"I want to honor my wife and her being the 'woman behind the man behind the wheel,' which is a high calling. Our first date ... was the day I bought that 1997 W9, so she didn't know what she was getting into." --August Trucker of the Month Jason Shelly Jason Shelly starts this Part 2 of a series of Overdrive Radio episodes featuring the owner-operator with a tribute to Renita Shelly, who's been Shelly's "biggest fan," as she once told him, since the very start of his business. The truck he invokes in the quote up top and in the podcast is the very first one he purchased, when he was a company driver for Horseless Carriage Carriers in the 1990s and thinking he'd be able to lease on with the car hauler. The fact that he didn't, though, as he told in Part 1, set him off on a journey to a long-term customer and a business that has benefited from all manner of family support, including Renita's, through the years. He's striven to pay it forward in all sorts of ways, and does so here of a fashion with his emphasis on that support, key to many a truck owner-operator's success. His longtime owner-operator father, also pictured in the cover assemblage for this episode, is intimately involved in the accounting/bookkeeping and other aspects of Shelly's one-truck business, including recent work reburshing the 2017 53-foot Great Dane reefer trailer also pictured. But it's Renita he emphasizes most for all manner of sometimes intangible impacts that have nonetheless been a lynchpin of his long-term success. "It's not an easy life, schedule-wise, and just the ups and downs. And at a certain point, she knew I wasn't going to be home until she saw the whites in my eyes, because anything can happen between here and there," he said. And when it did, "she's just been so patient, so understanding." Going into the "second half of my career," he said, he's making a conscious effort to be more accommodating, too, remedy for all those times that "something or other happens at home and I'm 400 or 700 miles down the road and headed the wrong direction," which the "woman behind the man behind the wheel" bears on her own. Shelly referenced the old trucking song there. (We had a podcast episode put together by Max Heine about that one back several years ago here: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15065078 ) So for this episode, a tribute, but also plenty more in the way of Shelly's advice for the next generation of owner-operators trucking. Jason and Renita Shelly are certainly making it work for their family, and diversifying investments as time goes on that ought to set them up long-term financially. Not that Jason's got a particular eye on retirement, which we'll also hear more about in today's episode. As he says, "I don't look to retire, exactly. I may slow down. But biblically, there's no verse that I've ever found in the Bible that says you retire at this age" or that age. Rather, "it says to finish strong."

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's possible deployment of troops to New Orleans, the midterm election battle shaping up for 2026, and a fierce immigration debate stretching from U.S. highways to European activists targeting ICE. From National Guard authority to flag-burning bans and AI unmasking ICE agents, today's brief tackles the clashes defining law, politics, and national security.   Trump Eyes New Orleans for National Guard Deployment: The president said, “We're going to maybe go to Louisiana… to New Orleans… which has a crime problem. We'll straighten that out in about two weeks.” Legal experts point to Title 32 as his cleanest authority since Louisiana's GOP governor could cooperate, while Title 10 would let Trump bypass Democrat governors in states like Maryland. Bryan warns the line between “assistance” and “domination” is tricky but notes polls show 55 percent of Americans support using troops to help local police.   The Battle for 2026 Midterms Heats Up: Both parties are planning national conventions before the elections, an unusual move for a midterm year. Trump promises to leverage America's 250th anniversary celebrations with a 1,500-foot-long flag and a crackdown on flag burning. “If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail, no early exits, no nothing,” Trump said. Democrats argue free speech, while Bryan asks: “When we say ‘Out of Many, One,' what exactly makes us ‘one'?”   Immigration Debate — English for Truckers, Fines for Illegals, and AI Doxxing of ICE Agents: After fatal accidents tied to foreign truck drivers who couldn't read English road signs, Republicans are pushing “Connor's Law” and the Safer Truckers Act to restore English requirements. Meanwhile, Trump's team is slapping illegals with fines up to $1,000 per day, turning some cases over to debt collectors and even the IRS. In Europe, activist Dominick Skinner is using AI to unmask U.S. ICE officers online. Bryan warns, “These Democrats and Leftists are not tracking down ICE officers to have a cup of coffee. They're looking to drop Molotov cocktails on their heads.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump National Guard New Orleans, Title 32 vs Title 10 authority, Trump crime crackdown polls, 2026 midterm conventions Trump Democrats, America 250th anniversary giant flag, Trump flag burning ban Supreme Court, Connor's Law Safer Truckers Act English requirement, immigrant truck driver fatal crash, Trump fines illegal immigrants $1000 per day, ICE debt collectors IRS, Dominick Skinner AI doxxing ICE agents, Marsha Blackburn Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act

