What are the biggest hurdles women face in the trucking industry, and how can we collectively tackle them without waiting for government help? Join us on the Rollin' 18 Podcast as we uncover six critical challenges that women truck drivers confront daily. From negative perceptions and training barriers to unsatisfactory company cultures and gender discrimination, we don't shy away from the tough conversations. We also highlight the importance of community support in driving change. Plus, stay tuned for a heartwarming segment on Shooter Jennings' tribute to his legendary father, Waylon Jennings, with more details in our upcoming episodes.
Beyond the industry struggles, we delve into the essence of driving ethics and respect on the road. Through personal stories and reflections, we explore how small acts of kindness and patience can transform the driving experience for everyone. We nostalgically recall the camaraderie among truckers in the past and express our longing to revive that spirit. The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder: maintaining a positive attitude and showing kindness can not only improve our day but also uplift those around us. Let’s strive for a more respectful and harmonious road culture. Stay safe, stay positive, and keep a steady course in life. God bless!

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Breaker 1-9.
Hello drivers, welcome toRollin' 18 Podcast.
I'm your host, walter Gallin.
Appreciate you folks listeningto and or downloading my podcast
.
I'm going to put all the linksdown below.
People have asked me oh, youknow, at separate times.
Am I on Instagram?
(00:30):
Am I on YouTube?
I was only on Rumble X andInstagram, but now I opened up a
YouTube account as well,started a brand new one
specifically for Roland 18.
That way, you guys can see asmuch content or hear as much
content as you want.
I promise you, if you type inRoland 18 podcast on Google, it
(00:51):
will show you a bunch of stuff.
The only thing it's not reallyshowing is Rumble, and I'm
pretty sure because Google ownsYouTube.
Their algorithms don't want youinvolved with that other
platform.
But I think Rumble is a goodplace to be as well.
A lot of people are on Rumble.
It is a good platform.
Today, I'm going to talk abouttwo things.
Number one I'm going to talkabout Waylon Jennings, and
(01:11):
that's going to be at the end ofthis podcast Some great news
about what his son, shooterJennings, just released.
I think it's very important.
First of all, we're going totalk about the study which
identifies issues keeping womenfrom becoming truck drivers.
I'm not going to read the wholestory because of time
constraints today, but I amgoing to read the six problems
(01:32):
and issues that they'veidentified that are the
challenges for women on the roadtoday.
There's a lot of places outthere saying that women in
trucking is around 15-20%.
It is not, unfortunately.
Women in trucking has beengoing down because I don't know
why.
Because simply because thegovernment is not doing
something right, the schools arenot doing something right,
truck stops, people on the road,who knows?
(01:54):
But we want to change thatbecause we think women on the
road is very important to ourmix.
Women bring a lot of value to alot of things.
We are all equal even thoughwe're different in many ways,
and the value of a woman is justas important as the woman that
designed the coordinates for therocket ship to come back into
space back in the 60s, or thewoman that designed the
(02:16):
code-breaking technology in the40s in order to break code, but
realized that whatevermathematical equation she came
up with also helped invent Wi-Fi.
Yes, it's all out there.
It's all public information.
Now, the six problems that theyidentified and the reason.
I'm only going to read theproblems and the issues.
I want you guys to click on thelink down below, read the
(02:37):
entire story, think about allthe problems and the issues,
give me your feedback and in acouple of weeks we'll do another
podcast that we can solvetogether, and hopefully we can
do it without the government'smillions of dollars because
that's what they give to allthese truck companies and truck
training places to try and helpidentify these problems, and yet
they don't solve anything.
(02:57):
We know what we say about thegovernment when they get
involved with money they spend alot of money but they don't
solve anything.
Now they say the first problemis negative industry image and
perception.
They say the issues isinequitable social norms, misuse
of social media, lack ofyounger drivers and aging
workforce.
We'll get into all that when wehave the big debate in an
(03:21):
upcoming podcast, but right nowI want you guys to go over all
this, read it, absorb it, giveme your feedback and let's work
on this together.
Problem number two unable tocomplete truck driver training.
They say the issue is inabilityto pay for the training, lack
(03:43):
of driving skills, ability orknowledge, no or limited access
to child care, excessive travelto and from school.
