 3) Is this once thriving adult playground in America now on the downturn?

The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast was recently contacted by a representative of the American Communist Party, seeking more information about trucking and truckers, with a particular focus on truckers in Canada. As this podcast is happy to speak with (almost) anyone, I was happy to hear from someone on the opposite side of the bottom of the horseshoe to myself, and I thus invited Timmy onto the show in what is something of a two way interview - she asking me about trucking, and me asking her many questions about her communist ideological priors.I know many people who follow me might be aghast at the idea of speaking to a ‘Commie' but I think our highly volatile political discourse landscape obscures definitions and forgets that not all stereotypes apply. As I mention to Timmy on the show, when I became a bit more well known for defending the Freedom Convoy, the very first people to seek my input on the reality of the Convoy and its class composition were legitimate working class Marxists, not the obese purple haired maniacs whose brains have been fried by Identity Politics and The Borg™️. It seems like Timmy and her comrades in the American Communist Party, like myself, want nothing to do with that nonsense, and would rather focus on the material improvement of working people, including truckers.Throughout the discussion, we discuss the particularities of wage suppression in trucking, the abuse of migrants by policies pushed by Mega Carriers, as well as indentured servitude programs run by their own co-ethnic gangsters, the history of Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters, and much else. I mention this great book about Hoffa in the show, and you ought to read it.Timmy recently appeared on a Twitter space with fellow trucking media Internet Niche Micro Celebrity Timothy Dooner, where they discussed the ACP employing the term ‘MAGA Communism'. A complimentary and interesting discussion, which you can listen to here.As you know, I'm working on a book titled “End Of The Road - Inside The War on Truckers” and you can find out more about that here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorAs always - questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Voice Of GO(r)D is pleased to bring you an in-depth discussion about a problem in North American trucking that gets very little attention, with a man trying to solve it.Evan Shelley is the CEO of Truck Parking Club, a sort of app based ‘AirBnB' for truckers to find parking.Parking? Parking? What do you mean, parking?Its not guaranteed that truckers can find somewhere to beach their rigs and go to sleep every night in many parts of the continent, and some of the busier routes along it. There exists only one parking spot for every 11 trucks on the road, and the game of musical chairs that ensues every evening across this great land causes unnecessary consternation for many. Evan is here to tell us all about this problem and the many aspects and consequences of it, and how his service has delivered a great benefit to many truckers who can't afford to wait for new truck stops or the government to build rest areas.https://truckparkingclub.com/Sign up for their newsletter here - friend and former guest of the show Mike Lombard is a regular and excellent contributor.https://newsletter.truckparkingclub.com/You can find Evan on Twitter - https://x.com/TruckparkingguyTPC posts regular updates to their official account - https://x.com/TrukParkingClubAs always, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.comI'm writing a book about the War on Truckers - find out more here - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorHope to see some of you at the Mid-America Trucking Show this week!

Robert draws a surprising parallel between the stock market and Silence of the Lambs, unpacking how investors are being led toward a painful but calculated outcome. He dives into the “Mandela Effect” around Trump's first term, explains why volatility is back with a vengeance, and lays out how he's adjusting his portfolio in response. Plus, he shares his response to a listener calling him a “permabull” and answers the question on every investor's mind: how much exposure to tech still makes sense?

Mr Muradyan, originally from Montreal, is an entrepreneur who has worked in medical tech and logistics all across Asia, and is now back in Canada.We discuss his writings on just what is going on with the ruling elite of the country, where exactly Canada is on its current trajectory, and his comparisons of Canada now to the later stages of the Soviet project.

