The Liquid Trucking Podcast

World Cup, Hometown Movies and the Open Road

We open Episode 130 of the Liquid Trucking Podcast with a moment of gratitude for Memorial Day before shifting into one of the most entertaining conversations we have had in a while. Three Liquid drivers, Elias Arzu, Vic Walker, and Matthew Stevens, join Marcus and Amanda to talk about World Cup soccer, personal connections to the sport, and bold predictions for the tournament. We dig into the growth of soccer in the United States, what makes this World Cup different, and why the beautiful game has found a whole new audience on this side of the Atlantic. Then we pivot to something nobody expected to be this good—movies filmed in your hometown. From the legendary lore of Tommy Boy to the nostalgia of Homeward Bound and Animal House, we explore the rich film history of Nebraska and beyond, the crime stories that inspired real movies, and the personal connections our guests have to the films that put their communities on the map. It is sports, cinema, storytelling, and road life all rolled into one genuinely fun hour. New episodes every Wednesday at podcast.liquidtrucking.com. Share this one with anyone who loves soccer or movies.

Proper Paperwork: Get It Right and Get Paid

If your paperwork is not right, your payment will not come, and that is the bottom line. In this episode of the Liquid Trucking Podcast, Administrative Assistant Estelle Ross and Accounts Receivable specialist Ashley Bailey join driver trainer John Lohan to get everything out on the table about proper paperwork filing and organization. We are talking about BOL, Blind Bill of Lading, washout documentation, the DeliveRecon App, ISAAC tablets, Kemin Sheets, COA sheets, and every hiccup that has been costing drivers and the company time and money. Estelle and Ashley each bring their Top 5 paperwork issues that need addressing, and the solutions are simpler than you think. This is essential listening for every Liquid driver, office staff member, fleet manager, and anyone in accounting or billing who wants the process to run more smoothly. Then, Marcus and Amanda close things out with a Burning Questions segment where they ask each other the kind of get-to-know-you questions that always end in more laughs than answers. Practical knowledge up front. Pure fun at the finish. New episodes every Wednesday at podcast.liquidtrucking.com.

Cooking in the Cab: Real Recipes for the Road

The roller grill is not a food group, and three Liquid Trucking drivers are here to prove it. In this episode of the Liquid Trucking Podcast, Jeramie Countryman, Polar Bear, and Matt Kleich bring serious cab cooking energy as we dig into their best tips, setups, OTR recipes, and the moments when things went sideways in the cab kitchen. If you have been trying to figure out how to eat healthier on the road without living off truck stop food, this episode is exactly what you have been looking for. Amanda gives us a fantastic breakdown of Project 61 and how drivers can get involved in something bigger than the miles. Then we get into the food. Real recipes for the road, the gear that makes it possible, and the cooking disasters that nobody talks about, but everybody has lived through. Marcus and Amanda close things out with two easy crock pot recipes that any driver can pull off, no matter where they are running. Fun episode. Real food. Zero truck stop hot dogs.

Mother's Day Special: The Moms Behind the Miles

Every mile has a story, and behind most of those stories is a mom who shaped the person behind the wheel. In this Mother's Day special of the Liquid Trucking Podcast, Marcus and Amanda open things up with a heartfelt conversation about motherhood before welcoming two Liquid drivers, Mikal "Donut" Duncan and Burt Morris, to share the stories of the women who raised them. We talk upbringing, trucking family life, and what it really means to carry your mom with you out on the road. We play Would Mom Approve, imagine what a week on the road with Mom would look like, and take a serious and meaningful moment to talk about Alzheimer's disease and the toll it takes on trucking families who have lost a mother to it. This episode is heartfelt without being heavy, real without losing its warmth. If you have ever wanted to call your mom mid-route and just say thank you, this episode is going to make that feeling impossible to ignore. New episodes every Wednesday at podcast.liquidtrucking.com.

Tanking 101 and The Season 1 Trivia Championship

Tanking is one of the most technical and unforgiving jobs in trucking, and if you think it is just driving a truck with a different trailer, this episode is going to change your mind fast. Three Liquid drivers, Polar Bear, Matt MacKellar, and Mikal "Donut" Duncan come to the mic ready to get every nuance of the job. We are talking hoses, check valves, pressure valves, offloading, caustic materials, hazmat protocols, blowouts, and the kind of close calls that remind you why verifying everything is not optional. These are the details that separate a tank driver from every other driver on the road. If you are a new CDL holder thinking about tanking as a career, a pro driver curious about making the switch, or a safety manager building your next training session, this conversation is essential listening. Then we close things out with our Season 1 Trivia Championship as Vic "The Brown Bandit" Walker goes head-to-head with Darian Mateo for DFG Points and full bragging rights. Serious job. Serious episode. Unforgettable finish. New episodes every Wednesday at podcast.liquidtrucking.com.