Problem number threeunsatisfactory motor carrier
company culture.
They say the issues are unclearand inconsistent.
Communication with drivers thatgoes for male or female.
Absence of recognition andappreciation initiatives that is
also true for all drivers.
Problem number four inabilityto acclimate to the OTR driver
(04:07):
lifestyle Issue, insufficienthome time, inability to
establish and sustain healthyhabits and probably a few other
items.
Problem number five limitedparking and restroom facility
access.
Problem number five limitedparking and restroom facility
access.
They say the issue is shortageof available safe parking, lack
of clean restrooms that is true.
(04:28):
Problem number six excessivegender harassment and
discrimination.
Now you would think that wouldbe all over the road.
Well, it's not.
Most of the complaints arecoming and the issue is
discrimination during training,concern over personal safety,
probably out within the truckstops and driving down the road,
things like that.
(04:49):
Ladies and gentlemen, we are allreal truck drivers, except for
those that don't act like it.
We are the largest industry inthe world.
We need to act like it.
I've always said that.
But as far as personal safetygoes, that is everybody's
responsibility to help protecteverybody out there on the road.
Do not pretend when you see anissue or a dangerous situation
(05:09):
come up on somebody that you'renot involved, because once you
see it, you're involved and youneed to get involved.
Enough of this pulling thecameras out and filming stuff.
Get out and help other drivers.
We're going to go over this.
Like I said before, we're goingto try and solve like I said
before, we're going to try andsolve this problem with women in
trucking.
We're going to try and getthose numbers up.
Now about Waylon Jennings.
If you go on Facebook and go toWaylon Jennings official page,
(05:32):
it will have a blue check mark.
You will see that about sixdays ago, shooter Jennings
posted a post a really cool postabout his dad and their band
and other people on this WaylonJennings Facebook page and I
want to read it to you verbatimbecause it's important.
He says I was going to makethis post yesterday, but
(05:52):
unfortunately yesterday belongedto the loving memory of our
dear friend Jeremy Tepper, whojust passed away.
So today, on Father's Day, Iwanted to tell you all a short
story and also give you somevery exciting news.
When I was young, in the housethat I grew up in, there was a
room that was always locked.
The storage room is what myparents called it.
(06:14):
I have vivid memories of dozensof gray boxes and cubby holes
with notes, notes jotted inmarker on the outside.
I knew what it was, and whatwas in those boxes was my dad's
work.
In 2002, when Waylon Jenningsmade his exit from Earth, those
tapes were in storage in hisoffice and in various studios
(06:36):
around Nashville.
In 2008, with the help offriends, family and band members
, those tapes were alltransferred to digital drives.
In 2014, we had themtransferred yet again to more
modern drives, but still theysat waiting.
Honestly, I didn't have the time, the tools or the resources, or
maybe I just wasn't ready forit.
(06:57):
Either way, I found myself herewith Sunset Sound Studio 3 at
my disposal, with my greatassistant engineer, nate Haisley
, helping me.
We took out the drives and weplugged them in.
What I expected to find was acatalog of all of my dad's
albums and recordings.
I knew there were a few songsthat were never released for
(07:19):
whatever reasons, so I had myfingers crossed that I would
maybe find something special andrare along the way that I could
share with you.
What I found was a massivehistorical documentation of a
man and a band with anincredible friendship,
incredible work, ethic and deeppassion for playing and
recording music.
What I found was way beyond mywildest fantasies and after
(07:43):
reviewing hundreds of reels oftape, nate and I finally came to
the end of the material.
So today, he said, on Father'sDay, on the day after his
birthday and Nate Haisley'sbirthday as well, I want to take
a moment to make a very specialannouncement.
And now here's the importantpart.
He says I am in possession of atreasure trove of previously
(08:05):
unheard full band WaylandJennings multi-track recordings
from the 70s and early 80s.
I have begun preparing thematerial to be mixed right here
in Snake Mountain on thisbeautiful 1976 Demedio Custom
API console.
Now he says these are not demosand these are not unfinished
work, but they will take sometime to explore, pre-mix and mix
(08:29):
.
