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!
