Summary
121: Cruising Through a Sandstorm to share more of their experiences from the road. As time, and the job, wears us down, Jamie and Johnson talk about the medical and mental side to driving and how they've been handling different issues of their own. However, that wasn't the only thing we talked about! This episode was chalk full of wonderful and hilarious banter. It was like talking with some old friends. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

Either way it works for us, we'd love to have a conversation with you. Shipper tell them about the voicemail line. Voicemail line, short stories, something you've seen on the road, you know, happened to you. You were a part of, you were the cause of, whatever. You were just a victim of us.
