Show Notes

Welcome to another episode of Steady at the Wheel, in this episode, we discuss Jaxon’s recent experience as an auctioneer at a benefit for a school where the cast of Yellowstone offered some incredible experiences.  We talk about the Hutterite culture in Montana – customs, farming techniques, and the value of their community lifestyle, and then we get into livestock hauling in our industry.  There are about as many ways to handle livestock as there are producers, but if you want to get into livestock hauling as a trucking career, you better first get a job somewhere that handles livestock, or you’re going to have a horrible time.  We end with stories of gratitude and how thanking the people you interact with as a trucker goes so far as to make life much easier in your travels.

The Steady at the Wheel podcast is hosted by brothers Jaxon and Luke Allen.  They grew up in the 80s, driving truck with their dad, Russ "Rooster" Allen, in his old cabover freightliner - hauling hogs from Fairfield MT back east to South Dakota. Trucking was a family business and the brothers worked and rode alongside Rooster during every season of the year from age 2 through high school and beyond.  From scabbed knuckles that wouldn’t heal to dangerous near-misses with boars and hogs, to breathing soybean and straw dust, what may seem harsh to some was just the way it was back then and the boys are who they are today because of it.  Tune in to future episodes of Steady at the Wheel to hear great old-school stories, entertainment, news, education, and mentorship aimed at a trucking industry audience.