Are you a maker or a taker?  We've made nothing but the good stuff on this episode: automaker OEs forgetting who owns the cars they sold (you) and taking away the performance over the phone (and forgetting the rules of Right-To-Repair as outlined by champs like Steve Wozniak and the federal case against John Deere).  Speaking of tractors, we've got a study of the big-head elitist media whackos at NPR who are either pretending they just discovered tractor pulling or they're actually that clueless.  There's also the new measurement of horse-pounds (when HP and FT-LBs ain't enough), Camping World's big American flags and even bigger FU to every city that complains about 'em, some thoughts about the hazards of folks who break into your country being allowed to drive 40,000lb not-very-guided cruise missiles, and some great video of a small Philippines Coast Guard cruiser outsmarting two Chinese warships into ramming each other. Backing it all up - literally and metaphorically - is The Prodigy and a proper Excellent Weirdo RIP for classic English acting oddball Terrence Stamp (if you haven't seen him in "The Limey", you're missing out - dude could act, and that movie's got fire and some high-Q ass-kicking).

Trump Has a Plan to Reform America's Elections. The Lone Star Lockup, Illegal Truckers. Crossroads with Joshua Philipp A new movement is starting to remake America's election laws, and President Donald Trump says he will lead this effort. Also, Texas is opening up its equivalent of Florida's Alligator Alcatraz. Their newly opened immigration detention facility, which is now the largest in the United States, is being dubbed “Lone Star Lockup.” And in other news, an illegal immigrant trucker accused of killing a family of three while driving across several lanes sparks a movement to identify illegal immigrants in the truck driving industry. We'll discuss these topics, and others, in this episode of Crossroads.

The Democrats are in a state of panic, and their desperation is showing. A federal judge appointed by Barack Obama has ordered the closure of the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention facility, citing environmental concerns and ordering the infrastructure to be ripped up. The hosts argue that this is a politically motivated move to halt the deportation of illegal immigrants, who they believe are "future Democrat voters." They contend that the judge's actions are a prime example of the left's "punitive judicial overreach" and their fight to keep a specific demographic in the country to change the census and gain political power. The hosts also celebrate Senator Marco Rubio's new policy, which suspends the issuance of truck driving licenses to foreigners. They connect this action to a recent fatal accident involving an illegal immigrant truck driver, arguing that this is a common-sense safety measure that will also create jobs for American truckers who have been losing work to illegal immigrants willing to work for "dirt." The conversation highlights the hosts' belief that the Democratic party has disdain for American citizens and that these recent events show that the "war with you" has been escalated. They end on a positive note, saying "we are winning" and that these developments are "the beginning of the good news."

Through awareness campaigns, education, and innovative health solutions, Project 61 seeks to empower drivers, carriers, and industry stakeholders to take action toward a healthier, more sustainable future for the trucking workforce. By addressing critical wellness challenges - including nutrition, fitness, mental health, and preventive care - Project 61 is working to change the trajectory of drivers' lives and extend careers that are vital to the nation's economy. Key Takeaways: Project 61: The Mission to Give Truckers a Longer, Healthier Life In “Project 61: The Mission to Give Truckers a Longer, Healthier Life”, Joe Lynch and Jeremy Reymer, the Founder and CEO of Project 61, discuss the shocking statistic that the average life expectancy of a truck driver is just 61 years and the organization's mission to address this health crisis. The Trucking Industry's Health Crisis: Project 61 is founded on a shocking statistic: the average life expectancy of a CDL driver is only 61 years old. This fact serves as the primary motivator for the organization and its mission. The podcast should emphasize this data point to highlight the urgency and severity of the issue, framing it not just as a health problem, but as an industry-wide epidemic that needs immediate attention from all stakeholders. Jeremy Reymer's Passion and Experience: Reymer's background as a seasoned leader and innovator in the trucking industry provides him with unique credibility. His previous success with DriverReach, a company he founded and sold, demonstrates his ability to identify a problem, develop a technology-driven solution, and lead a successful venture. This personal journey from a carrier and vendor to a nonprofit founder shows his deep commitment to the future of trucking beyond just business. Addressing Wellness Challenges: The podcast can delve into the specific health challenges that Project 61 aims to tackle. These include nutrition, fitness, mental health, and preventive care. The unique lifestyle of a long-haul truck driver—with its sedentary nature, isolation, and often unhealthy food options on the road—contributes to high rates of chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes. Discussing these specific issues will give listeners a concrete understanding of the problem. The Power of Community and Technology: Project 61's approach isn't just about awareness; it's about providing practical, accessible solutions. The organization recently acquired Offshift, a digital health platform specifically designed for truck drivers. This shows a commitment to leveraging technology and community to foster habit change and provide free tools and resources that drivers can use on the road. This technological component is a key part of the strategy to make a tangible difference. Beyond the Individual Driver: The mission of Project 61 extends to the entire industry. The nonprofit aims to empower not just drivers, but also carriers and other industry stakeholders. The podcast can highlight how investing in driver health is beneficial for businesses, leading to reduced healthcare costs, higher retention rates, and improved safety. This reframes driver health as a smart business investment, not just a moral obligation. A Collaborative Movement: Reymer's work with organizations like Next Generation in Trucking and the Indiana Motor Truck Association underscores his belief in a collaborative approach. The podcast can stress that solving this crisis requires a unified movement involving carriers, vendors, insurance partners, and the media. This collaborative spirit is central to Project 61's strategy of creating an industry-wide change.

