Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
share with you on our daily podcast. People who drive
trucks for a living, that that's their career are the
(00:22):
most underappreciated people. I think in the world. Everything you buy,
everything you eat, everything you consume, everything that you watch,
every device you own has probably been brought there by
a truck driven by a truck driver. Do you ever
think of how exhausting that career is? And yet when
(00:45):
there's a shipping crisis, we notice.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
We don't notice when they're consistent, when they're on time,
when they're able to get the goods to places. But boy,
when the shipping crisis hits and we can't get apart
for our car for three months or whatever, then all
of a sudden we take notice of how difficult that
job is. If you are listening to me right now
while you are driving, I appreciate you. Hi, Jay, Welcome
(01:13):
to the Delilah Show. I understand you're driving a truck tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yes I am what are you hauling juice?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Juice? Yes, an eighteen wheeler filled with juice?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yes, forty pounds of juice.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
That would make.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
A really big stain, a really big mess.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yes, it would, So you stay.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Awake and drive carefully. Who's on your heart? My daughter names.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Here, Dad, Alyssa and Nicole?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
How old are the girls six and nine? And did
they miss Dad terribly when you're out on the road.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yes, Unfortunately me and their mom are separate into borse.
We've been for a year and a half. I get
my girls once a month, and I just had them
last Friday, and we were listening to your show, and
I told them I would try to get the lila'sa
dedicated songs for us, And oh aren't.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You a sweet daddy? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Did you have a song on your heart for Alissa
and Nicolor?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Can I find one for them?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I would love you to find one for me.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I will do that. You drive carefully, and I appreciate
you so much.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I know I never really spent a lot of energy
thinking about what grueling work that is. But how we
would have nothing?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yes, And I wish the drivers out here would realize.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I'd say, we would have none of this stuff that
we just drive to the store and pop in our
cards and pay for and walk out with We wouldn't
have access to any of that without you men and
women that make these huge sacrifices to bring it to us.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So thank you, Oh you're welcome, and thank you. Love
your show. I listened to it every night.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You'd be saved. God bless you, Jay.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Thank you you too, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
For calling the Delilah Show. Who is this missus?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Cassidy?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Hi, Cassidy? What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
I just want to say hi to my dad and
tell him that I miss him very much.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
How old are you, Cassidy?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I'm nine?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And what's your daddy's name.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
My dad's name is Charles.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Why are you missing your daddy?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
He's not home very much, So I just want to
say hi and tell him that I love him.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So he's not home because of his job, or he's
not home because he's in the military.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Because he's a truck driver and he has to go
to places like Canada a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So I have a saying about truck drivers, and you
probably have heard it. If you bought it, a truck
driver probably brought it. Have you ever heard that?
Speaker 6 (03:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Pretty much everything you buy at the store, everything shoes
and clothes and food and paper, towels, and all that
stuff that we go to the store and get, like
lettuce and tomatoes and apples, those are all brought to
the store by truck drivers, like your dad.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Isn't that cool? If you bought it, a truck driver
probably brought it. And I appreciate truck drivers, men and
women who bring all the stuff we need, like medical
supplies and lumber to build our houses and everything. Does
(04:40):
your dad work for a specific store or does he
just go wherever they send him?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
He goes wherever they send them, wherever he wherever he
gets sent.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
All right, I will I will play a song for
your daddy, and I hope you're able to give him
a big hug really soon.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Okay, okay, thank you, Delilah.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Hi, good evening. Who is this? Hi, Tiffany, how are
you this evening?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Oh? I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
How are you just okay?
Speaker 7 (05:18):
What that that wasn't a very convincing Okay?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
No, Well, I've been seeing a guy for about four
months and this is the first time I've been involved
in a relationship with the guys for a very long time,
and I thought it was getting pretty serious, and that
two weeks ago he told me that he was going
to become a truck driver, and so he's leaving and
(05:43):
he'll be gone for about twelve weeks before he'll even
be back into town and then he's going over the road.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
He's leaving right now for school for the training. And
did he say, I'm leaving for training. I want to
stay in touch, I want to call you every day,
I want to be involved with you. Or did he
just say I'm gone and see you wouldn't want to.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Be a No, he's saying that he still wants to
keep in touch and keep in contact and that you know,
it's not the end of anything, and he'll see me
when he gets to come in. But I'm a truck
driver myself, and i'm local now. I used to beat
over the roads, so I know how that goes. I
know how often he's going to get in, and I
just know how it is out there.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
So you're saying, you know, for you, it's not good
to be involved with the truck driver. That's not what
you want for your life.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, no, not really. It's very hard to have a
relationship with somebody who's out there. I haven't told him
any of that, you know, I've tried to be encouraging and.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Well, thank goodness you told me instead of him. See
that's what girlfriends are for. Yes, so we can talk
these things through before we open our mouth.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Yeah, and I'm good with that. They can my foot
right in there.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Let me find a song for you too. Good luck, honey, Thanks,
bye bye bid.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
My name is Mary. How you doing this season?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Mary?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I am wonderful. What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Why? It's been a nice anniversaries? Next month we'll be
married thirty one years.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Tell me about your husband. Tell me why how you've
managed to stay together for over three decades.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Well, his name is Randy. He's a truck driver, and
we'll get along pretty good. We're bicker every now and then.
We have two girls. One one's getting right turned twenty one.
She just moved out last nus. And then my other
one is thirty one.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So who's the first to say I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Well, you see me?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So that tells me that Randy can be a tiny
dad bit small amount stubborn sometimes.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, and he spoiled too. I give him a snack
every day to take with him to work and call
him every you know, every now and then to make
sure he's doing okay, on the road, he's ho him
every night.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
He just drives locally.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He does what's called a dedicated route, so he delivers
to Walmart's sand club.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
But if he's home every night, that's rare for somebody
who's on the road.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
That's why he's doing a dedicated route because he gets
anywhere from four to five hundred miles a day, and
what's two to four to five hundred miles a day?
And he still makes it home every now and he
gets stuck out on the road that usually makes it home.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
He does a dedicated route, and he's got a dedicated.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Wife, yes ma'am.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And now he's got a Delilah doing a dedicated song.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yes, ma'am. I appreciate it. I love your show. I
listen to it all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Well, I will try to keep you two close together,
even when you're four or five hundred miles apart. How's that.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
That's fine? Thank you very much. You have a nice evening.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
much as I enjoy bringing them to you. I'll share
