"If I write a song, it ends up setting the stage for the path I take later on" often enough, says Jason Lee Wilson in this interview with Red Eye Radio's Eric Harley in advance of the RER/Overdrive Trucker Talent Search, happening later this week at the Great American Trucking Show. Having grown up around trucks and truckers in Monteagle, Tenn., Wilson wrote the "Lynchburg to Nashville" song that was the track in the talent search that got him to this point, in part about a friend's regular run with

Hitting the road with Landstar-leased owner-operator Gary Buchs, of Bloomington, Ill., Overdrive Senior Editor Todd Dills' conversation with Buchs just prior to the July 4 holiday ranged across Buchs' own evolution from a Roadway driver in the 1990s to an owner-operator throughout much of the last decade and a half -- firmly in control of his own destiny -- to broader issues throughout the industry, from company driver pay to views on the federal pursuit of the speed-limiter mandate.

Around a decade ago, Brian Rudisell experienced something that is tragically common among truckers, as reporting by Carolyn Magner last year made abundantly clear. In this edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast, Rudisell details a "suicide by truck" event that derailed his dump bucket hauling for two years, which included reconstructive surgery on his ankle and, essentially, "learning to walk" again. But the physical aspects of recovery from the head-on crash weren't what was the most difficult to

Requiring speed limiters for nearly all on-highway trucks would be a detriment to highway safety, readers say near universally in this mailbag podcast. And, as one reader noted, regulators "will never find out" unless "they get out on the road with us" to see for themselves.

Following news that the U.S. Senate included a measure that could hold import for change in cumulative on-duty limits with restart use, readers sounded off again on just where they feel the hours of service should be.