Or prepare and mix is what hesaid.
But you've got something tolook forward to.
And then at the end he puts themost fantastic sentence I've
ever seen in my life there willbe new classic Waylon Jennings
music in 2025.
Stay tuned, ladies andgentlemen, my heart is full.
Waylon Jennings was one of mytop 10 performers.
(08:51):
Artists, singers, you name it,whatever you want to name it.
He was an awesome man.
He was put on this planet for avalid reason.
He changed a lot of lives.
His lyrics, his sound, the wayhe presented himself all that
was extremely important to thepeople that we grew up and fell
in love with.
That could make our heartshappy with the type of music
(09:13):
that they played.
Look, ladies and gentlemen, Iwas born in Los Angeles you know
what I'm saying City boy, but Igrew up to love all types of
music, all different types, andmy most favorite music out there
in the world is classic rockand classic country.
It has depth, it has soul, ithas meaning and it showed me
things in my mind that I neverthought I would ever be able to
(09:36):
see.
We all love good music.
We all have our favoriteartists.
We all have our favorite visionof what life looks like.
Going down the road with thatawesome tune playing in your
ears, that wonderful sunset thatyou see while you're cruising
down the road, you know that onemoment in your entire horrific
day that makes you think thatbeing on the road is a-okay,
(09:57):
that makes you think that beingon the road is A-OK.
Drivers put up with a lot.
We always do, we always will,and I believe that if we can
satisfy our soul just a fewmoments a day out of all the
trials and tribulations we gothrough on the highway, through
the cities, the delays, thewaiting in docks for hours to
unload or unload.
(10:17):
I believe if we can find onemoment a day that fills our
heart, it'll last us 24 hours,because that's who we are.
That's the kind of stuff we putup with.
I'm not saying we're perfect.
We're far from perfect.
In fact, I would almost bet youit takes a very imperfect
person to be able to put up withlife out on the big road in a
(10:39):
semi, and that's why I don'tunderstand why four-wheelers
don't gather around andcelebrate us just a little bit
more.
They know what we're putting upwith.
They kind of sense the type ofthings that we have to sacrifice
in order to deliver the goodsthat these four-wheelers want to
order.
If they would just give us alittle bit more patience and a
little bit more time, I think wewould start acting a little bit
(11:01):
better.
But never let your conscience,never let your anger, never let
anything that gets in your mindthat turns to spoil get in your
way of being safe and drivinglike a professional, because the
more we do that, the more mostfour-wheelers will respect us
like they did back in the 70sand 80s.
(11:22):
I've always loved being a truckdriver, ever since the day I
started.
There are times I wish trucksdidn't exist, not because
they're out on the road, butbecause the way certain people
drive them, but because the waycertain people don't follow
ethics when it comes to being ina truck stop and the way
society treats us a lot of timesnot building enough parking
spots, not understanding what wego through when we stop for the
(11:44):
night at a truck stop or at aplace of our choosing.
It takes a lot out of us and wesacrifice a lot from our wives,
from our husbands, our children.
We have to do better and I knowwe can do better.
We can turn this trend aroundof hating each other to
something that is more honorable, like we used to have, and I
know it can happen and I'm goingto keep advocating for that.
(12:06):
I'm going to push for it.
But I want each and every pairof ears listening to this
podcast to start one thing rightaway Be patient, relax.
Before you open your mouth andshoot out a bunch of vile words
on the CB, or stick your handout the window and give out the
infamous bird.
Try real hard to understandthat you're in the same position
(12:27):
everybody else is.
So ignore the hostility, ignorethe pain, ignore the suffering
and start trying to do thingsthat make people happy, that
make us respect us just a littlebit more.
I was stopped at theintersection the other day.
I definitely got there first.
Guy was directly across me,going the opposite way, but he
was turning the same direction Iwas going to turn in.
I waved at him to go first,because he's a car and I'm a big
(12:51):
truck.
I'm a lot heavier.
It takes me a while to get upto speed.
I let him go.
He was very happy to see thatbecause he looked at me and he
was going to do the right thingand wait for me to make that
right turn so he can make theleft and then be stuck behind me
.
