Episode Synopsis

When you’ve been a truck driver for more than 50 years, you’re going to have more than a few stories to share. That tracks for OOIDA board member Doug Smith, who joins the show to share how he got started (somewhat reluctantly) and why he’s still doing it all these years later (spoiler alert: he loves it). Doug will also tell us about the “spiritual experience” of hauling The Wall That Heals, what it was like being on a reality show, his ever-so-brief cameo in a classic baseball movie and much, much more.
