• The Realities of Trucking: Truths You Don’t Want to Hear
    Sep 28 2024

    In this episode of Miles & Sacrifice: Life Beyond Cargo, JC takes on the hard truths of the trucking industry. Drawing from personal experience and real, raw comments from the Canadian Truckers Facebook group, we dive into the passionate, unfiltered views of veteran truckers and new drivers alike.

    What makes someone stay in a job so many criticize? Is the lifestyle for everyone?

    From the highs of freedom on the open road to the lows of broken relationships and financial strain, this episode isn’t about sugarcoating—it’s about real talk, real people, and the real struggles and triumphs that define trucking.

    JC is passionate about providing real reviews, not bullshit or fluff. His real push is a result of his granddaughter Abby who was medically neglected and now lives with permanent lung damage as a result of a nurse and doctor.

    JC is attempting to raise money for his granddaughter to help with medical costs.

    It is simple yet complicated!

    The simple part is NO FUEL, NO TRUCKS MOVING! It used to be NO FREIGHT, NO TRUCKS MOVING! However, now we are facing a very serious situation regarding fuel.
