About this listen

 Ever wondered about the person behind that massive rig zooming down the highway? The stories of dedication, resilience, and sacrifice that accompany them? You're at the right stop. Hey folks, JC here! For those who've been with us, you might recall 'Truckers Have Feelings'. We've shifted gears, digging deeper into the emotional and personal realms of trucking. Welcome to 'Miles & Sacrifice: Life Beyond Cargo'. My bond with the world of trucking isn’t merely observational; it's profoundly personal. A decade in the industry has allowed me to forge connections with some truly incredible truckers, understanding the realities and challenges they consistently tackle. Close friends, and even my son, a dedicated trucker juggling the pressures of the road with family commitments, have enriched my passion for this narrative. Our truckers don't merely transport goods; they're the heartbeat of our nation. They cover vast distances and tackle unforeseen hurdles, all while their families offer unwavering support from afar. So, to all you truckers and your families: this is a heartfelt salute. "Miles & Sacrifice: Life Beyond Cargo" isn't about logistics. It's about those unseen moments: the late-night calls home, birthdays celebrated over a call, and those family milestones missed. It’s the stories that define the soul of trucking. And hey, if you're a trucker, a trucker's kin, or just have a story you believe needs a spotlight, reach out. We want this podcast to resonate with your experiences and stories. We're here to give voice to your tales. For our loyal listeners, brace yourselves! Come 2026, we want to look at bringing a whirlwind of excitement: special draws, goodies, and an outpouring of trucker appreciation. Meanwhile, for the rest of 2025, we will bring quality content, stories and fun! Thank you for being part of this journey, where we blend the realities of life on the road with a mission to make a difference in one little girl's world. Together, we're more than just an audience and a host; we're a community bound by shared stories and compassion. Always remember, behind every roaring engine, every trucker's wave, there's a story waiting to be shared. And we're here, gears in hand, ready to roll it out.© 2022 Social Sciences
