It’s just Tom and David at the mics today, and there is a massive backlog of life updates to get through. Tom kicks things off with a major bombshell—he went to Cyprus and got married completely in secret. From there, the guys dive into a heavy debate on the skyrocketing costs of weddings, the commercialization of Christmas, and the "dopamine trap" of modern screen time.

David doesn't hold back as he vents about the realities of putting his adult sons to work around the house, detailing the hilariously frustrating text excuses ("I have to wake up") and the shock of entering the real-world workforce. Plus, Tom shares his personal social "rule sets" navigating life and work, David shares a massive epiphany about Phillips-head screwdrivers, and the guys take a look at what AI actually knows about their own show.

Grab your high-vis and turn down your screen brightness—the lads are back, and one of them might be actively losing an eye to a vacuum excavator.

In this episode of Just Another Trucking Podcast, Tom rolls up with a suspicious case of "pink eye" courtesy of a dust-up at work (or a pillow incident, depending on who you ask) that has Gemini sending him straight to the emergency room. Meanwhile, Jamma returns to the rig with some "precarious" site induction stories, explaining how a tight turn through a high-powered wheel wash left his trailer looking like it went a few rounds with a hammer.

Later, the guys test drive a dark but brilliant time-capsule game: if you were buried tomorrow, which three films, two albums, and three prized possessions are going into your coffin pockets to show the future world who you were? From Idiocracy and Jurassic Park to Radiohead and a shrunk-down five-pound box of Twizzlers, the choices are nothing short of chaotic.

Plus, David gives an update on his mobile game's customizable online garage engine, Tom recounts a legendary "butter landing" with a 20-meter cooling tower fan, and the team plays devil's advocate on motorway blind spots.

Welcome back to Just Another Trucking Podcast! This week, Tom and David find themselves "trucking adjacent" as they dive deep into the polarizing world of electric vehicles. Tom shares his first-hand experience going all-electric with his new Toyota Urban Cruiser, debunking range anxiety myths and discussing the bizarre sensation of a car that drives itself.

Meanwhile, David’s wife, Christa, joins the show to provide an "expert" perspective from the insurance world, leading to a heated debate on whether we actually need pickup trucks or if we are all just living in a world of "what ifs."

Highlights from this episode:

The "Annoying PCB" Prank: We read a viral story about a boyfriend who planted a beeping device in his girlfriend's closet during her first week of work. Is it psychological warfare or just an objectively funny prank?

The Terminology Deep-Dive: Things go off the rails as we discover the specific terminology of the queer community. We settle the age-old question: Is David a bear or an otter?

Stardew Valley Scandals: Can you really be jealous of an NPC? We explore the strange reality of partners demanding divorces in farming simulators.

Public Toilet Terrors: Tom recounts a highly uncomfortable 4:00 AM encounter in a South London lay-by that has him questioning personal boundaries.

Whether you're here for the technical truck talk, the Minecraft farming tips, or just to hear us argue about heated seats and hockey romance, we've got you covered.

So let's strap down, let's strap in, and let's do this.

Welcome back to Just Another Trucking Podcast! This week, the boys are back and dealing with more chaos than usual. Tom has officially entered his "vacuum excavation" era, piloting a three-quarter-of-a-million-pound machine that he’s fairly certain is the most dangerous piece of equipment he’s ever operated.

Meanwhile, Jamma is back in the driver's seat of a truck—full-time—and sharing his latest adventures with tight village turns, questionable sat-navs, and why being brutally honest in a job interview is the only way to fly. David is here to keep the peace (mostly) and reminisce about his days telling his boss he was coming for his job.

In this episode, we cover:

• Technical difficulties and our questionable taste in music.
• Job interview horror stories: Why we ask what the retention rate is and how much the weekly take-home really is.
• The "TomTom Go Expert" rant: Why some trucking sat-navs are the worst things ever invented.
• Tom’s new job: Operating a vacuum excavator that sounds like a jet engine and could likely suck up a Jack Russell.
• The Innovation Centre Disaster: How Tom managed to turn a grand opening and a visit from the Mayor into a muddy, oily catastrophe.
• Fuel shortages, the price of diesel, and why Jamma thinks electric cars are just fancy paperweights.
• The "boys" (TV show) octopus trauma and the eternal "did we actually go to the moon?" debate.