Voice Of GO(r)D is proud to present a conversation with Guy Meister, a Nova Scotia trucker whose little daycab R Model Mack sat on Sussex Street in Downtown Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy.Guys act of peaceful protest, of standing around in Ottawa drinking coffee with his fellow countrymen, has now earned him the bizarre pursuit of the Canadian government, who have engaged in a capricious and Kafka-esque case of Lawfare against Guy that has now run for over three years, and has seen Guy make the 2000 mile round trip from his home in Nova Scotia back to Ottawa 16 times for court.So much for carbon emissions; as I type this, he is on trip number 17.I found out about Guy from my good friend Donna Laframboise, who has appeared on this show twice in discussion about The Convoy (links below), and who has just released her new book ‘Thank You, Truckers!', which exclusively profiles the regular working class Canadians who made up The Convoy or supported it. Not the politicians or the organizers or big names, just the everyday people you never hear about, who go humbly about the work of keeping society functioning, and patriotically rose up to meet the challenge of a government gone astray.Guy's story is pretty incredible, and he represents, in an understated way, the best of the Canadian everyman - humble, hardworking, and totally apolitical until the Covid Regime came along and turned our world upside down.As mentioned in the intro, you can meet Guy and Donna this upcoming Sunday, March 16, at 630 pm, at the Biker's Church of Ottawa, 155 Carillon Street.Here is their website - https://www.bikerschurch.com/Guy is back in Ottawa to continue fighting the bastards, and he has court dates scheduled for March 18, 19, and 24, all at 10am at the Ontario Court of ‘Justice' in Ottawa, 161 Elgin Street.If you are around and can make it, I'm sure he would love a show of support.https://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/locations/ottawa/This get together is being organized by the wonderful Melissa McKee, and you can follow her on Twitter - https://x.com/TheMelissaMckeeGuy is being represented by Brian Doody of Doody Counsel (great name, lol) and you can follow Mr Doody on Twitter and LinkedIn.https://x.com/DoodyCounselhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-doody-ma-llb-39813626/Lawyers, as a lesser subspecies of human, often catch a lot of flak for their shenanigans, but Doody is one of the good ones; pop over and say thank you.The Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms has been supporting Guy's case, and you can donate via a button on their own article about him.https://www.jccf.ca/court_cases/peaceful-trucker-arbitrarily-detained-for-hours-without-access-to-legal-counsel/For more links, information, and a bunch of great photos, head over to my substack, and while you are there, smash that subscribe button https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/the-little-r-model-that-could-guyAs you heard, I'm writing a book about the decades long war on truckers in North America, and you can read about that here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorIf you have a couple of bucks to spare to help me get this book out the door -https://www.givesendgo.com/EndOfTheRoadThanks for listening, and as always, share this with your fellow truckers or anyone else who might be interested.Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast is extremely honored to have had the opportunity to introduce to you Mr Shannon Everett, of a legitimate trucker advocacy organization called American Truckers United that has been crunching data on the flooding of America's trucking market with foreign ‘drivers', and how our political class is allowing and actively encouraging our replacement.ATUs look into the issue of Commercial Drivers Licenses (CDLs) over the past decade has revealed some very questionable spikes with various states issuing them at 5 to 10 times the normal rate starting in 2020, and continuing into 2024. The Covid demand spike in 2020 and 2021 does not explain all of this as the spike has continued through the freight crash and recession that started in 2022.Shannon tells us why.ATUs research has also shown a major correlation between the insourcing of foreign labor onto our roads and a slow and steady increase in truck involved collisions and fatalities that curiously start around 2016, when the FMCSA, under the Obama Administration, waived any enforcement of English language proficiency as required under 42 CFR § 391.11 (b)(2).Shannon also describes for us how various states are actively writing legislation not to stop any of this, rather, they actively encourage it by changing definitions and lowering standards for the privilege to operate a Big Rig in America.But he is fighting back, and has an Arkansas State Representative named Wayne Long, who with ATU crafted legislation to prevent Arkansas from lowering standards that allow the insourcing of unvetted foreign labor on to our roads.Shannon also described the economic aspect to this problem, and how the insourcing of all these foreign drivers to America has effectively created two parallel trucking markets that each play by a different set of rules, and, more importantly, a different set of costs, which allows one market to vastly undercut the other.2024 was another bloodbath for small to medium sized trucking companies in America, and if you want to read about the hundreds of closed companies, those seeking bankruptcy protection, and the thousands of drivers who are now unemployed, head on over to FreightWaves - they have an entire section of their website dedicated to nothing but news of this economic disaster.https://www.freightwaves.com/news/category/news/business/layoffs-and-bankruptciesI want to ask everyone who has listened to this podcast or read through the notes here to head over to ATUs website and sign up to become a member, and thus keep up with all of the news in the battle to save the American Trucker, and many lives.https://americantruckers.com/sign-up-now/For more information, charts, data, statistics, and a ton of links on this issue, head on over to https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/the-replacement-of-american-truckersAs always, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Chace Barber of Edison Motors returns to Voice Of GO(r)D for his third appearance, and shares with us detailed updates from Canada's one and only manufacturer of leading edge hybrid drive Big Rigs.Chace discusses the brouhaha with a potential location in Terrace, BC, the new home they will be moving to instead in Golden, BC, why he's staying in Canada despite all of the roadblocks both province and Feds have put in his way, which include some very peculiar investment regulations resulting in you probably missing the boat on Edison's crowdfunding campaign. We also hear about new builds, and the insanity of attempting to comply with American DOT regulations in the new truck market.There is a quite a bit we didn't get to, as Chace is a very busy guy and had to attend to other business, but he will be back on the show very soon.

