Dave Carter's The View From The Cab
|
|
| By Dave Carter: Somewhere between the erudite law discussions, the squishy interventions, the rollicking exuberance of Steyn/Goldberg/Long, and the penetrating analysis of the weekly Ricochet Podcast, the editors found just enough space to park an 18 wheeler. Their lapse in judgement is my gain because it gives me the opportunity to take you on the road with me, as it were.

Once every two weeks (more or less) I will turn the recorder on and bring you into a rather unique world. You'll hear the sounds of the road, from conversations with interesting people to the sound of my company's onboard computer literally telling me what to do. From my own musings and essays to the sound of a 40 ton beast winding through gears and traffic.
The idea here is simple: Try to impart what it is that makes life on the road so appealing, and how it can get in one's bloodstream and stay there. I used the sounds of my own truck mixed in with my audio. I do hope you will enjoy it.

Who doesn't love a parade? No one, especially when you get in to be in it.

He got to drive the special show truck he's been piloting around the country for past couple of months.

Ricochet's highly caffeinated road warrior is back from his hiatus to explain how simple truck stop coffee isn't quite so simple anymore. Or as he wrote, "Ohmigodthisstuffhasmewired!" You may have to have a shot of coffee yourself to keep up with this one.

What's a road warrior without an occasional new chariot? Ricochet's road warrior, Dave Carter, has landed in a brand new 2012 truck which he describes as, "Like driving a brand new hotel."

On this rather unique edition of The View From The Cab, take a ride with me down to my home stomping grounds of Cajun Country. You'll hear the accents, the laughs, and experience the good-hearted nature of the kind of people that form the backbone of a great nation. The only downside is that I simply wasn't able to send you all a bowl of gumbo. But don't worry, I ate enough for everyone.

Some unscheduled maintenance gives Dave the opportunity to spend a little time with his parents.