But when I did the right thingand let him go ahead of me
because I knew he would be goneby the time I even got up to
full speed.
So why even choke him out andmake him wait?
(13:14):
If you're in an intersection andsomebody is going to make a
left or a right and they'regoing to go the same direction
you are, but you have the rightto get ahead of them.
Please don't.
You're a truck, you're heavy.
Do the right thing, let thefour-wheeler go, let them get
ahead of you and then go aheadand cruise out there, because
it's going to take you a whileto get up to speed.
Those are the small,insignificant things that we
(13:34):
think are irrelevant, butthey're not, because that one
little action probably just toldthat four-wheeler hey, maybe
big trucks aren't so bad.
I love being a truck driver andI love all you guys that are
out there driving truck.
And new music is coming.
We've got a lot to be thankfulfor.
This man died in 2002 and in2025 we are going to get new
(13:59):
albums from him.
This is the type of things thatshould make you excited.
These are the type of thingsthat should make you smile
greatly.
So if you're out there andsomebody's grumpy that day and
they spew out some nasty stuffat you or whatever somebody's
grumpy that day and they spewout some nasty stuff at you or
whatever, just smile and say youknow what driver it's going to
(14:21):
be.
Okay, you can even watch themfreak out because they're like
hey, I just treated this guylike garbage and he's being nice
to me.
What happened?
Kindness happened and that'sthe one thing that should happen
more often.
As always, god bless, be safe.
We'll see you next time.
Keep it between the lines,driver.
Thank you.

It takes a lot out of us and wesacrifice a lot from our wives,
from our husbands, our children.
We have to do better and I knowwe can do better.
We can turn this trend aroundof hating each other to
something that is more honorable, like we used to have, and I
know it can happen and I'm goingto keep advocating for that.
(12:06):
I'm going to push for it.
But I want each and every pairof ears listening to this
podcast to start one thing rightaway Be patient, relax.
Before you open your mouth andshoot out a bunch of vile words
on the CB, or stick your handout the window and give out the
infamous bird.
Try real hard to understandthat you're in the same position
(12:27):
everybody else is.
So ignore the hostility, ignorethe pain, ignore the suffering
and start trying to do thingsthat make people happy, that
make us respect us just a littlebit more.
I was stopped at theintersection the other day.
I definitely got there first.
Guy was directly across me,going the opposite way, but he
was turning the same direction Iwas going to turn in.
I waved at him to go first,because he's a car and I'm a big
(12:51):
truck.
I'm a lot heavier.
It takes me a while to get upto speed.
I let him go.
He was very happy to see thatbecause he looked at me and he
was going to do the right thingand wait for me to make that
right turn so he can make theleft and then be stuck behind me
.
But when I did the right thingand let him go ahead of me
because I knew he would be goneby the time I even got up to
full speed.
So why even choke him out andmake him wait?
(13:14):
If you're in an intersection andsomebody is going to make a
left or a right and they'regoing to go the same direction
you are, but you have the rightto get ahead of them.
Please don't.
You're a truck, you're heavy.
Do the right thing, let thefour-wheeler go, let them get
ahead of you and then go aheadand cruise out there, because
it's going to take you a whileto get up to speed.
Those are the small,insignificant things that we
(13:34):
think are irrelevant, butthey're not, because that one
little action probably just toldthat four-wheeler hey, maybe
big trucks aren't so bad.
I love being a truck driver andI love all you guys that are
out there driving truck.
And new music is coming.
We've got a lot to be thankfulfor.
This man died in 2002 and in2025 we are going to get new
(13:59):
albums from him.
This is the type of things thatshould make you excited.
These are the type of thingsthat should make you smile
greatly.
So if you're out there andsomebody's grumpy that day and
they spew out some nasty stuffat you or whatever somebody's
grumpy that day and they spewout some nasty stuff at you or
whatever, just smile and say youknow what driver it's going to
(14:21):
be.
Okay, you can even watch themfreak out because they're like
hey, I just treated this guylike garbage and he's being nice
to me.
What happened?
Kindness happened and that'sthe one thing that should happen
more often.
As always, god bless, be safe.
We'll see you next time.
Keep it between the lines,driver.
Thank you.
