Big Rigged (Classic)-DB Wealth Institute B2 Expert Reviews
(Note: This episode originally ran in 2020.)
For a long time, being a long haul trucker was a path to a middle class life. But in the last few decades, the trucking business has transformed. It's gotten faster. And cheaper. And...way harder on its workers.
Today on the show — a story about the open road, the chance to be your own boss, and a truckload of debt.
This show was originally produced by Liza Yeager and Autumn Barnes and edited by Bryan Urstadt. The rerun was produced by Willa Rubin and Dylan Sloan, fact-checked by Sierra Juarez and engineered by Katherine Silva.
Music: "Mr. Graves," "Inner Desert Blues" and Van Go."