Ham is a fellow trucker and man of many talents, and has found himself on the wrong side of a government and judiciary that has run wild in punishing anyone who stood up for themselves during the darkest hours of this faltering nation.Mr Ham joins us to tell his story of speaking out against the Covid Regime, and to discuss the current political landscape in Canada, and what we can look forward to under the worst Kakistocrats this side of a USAID funding spree.You can find Mr Ham's wonderful show “Beyond The Pale” over on Rumble.RB is also on Twitter - https://x.com/RBHam63And on Substack - https://substack.com/@rbham101076RB's recent appearance with Jimmy DoreAnd if you can help him out in fighting off these insane, immoral, and evil fines -https://www.givesendgo.com/RBHamQuestions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail can be sent to - gordilocks@protonmail.comDon't forget to subscribe to my Substack, and have every episode of Voice Of GO(r)D delivered directly to your inbox, along with all of my various writings -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/

Howdy, loyal readers and listeners to the Voice Of GO(r)D podcast.Today I'm bringing you an interview I gave to Grant Martsolf of The Savage CollectiveSubstack back in November, where he peppered me with a few questions about the trucking business in general, and asked me why I think that truckers are able to overcome the odds in starting and maintaining families at higher rates than other blue collar workers.Grant has been working with the Institute for Family Studies over and above his position as a professor at the University of Pittsburgh and his project of investigating life in the machine age here on Substack, and you ought to check out his work.Speaking of IFS, they put out a banger of a manifesto last week called A Future for The Family - A New Technology Agenda for the Right which seeks to outline a pro family and pro society approach to this new digital realm we all live in. It's quite worth your time to check out, and signatories include former guest of the show Matthew B Crawford of the Archedelia Substack, and one of my colleagues at American Compass, Jon Askonas.In the intro I mentioned some new writing I have out at Compact -https://www.compactmag.com/article/blame-trudeau-for-trumps-tariffs/and that I've got a book in the works!https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorIf you want to chip in for that -https://www.givesendgo.com/EndOfTheRoadAnd I hope to see you all at the MidAmerica Trucking Show in Louisville Kentucky later this spring.https://truckingshow.com/Thanks for listening, and as always, Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.comSign up over at my Substack and have this show and all of my writing delivered directly to your inbox -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/

Voice Of GO(r)D is very happy to bring you a great conversation with Kevin Rutherford, former trucker, owner operator, business consultant, web developer, fuel efficiency nerd, radio host, and renaissance man of all things trucking - of the profitable variety. Kevin shares with us a little of his life story, his call to self improvement, business improvement, and teaching others how to run profitable operations, be you a single owner operator or a small family run fleet. Like myself, Kevin has spent his lifetime in the business, and he also has very strong presence both in life and online, and he is a great conversationalist, which also explains his other career in radio. His story about publicly defending the Freedom Convoy live on air, and the repercussions he faced for that are well worth the show itself. You can find Kevin all over the internet, and specifically at Let's Truck Online https://www.letstrucktribe.com/ Audio Road Network Kevin's Twitter He is online hosting Spaces almost every day, go and check him out!

Voice Of GO(r)D is very happy to start off 2025 by bringing you an in depth conversation with fellow trucker and previous guest of the show, Lee Schmitt, along with his wife Lisa. Lee has thrown his hat into the ring to become leader of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and we discuss why it would be only natural that someone with over 30 years of experience behind the wheel would be a better choice to head this extremely wasteful and ineffective agency. It is revealed that the FMCSA is ineffective because they've had no consistent leadership since their inception, and not once have they followed the DOTs own rules to be lead by someone with experience in the trucking business. Drivers can see this in their own working lives, and their workplaces out on the road. Our experiences tell us that it is clear the FMCSA is impervious to our concerns, as former head Robin Hutcheson refused to end an extremely unpopular mandate even after being shown that the mandate achieved the opposite of what it promised. You might have heard Lee and Lisa here before in discussing a trucker advocacy organization called CDL-DU, which Lee has since resigned his position from, and you may have seen him hosting the now infamous Trucker's Town Hall with Vivek Ramaswamy back in December of 2023. Hopefully if Lee becomes FMCSA head, he can talk some sense back into Mr Ramaswamy, and something can be done about the rampant abuse of work visas and illegal migrants in the trucking business as outlined here - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/truckers-tikka-masala You can find Lee and Lisa Schmitt on Twitter - https://x.com/LSchmitt_TAAWTS and if you are the sort to sign petitions, they have one over at Change.org which seeks to have the incoming administration consider Lee's application.
