Candy Bronzi is a Professional Driver who has now found herself on the front lines of the Next Generation in truck stops. She joins the show to tell her story of going from an empty nester, to fully loaded going over the road.

Her passion for the industry grew as she came into it, which led her to a position with Nikola Trucks, and then the Cyclum. Cyclum is looking for as much driver feedback and data as possible so they can bring to market what drivers truly want as they develop travel centers equipped for the future. Cyclum looks to provide it's own FAK - Fuel of All Kinds with Diesel, Electric, and Hydrogen.

Danielle Chaffin is 3rd generation working in the trucking industry currently working for a TMS Revenova. After a deadly crash in Chattanooga earlier this year, she knew that there was more to the story. After uncovering that Amazon has a rap sheet of working with unsafe carriers, she started using her data skills to really investigate just how many of these shady companies there are.

We go into "Chameleon Carriers," Non-Domiciled CDLs, and English Language proficiency, and how the current Presidential Administration is watching what truckers are saying on X (Twitter). You can follow Danielle's work on X @maybedanielleee and go to daniellechaffin.com

In this episode I recap my most recent race in Belgrade, Serbia. I cover what went right/wrong during the race, and where I know I can improve to continue to excel in my age group.

I also go into the lessons I learned from Serbia's own history, and how Americans truly take their lives for granted. Never before has my faith been reignited!

It's time to double down on all things Lombard. If you're a trucker, I'd love to have you on the show!
