Paul pays tribute to friend and fellow storyteller Shoestring Waugh, who was part of Over the Road’s original “Haul of Fame."

Greetings! It’s been a while, but we’re back with an update on the state of the trucking industry in 2021, and a taste of new projects from the Over the Road team: some music, another podcast, and a book.

Long Haul Paul has released a new record called, “Cornbelt Cafe.” Find it wherever you stream and download music, or head over to LongHaulPaulMusic.com. 

OTR producers Ian Coss and Lacy Roberts recently collaborated on a hybrid podcast/album about marriage, divorce, and the meaning of lifetime commitment. Listen and subscribe to Forever is a Long Time on Apple Podcasts or wherever you find your podcasts.

And don’t miss Shining Man, the novel recently published by OTR editor Todd Dills, from our production partner Overdrive Magazine.

Can’t say when we’ll be back in the feed again, but stay safe and take care out there!

Over the Road is a collaboration between Overdrive Magazine and PRX’s Radiotopia. Learn more about the show at overtheroad.fm.

In our series finale, Paul checks back in with truckers we’ve met throughout Over the Road, as the team convenes at the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas to ponder the million-dollar question: will self-driving trucks render American truck drivers obsolete?
