This episode is for the dads — the ones who hauled cattle before sunup, made you work when you got in trouble, and taught you how to let things roll off your back like water on a duck.
For this Father’s Day edition of The Rural Dispatch, we’ve pulled clips from past episodes where guests told stories about their dads — the things they said, the lessons they passed down, and the work ethic they demanded. You’ll hear about trucks, cattle, and the quiet wisdom rural dads are known for.
And at the end? Our boys, Ridge (4) and Royce (2.5), share a few thoughts on their own dad.
Whether you’re a dad, miss your dad, or are raising the next generation of hard-working kids, this one’s for you.
Listen in for:
- Classic dad sayings like “It’ll be fine” and “If you’re not doing anything this weekend…”
- Why so many got into trucking and livestock because of their dads
- Stories that will make you laugh, nod along, and maybe tear up
- An interview with Ridge & Royce to wrap it all up
Tag your dad or someone who’s been like a dad to you — and thanks for listening.
A big thank you to our sponsor, Roll On Dispatch, for supporting this episode. Their all-in-one trucking software makes managing livestock and commodity hauls easier, with tools for dispatching, invoicing, and seamless communication between the office and the road.
