This week's edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast features an expansive discussion I had with longtime professional trucker Tom Kyrk about his involvement in the relatively new TNC Radio streaming station, gearing itself to speak directly to drivers -- predominantly but not entirely in trucking, as it were. As Kyrk tells, a sizable portion of the content tries to hit the intersection between pro four-wheeled drivers and all of you, Class 8 owners and drivers: https://tncradio.live/ Kyrk's gotten involved interviewing guests and contributing in various ways after a decade and a half-plus trucking career, all of it as a company driver. As he tells in the beginning portion of today's podcast, he spent 14 years with Stevens Transport before in recent years moving over in a team operation to IBI Secured Transport. Also in the podcast: A bit of a public service announcement from Overdrive and the readership that's directed to everybody's four-wheeled friends about sharing the road -- at the very end. Here's a link to where that PSA originally aired: https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio/podcast/14897719/channel-onenine-special-from-over-the-road-drivers-ed

How could that be? Although than most people concerned about health will agree to avoid: processed foods, trans fats, GMO's, sugar, soda ,artificial ingredients and chemicals, pesticides, herbicides..... AND to increase organic food, water consumption, exercise,....  There still needs to be that all important consideration of the Person making the change.
