  • Summary

  • Ever wondered about the person behind that massive rig zooming down the highway? The stories of dedication, resilience, and sacrifice that accompany them? You're at the right stop. Hey folks, JC here! For those who've been with us, you might recall 'Truckers Have Feelings'. We've shifted gears, digging deeper into the emotional and personal realms of trucking. Welcome to 'Miles & Sacrifice: Life Beyond Cargo'. My bond with the world of trucking isn’t merely observational; it's profoundly personal. A decade in the industry has allowed me to forge connections with some truly incredible truckers, understanding the realities and challenges they consistently tackle. Close friends, and even my son, a dedicated trucker juggling the pressures of the road with family commitments, have enriched my passion for this narrative. Now, interwoven with these tales of tireless truckers is a story close to my heart—my granddaughter Abby. As a toddler, she suffered lung damage, and the repercussions of that negligence by the healthcare system become more apparent each day as she grows. Her resilience and spirit, despite these challenges, inspire me daily and drive the essence of this show. Our truckers don't merely transport goods; they're the heartbeat of our nation. They cover vast distances and tackle unforeseen hurdles, all while their families offer unwavering support from afar. So, to all you truckers and your families: this is a heartfelt salute. "Miles & Sacrifice: Life Beyond Cargo" isn't about logistics. It's about those unseen moments: the late-night calls home, birthdays celebrated over a call, and those family milestones missed. It’s the stories that define the soul of trucking. And hey, if you're a trucker, a trucker's kin, or just have a story you believe needs a spotlight, reach out. We want this podcast to resonate with your experiences and stories. We're here to give voice to your tales. As we bring this episode to a close, there's something deeply personal I'd like to share. This show is a salute to the tireless truckers and their families, but it also serves as a platform to share a poignant story close to my heart—my granddaughter Abby's ongoing battle with lung damage. At just 3 years old, she was failed by the healthcare system, and as she's grown to 8, the extent of that damage becomes clearer every day. Now, we're grappling with medical expenses that insurance simply won't cover such as travel and expenses to our regional children's hospital, special medical equipment, treatments and much more. I'm not here to ask for handouts. I believe in delivering content that speaks to you, and that enriches your understanding and perspective. If you appreciate what we're doing and can offer your support, please visit HelpAbby.com or follow our show at MilesandSacrifice.online.
