An Update from the Road
Greetings! It’s been a while, but we’re back with an update on the state of the trucking industry in 2021, and a taste of new projects from the Over the Road team: some music, another podcast, and a book. Long Haul Paul has released a new record called, “Cornbelt Cafe.” Find it wherever you stream and download music, or head over to LongHaulPaulMusic.com. OTR producers Ian Coss and Lacy Roberts recently collaborated on a hybrid podcast/album about marriage, divorce, and the meaning of lifetime commitment. Listen and subscribe to Forever is a Long Time on Apple Podcasts or wherever you find your podcasts. And don’t miss Shining Man, the novel recently published by OTR editor Todd Dills, from our production partner Overdrive Magazine.
