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.

Channel 19 on the CB is pretty much gone, but the Channel 19 Experience can live on as a community.

S1E25 – CB Chatter, Brisket Smoke & My Co-Pilot Kawanna on the Mic
From freight market headwinds to the scent of slow-smoked brisket in the backyard, Episode 25 delivers a full plate. We kick things off with a profit calculator comparison, dig into English Language Provision enforcement, and look at a rail merger that could shake up lanes. Then we ease into a Money Line that connects patience, timing, and Kawanna’s brisket to trucking economics. Finally, my co-pilot of over 20 years jumps on the mic for some laughs, memories, and a taste of her perspective on our mutual trucking lives.
