I want to express gratitude and appreciation to all of the listeners of the podcast and readers of this Substack who have stuck with me thus far, and those of you who have tolerated my gravely and monotonous voice for 100 episodes. Without you here, I have no reason to do this, and I thank you for your time and attention.
For episode 100 I bring you the man who brought me into this world (well, I guess my mom would deserve some credit, too, but she ain’t here anymore) and helped make me who I am, My Dad.
There would be none of this without him, and none of the commentary and writing on the trucking industry without the family legacy, which involves Dad, Uncle Chris, my late Uncle Bruce, and my late Grandfather, Sergeant James E Magill.
Dad and I discuss much of the family history and more in this extended conversation, which I hope you enjoy as much as I have enjoyed producing all of these shows and writing for you.
