The Channel 19 Experience Trucker Podcast, hosted by Tony, was born to recreate something amazing he thinks we’ve lost, Channel 19. Tony grew up in trucking and started driving himself in the mid 1990s. The 1990s were sunset of an era, the era before the internet and cell phones took over. Channel 19 thrived in that time between the 1970s and 1990s and created an experience like no other for truck drivers. Truckers were actually more connected then to each other, than to most anything else in our lives. And it was a helluva lot of fun. Truckers are a hilarious diversity of characters that is truly representative of every group in America. And yes we bickered and insulted and not all of it was great, but it was something special and we miss it.

S1E20 The Freight Fight — Independence, Integrity, and Idiocy
This week on the Channel 19 Experience, we’re blowing the smoke off the stack and diving straight into a red, white, and blue mess of headlines and hard truths. It’s Independence Day weekend, and we’re talking freedom with responsibility—starting with a whiny UK article about American trucking policy that didn’t even make it out of first gear.
We break down freight fraud with real talk from brokers and dispatchers—Jason Rabine and Clint Larby expose the double-dealing dumpster fire that’s still burning on the load boards. Then in the Money Line, we dig into a 2011 FMCSA report showing that Limited English Proficiency drivers have higher crash and violation rates—and how California, of all places, practically ghosted enforcement.
And don’t miss our interview with Ryan Carraux from D&E Transport, the dispatcher wrangling Danger Dave and Mile Marker Mike. He shares what it’s like on the ops floor, how dispatchers survive the madness, and who he’d bet on when it really counts (spoiler: somebody’s feelings are gonna get hurt).
Grab a hot dog, hit that Jake brake, and tune in—because freedom ain’t free, and trucking sure as hell ain’t easy.