  Larry Crafard - The Leads the Warren Commission Lost Part 1 & 2 at Kennedys & King Larry sparked John's interest as it seems he was sort of pushed out of the Warren Commission. Crafard testified before the Warren Commission over the course of three days. Leads were not followed up on. People feel Crafard has some similarities with Oswald. Was he an Oswald imposter? Crafard was tracked down to his sister's in Michigan after JFK and Lee were murdered. Robert Kermit Patterson went to Naval Intelligence in Dallas He reported that he'd seen Oswald in his club but it was Crafard. Waitress Mary Lawrence said she saw Ruby and Crafard together at the B&B Cafe the morning of the assassination. Gloria Fillman confirmed that she went to the B&B Restaurant with Crafard and Ruby. Washburn sat down and plotted out Crafard's timeline after Crafard left Dallas. Earl Ruby described getting a telephone call telling him that Oswald had been shot. When the FBI visited the Carousel Club, Andy Armstrong supplied the FBI with Crafard's mail and notebook. John felt that the FBI was very efficient in trying to find information on Crafard. They did not want to probe Ruby. The American public had to be convinced that the government, police and Warren Commission had things under control. The aim of the Warren Commission was to determine that Oswald was the lone shooter. Crafard's FBI testimony on Thanksgiving Day to the FBI was pretty thorough. Crafard's alibi for 11/22/63 is questionable. Crafard stated in 1st interview that Armstrong had woken him up at the Carousel Club. Incredibly, Crafard undermines his testimony from 1st statement, changed times he had interacted with Armstrong. Armstrong didn't give Crafard an alibi until January of 1964. This alibi didn't match Crafard's testimony. Was Crafard on a bus, headed out of Dealey Plaza, in order to confuse people? Ruby was at the Dallas Morning News at the time of JFK's assassination. Ruby could see Dealey Plaza from the office window. Detective Jim Leavelle arrived at the Tippit murder scene approximately about 1:30 PM. Did Leavelle deal with the 2nd wallet? After Dan Rather saw the Zapruder film, he tried to mislead the public, lying and stating Jack's head shot forward. Was Mary Bledsoe on the bus with Oswald? Did Oswald and a blonde woman get off Mary's bus? Did police board the bus? Was Crafard taken off Mary Beldsoe's bus to help take care of Office Tippit? Was he at the scene when Tippit was shot? Warren Commission's Leon Hubert and Burt Griffin did not feel that Crafard was a shooter. Officer Kenneth Croy arrived on the Tippit scene at the same time as Officer Hill. Bill DeMar testified that he felt he saw Lee Harvey Oswald in the Carousel Club. Could it have been Larry Crafard that he saw? Dan Rather's testimony actually destroys the "Magic Bullet Theory". Did Ruby think there was a plot to murder John Connelly? Was he surprised when he found out JFK had been murdered instead? The Warren Commission requested a search on Crafard's social security number to see where he had been employed. A Carousel Club stripper said that Crafard had a police badge and was impersonating being a police officer. What was hanging up in Tippit's car? Was it a shirt? Was it a jacket? Leavelle stated he didn't realize there was a connection between JFK’s murder and Tippit's murder. Len and John discuss Crafard's timeline into Michigan. Who would he need to see in Chicago?Ray McGinnis @ 1:04:39 April 3, 2025 verdict in Trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber: View Here Ray's analysis of the April 3rd verdict: View Here Anna Farrow's August 3rd article in The Rewrite: View Here Editorial Board, "The Crown versus The Truckers," Wall Street Journal, July 24, 2025: View Here Tristin Hopper, "From killings to rape, the heinous crimes that could get you less jail time than a Freedom...

Most truckers didn't sign up for this job to spend hours haggling with brokers or chasing paperwork. They want to drive, make money, and get home, without the constant back-office grind.That's where Hey Bubba AI comes in. It's a multilingual voice assistant that books loads, negotiates rates, and handles the admin work so drivers can focus on what they actually enjoy: driving and earning.On this episode of ThinkFreight, I sat down with Tapan Chaudhari, the founder of Bubba AI, to dig into how AI is changing the game for owner-operators and small fleets. We talk about why so much trucking tech feels disconnected from drivers, how Bubba is different, and where AI could take the industry over the next five years.If you've been skeptical about AI in trucking, or you're just curious how tech can make life on the road easier (without replacing drivers), this one's worth a listen.-----------------------------------
