big rig

Have you ever felt like you might be giving too much at work, putting in those extra miles but worried you're just being taken for a ride? Strap in as I unpack the complexities of being a team player without becoming the team's doormat. I'll share my recent run-in with the fine line of work boundaries after clocking in two weekends straight, and we'll chew over how a fellow driver's reliance on GPS landed him in a heap of legal trouble. And for a dash of levity, I'll toss in a curious celebrity connection to a show that's got my son and me glued to the screen.

Life on the road isn't just about the haul; it's about the heart, too. Join me as I tip my hat to my little cowboy of a son, navigating his charming phase of cowboy hats and youthful romances, while also taking a moment to extend a supportive hand to a colleague dealing with a family heartbreak. I'll bring you into our circle, sharing stories that underscore the unbreakable bonds of family and community that keep us trucking, no matter the load we carry.

And just when you thought it was all truck stops and tie-downs, I rev the engine and take a sharp turn towards the chilling corridors of true crime. Gordon Ramsay's kitchen escapades give us a taste of tough love on TV, but I'm eyeing the rear-view mirror, considering a trip back to podcasting's darker side with "Murder Unraveled." Then, let's navigate the bustling intersection of social media as I contemplate a broader foray into Twitter's tangled web, all while inviting you to connect and share the journey with us across the digital highway.

Episode #074:

In this episode our duo gets down to business right off the bat! What is happening to our jokesters? They have once again shown that in addition to handing out laughter and information they can really do a great interview.

They are talking with Steve Strong, the V.P. of Admissions at the Southwest Truck Driver Training School. Of course, they did begin with a bit of laughter, we have come to expect that of them. Steve hits right back with the puns in his answers and it is such an easy interview that you will be drawn right in!

Our hosts came prepared for the interview with questions that will help those that may be interested in becoming a truck driver. The conversation goes from challenges in career schools and how twenty or so years ago this type of school was getting a bad reputation. This was despite how two- and four-year colleges did not teach things like truck driving, electrical, heating and air conditioning, and such. Steve goes on to explain how these schools have changed over the years and have a much-needed place in our world.

These types of schools fill a gap in training for those that do not want a career that was being offered in a two- or four-year college. And a career that can be taught quickly has advantages when the economy goes up and down.

From there they go on to discuss the distinct types of trucking schools. Yes, there are several types, some are company owned, hiring for their company. Others are independent like Southwest; they train independently of any trucking company. So, drivers can choose the company they want to apply with.

They go on to discuss what S.W.T.D.T. has to offer. The types of packages, the costs, hours, their incredible staff, and programs too. So, the bottom line is, this is such an informative, yet lively conversation. Everyone, whether you are looking to go to school to be a driver or not, will find it fun and informative. Because it will help guide you...

Society wouldn't function without commercial trucks: big rigs, 18-wheelers, cement trucks, tractor-trailers... they bring us the clothes on our back and the food in our fridge and are an essential part of our daily lives. We interact with them every day on our roads and highways, and while those interactions are trouble-free the majority of the time, accidents do happen.

Montlick attorneys Mike and Nathan are in the house this week to talk all things commercial trucks: How the sheer size of these vehicles can affect resulting injuries, how investigations and insurance differs when giant commercial trucking companies are involved, and most importantly, how to protect your rights if you're ever in a collision with a commercial truck.

If you ever share the road with a commercial truck, this episode is a must-listen.   

The purpose of this show is to provide general information about the law. Our guests will not provide any individualized legal advice. If you have a personal situation and need legal advice, contact us nationwide at 1-800-LAW-NEED for your free legal consultation with a Montlick attorney.
