Voice Of GO(r)D is happy to bring back to the show one of the highest energy maniacs in trucking, Mike Lombard of the Lombard Trucking Podcast, and so many other ventures. Mike has been diving deep into the history of the family trucking brand, and shares with us what he has found in a wide ranging discussion on the effects of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 on the industry, and on the company his predecessors built over many decades.
We range over a number of topics including current issues facing the business, and Mike also shares with us updates on his other ventures, including his athletic pursuits, as he gears up for IronMan Texas which takes place very soon, on April 26.
