Trucker and singer-songwriter Paul Marhoefer's new "Old Black Epiphone" record follows his participation in the 2015 Trucker Talent Search and his previous record, "Raw Cuts." Recorded in part near his Muncie, Ind., home base -- the other half at Muscle Shoals Music in Tuscumbia, Ala. -- the record tracks in themes of redemption for and reckoning with mistakes of the past. In Marhoefer's case, a lot of that past is trucking, of course. The interview here, intercut with tracks from the record, was

2016/09/20

In the wake of DOT's late-August proposed rulemaking to mandate speed limiters for much of the industry, while many questions remains as to what might finally emerge from the proposal, readers are virtually unequivocal is opposition to it. That's in part for its discounting of the driver's role in highway safety, as is evidenced in this latest mailbag podcast rounding up a bevy of Overdrive reader views.

Asked just what, if any, speed they would choose if a speed-limiter mandate became law and specified a speed setting, nearly half of Overdrive's owner-operator readers indicated none, objecting entirely to the mandate. A slightly larger share chose speeds higher than those analyzed by the Department of Transportation in the recently released proposed rulemaking, for reasons of safety and more. A Maine-based trucker recounted the experience of running across the Western U.S. limited to 65 mph as
