In this episode of The Rural Dispatch, we sit down with one of our longtime drivers, Marty Wilken -- a man whose roots in trucking run deep. With well over 40 years behind the wheel, Marty shares his unforgettable stories from the road. 

We cover everything from his family's start in trucking, dating back four generations, to his wildest stories from the road -- including the time(s) he got arrested. You'll also get a firsthand glimpse of what it's like to run under Behrens dispatch, and of course his go-to meal on the road. You won't want to miss these stories.
