Summary

In Episode 45: The Ghost Rider, we are joined by Ken, who first shared some of his stories from the road on Episode 39: I Broke My Neck On The Job.  Ken's story of driving back to his terminal after breaking his neck was a fan favorite! He had so much to tell about that one experience, we didn't have a chance to explore his many other stories. Thankfully, Ken was glad to come back on the show and share more with us! Not only did he break his neck on the job, but he's seen some crazy things as well. Specifically, Ken tells us about a time he had to drop off a truck at the Canadian border, and on his way he witnessed a green glowing motorcycle, more commonly known as "a Ghost Rider"! So sit back, relax, and check your pulse as Ken takes us on a wild ride!

I noticed his plane was really low.
