S1E22 Breaker One-Nine: Ground Shaker’s Legacy and the Changing Meaning of Independence
Manage episode 506454454 series 3689929
In the Bulletin Board segment, we uncover a legacy that stretches across generations—a Facebook post from Nick Clendaniel led us to a CB card collection, a long-lost documentary, and a family whose handles were as legendary as their road stories. Ground Shaker. Tear Drop. Pepsi Girl. Dream Weaver. This is CB radio culture at its finest.
In the Pre-Trip, we check the gauges with our Quote of the Week and take a winding book review detour through Lot Lizards by Fred Greene.
Then in The Money Line, things get personal. A prank call turns into a gut check. A forgotten trucking memoir makes us question how we define freedom. And a Facebook fight over what it means to be an "Owner Operator" pushes host Tony to reevaluate his own assumptions. This segment isn’t just about trucking—it’s about how the American Dream got rebranded… and sold off.
Whether you’re a CB veteran or a new-school driver trying to make sense of today’s freight landscape, this episode’s got something for you. It’s raw, it’s reflective, and it’s one for the archives.
📡 This one’s a double-clutch hit of history, heart, and hard truth. Don’t miss it AND don't for get to press Subscribe
