S1E21 – Straighten Up and Roll On: Parking Lot Etiquette, Walcott Jamboree & Road-Tested Truths

Welcome back to the Channel 19 Experience Trucker Podcast! This week, we're double-clutching through trucker culture, road wisdom, and real-world experience.

🛑 First up, we lay down the law on Parking Lot Etiquette—the do’s, don’ts, and downright disgusting. If you’re backing in with your high beams on or leaving your lunch wrappers in the lot, this one’s for you.

🎪 Then we roll into a recap of my day at the Walcott Jamboree at the legendary Iowa 80 Truck Stop. From historical rigs and the Trucker Olympics to a little diesel-fueled prophecy that may or may not have jammed up an overpass—yeah, that happened.

💰 In the Money Line, we talk about adjustment—not your fifth wheel, but your mindset. Tony shares a critical turning point in his trucking career: going from chasing leftovers on the fax machine to learning how real truckers play the game, maximize miles, and level up when the road throws curveballs.
