Send us a textIn this episode of The Rural Dispatch, I sit down with Jeremy Behrens to talk about his journey from hauling livestock with Smoke and their dad, to running his own one-man trucking operation. We dive into what it takes to get started in trucking today, the pros and cons of new technology, and the importance of a driver’s role in the bigger business picture. Jeremy shares his take on FMCSA regulations, ELDs, and the air-mile radius for livestock haulers, plus the insurance hurdles that come with running trucks. We also swap stories about seeing the country from the driver’s seat, the lessons learned on the road, and the so-called “Behrens bad luck.” If you’re thinking about getting into trucking, buying your first truck, or running your own operation, this episode is packed with real-world advice and hard-earned wisdom.Hat Giveaway!As a thank you for tuning in, I’m giving away a hat to one lucky listener!
