36 Years Behind the Wheel: Interview with Michael Gaffin (The Boston Trucker). Truck Yoo #104

Join our free community at http://skool.com/truckingbusiness [http://skool.com/truckingbusiness] Welcome to the Truck U Podcast! In this episode, Sebastian sits down with Michael Gaffin, better known as The Boston Trucker, a second-generation driver with over 36 years of experience behind the wheel. Michael shares his incredible journey from riding along with his dad and driving cabovers cross-country as a teenager in the '80s, to commanding his custom 2025 Kenworth W900 around Boston today. We dive deep into the stark differences between the golden era of trucking—when drivers relied on paper logs, maps, and CB radios—and the heavily regulated, tech-driven industry of today. We also discuss the sacrifices of OTR life, why Michael transitioned to local routes to prioritize his family, and his ongoing mission to preserve the legendary stories of old-school truckers on his YouTube channel. If you love classic rigs, the raw sound of a diesel engine, and genuine trucking history, you won't want to miss this one!

From Prison to Peterbilt: How Dennis Got His Life Back at 49 #103

Join our free community at http://skool.com/truckingbusiness [http://skool.com/truckingbusiness] Check out Dennis Foster's Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCU_WFyi-tQU1nKCig7cT_dA [https://www.youtube.com/@UCU_WFyi-tQU1nKCig7cT_dA] At 50 years old, Dennis Foster Jr. is starting over. Marine Corps veteran, three hip replacements, two felonies, three years clean — and now the proud owner of a 2019 Peterbilt 579 and his own authority under Semper Fi Logistics. In this episode, Dennis pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to become an owner-operator when life has handed you every possible reason to quit. We talk about the job-site injury that led to MRSA, sepsis, and a hospital-hallway wedding. The painkillers that turned into a cocaine addiction. Prison time. And the slow, grinding climb back — meeting by meeting, paycheck by paycheck — to the moment he handed over his savings for a used Peterbilt at TMC Truck Sales. But this isn't just a recovery story. Dennis gets brutally honest about the realities most owner-op podcasts skip: → Why Landstar, Mercer, and the bigger carriers said no because of his felony background → The $33,000 New York insurance quote that nearly ended the dream before it started → Why he bought his Peterbilt without an ECM report — and whether you should → The first lease-on company that wasn't paying him straight → How he set up his S-Corp, his envelope bookkeeping system, and gets his books done in 90 minutes a month → Why he's now jumping into the step deck and open deck market with JRC If you're an owner-operator, thinking about becoming one, or rebuilding your life from anything — addiction, prison, injury, or just a string of bad years — this conversation is for you. 📣 Interested in being a guest on TruckYoo?
