On this inspiring episode of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac sits down with Michael Lombard, a descendant of one of America’s oldest motor carriers. Lombard Bros. Inc., which evolved from horse-drawn carriages to a major Northeast trucking force before deregulation reshaped the industry.
Michael shares his unique journey from Marine Corps service to warehouse work, then to life over-the-road as a trucker, where he overcame huge personal challenges, losing 100 pounds and running five marathons while on the road. Now, as a full-time team member at Truck Parking Club and a part-time fitness and nutrition coach, Michael competes in Ironman Triathlons to raise awareness about the critical health issues facing drivers.
In this conversation, hear why driver health matters more than ever, practical tips for staying fit on the road, and an introduction to Project 61, a movement dedicated to improving wellness in the trucking community.
Whether you’re behind the wheel or supporting the industry, Michael’s story is a powerful reminder that health and legacy go hand in hand.