In this episode of "Just Another TRUCKING Podcast," hosts Tom and David dive deep into the greasy reality of the trucking world. It’s a bit of a smaller crew today as Jammer is currently in the doghouse with the "Mrs." and Chloe is MIA.

Tom kicks things off by sharing his wild week working as a groundsman for a major company (rhymes with "Nespresso"). After months of sitting in a van watching TikToks , he finally got back behind the wheel of a 32-tonne DAF dump truck. From stalling on 20% gradients to nearly blowing out his knee on a stiff manual clutch , Tom breaks down why the era of manual transmissions might finally be over.

• The Art of "Floating" Gears: David explains the mechanics of shifting without a clutch and the secret "clutch brake" most drivers don't even know exists.

• Trucking Tech: We talk about Volvo’s i-Shift, paddle shifting for semis , and why adaptive cruise control is actually terrifying when it starts coasting in neutral.

• The 24-Hour Asteroid Scenario: A lighthearted debate turns dark as the guys discuss what they’d do with only 24 hours left to live (featuring some very questionable "bucket list" items).

• Life, Longevity, and Legos: David reveals he is essentially the dad from The Lego Movie (yes, he glues them) , while Tom battles the realization that turning 40 means everything starts clicking.

• AI vs. Big Energy: How Tom used AI to take on British Gas in a legal dispute over triple-billing.

Whether you’re a gearhead who loves a non-synchronized 18-speed or just here for the banter about "Black Tar Heroin" jokes (don't do drugs, kids!), this episode has it all.

Welcome back to Just Another Trucking Podcast!

In this episode, Tom, David, and Jamma dive headfirst into a conversational minefield that ranges from deep sociological debates to absolute nonsense. We kick things off with a bizarre discussion on why the clocks change (blame the golfers or the farmers) before tackling Jamma’s controversial theory that homelessness is just humans returning to their "primal" roots.

Highlights include:

The Modern Dark Age: Tom argues that since the 1970s, technology has just been one big remix and we’ve officially stopped inventing anything new.

Jamma's Grand Plan: Moving violent prisoners into the army and turning prisons into "Trade Rehabilitation Centers" for the unhoused.

Flat Earth & Holograms: Jamma admits he thinks the moon is a hologram and the Earth is "flat as fuck," while Tom tries not to lose his mind.

3D Printing Dreams: Tom reveals his new business venture—making high-end, 3D-printed props from Helldivers 2, Halo, and Star Trek.

Famous Girlfriends: Jamma claims his missus is "Netflix famous" because she’s in a three-second panning shot of a Harry Styles concert.

We also discuss why you should never microwave water for tea, the "Rose Between Two Thorns" dynamic of the group, and David’s desperate race to get his son, Desmond, to his swimming lesson before the pool closes.

Grab a beer (but don't microwave it) and join us for the chaos!

Is your partner a secret "Man-Child," or is there a medical explanation for demanding "chicky nuggies" at age 35? This week on Just Another Trucking Podcast, Tom and David tackle a viral Reddit nightmare involving a husband who throws tantrums in the ice cream aisle and refers to his own anatomy with baby names. While David tries to argue that acting like a toddler is just a sign of being "comfortable" in a relationship, Tom and Krista are ready to stage an intervention.

The conversation takes a sharp turn into the "disgusting" reality of UK service stations. Tom issues a savage public service announcement to stay away from Moto at all costs, while David sparks a heated debate by claiming that American truck stop showers are "immaculate" and likely cleaner than the one in your own house.

In this episode, you’ll also hear about:

The $30 COVID "Piss Take": Tom revisits his deep-seated trauma over a tiny Chinese ready-meal and the absurdity of being forced to "walk-through" a drive-thru in a 50-foot truck.

The "Wonderwall" Cringe: David confesses to a drunken 21st birthday performance that still haunts his dreams to this day.

TikTok Disasters: What happens when you tell your partner they can sing just to be "nice," and they end up roasted on a global cringe page.

3D Printing & Gaming: Tom reveals his massive, full-scale Helldivers shotgun build, while David explains how a drone ban led him to create his own trucking video game.

The "Drift" Factor: Why American shopping carts are superior because they allow you to "drift" through the aisles with your kids in the seat.

So let's strap down, let's strap in, and let's do this.
