Summary

In this week's episode, Brian and Brian chat with Bobby Jo who shares her wild and intense experiences on the road. She vividly paints the life of a truck driver, highlighting not only the physical dangers of her job, such as narrowly avoiding accidents and dealing with hazardous situations but also the personal challenges she faces as a woman in a male-dominated industry. Bobby Jo’s journey from a dock worker to a respected trucker showcases her resilience and adaptability, reflecting the broader challenges and peculiarities of truck driving, from dealing with unexpected roadside incidents to navigating industry biases against women.
