Well, not exactly the leader of the Autobots, but a full-size replica of the Western Star 5700XE made famous in “Transformers - Age of Extinction.”Joe takes us on the journey of how the project came to be, as what started as a gift for his son turned into a widely-recognized anti-bullying campaign and wish-fulfillment program.

      <title>Building a social media empire for a truck parts empire -  Joshua Grozdz from TruckPartInventory</title>

      <description>Rooster and Justin welcome Joshua Grozdz, the Marketing/Social Media Coordinator for TruckPartInventory.com, onto the Back The Truck Up Podcast to talk about the trials and tribulations of growing a corporate brand on social media platforms.
Image is everything in business. One false word or piece of imagery can completely ruin the existence of a company. On this week’s Back The Truck Up Podcast, Rooster and Justin talk about modern media with the self-proclaimed Meme Curator of TruckPartInventory.com, Joshua Grozdz.
Josh handles the social media for TPI, posting memes about the world of trucking through the lens of the salvage parts industry. When not making memes and social media posts, Josh is hard at work trying to find that $10,000 replacement CPC4 that suddenly went missing from hundreds of trucks around the country. Handling millions of pieces of highly valuable truck parts is a task only for the most talented of meme smiths.

      <description>Cargo theft is a constant in trucking, and different seasons means different freight is being sought after by bands of thieves. Scott Cornell, National Practice Transportation Lead at Travelers, joins the Back The Truck Up Podcast to inform our listeners about the trends and tactics that organized bands of cargo thieves are using. 
Maintaining spacial awareness, having a robust locking system on your truck and trailer, and following routing guidelines when hauling high risk cargo are some of the topics covered on the podcast. As we get closer to the holidays and the final rush of high ticket items gets sent out for delivery, drivers need to pay attention to what is going on around them and be aware someone is always wanting what you are hauling.

      <description>America on 18 Wheels and BTU contributor Ingrid Brown sits in with the guys
Welcome to the Back The Truck Up Podcast, where we share the news and reviews from the trucking and logistics industry. Justin “SuperTrucker” Martin, and James “Rooster” Bowen, are here to bring everyone together and welcome our dear sister, Ingrid Brown from “America on 18 Wheels.”
Ingrid is an over the road veteran with a list of accomplishments a mile long. She is here to talk about her career, her goals, and life on the road. She has her shows “America on 18 Wheels” and “Stopping for 60 seconds, And Then Some” to talk about. 
Just when you thought you were safe, two new safety blitzes
Yes ladies and gentlemen, we have two new safety blitzes going on at the same time. Both FMCSA and NHTSA are at it again with FMCSA holding an “I-81 Unsafe Driving Week” running from June 20th to the 24th. NHTSA is also in on the action, running its own campaign targeting speeders and distracted drivers. That federal agency’s event runs from June 21st until August 14th.  
Abbott Laboratories shuts down again
Just when everyone thought the baby formula struggles were starting to ease up, Abbott Laboratories had a little flooding issue and had to shut down again. Not two weeks after restarting the production lines, Abbott has another fiasco on its hands. With an unknown date for reopening, it is importing more formula from its Germain plant. I wonder how much cost difference there is between the domestic and international product?
Rolling inspections in Savannah? Rear camera catches epic remark
You have to hand it to the man running the dash cam for this golden moment between a dump truck driver and Georgia Motor Carrier Enforcement (MCE). The MCE inspector gave the driver a good reason to check his mudflaps, and his underwear, after calling him out on the P.A. system for a non-functional mudflap. I guess I’d rather get called out publicly than get a ticket. Also, we look at a “homemade” mud flap that might last a few seconds. Things we do to get by in a pinch.
Is it time to invest in a “new to you” truck and trailer?
Truck auction prices are finally falling as demand at the auction block starts to ebb. And if you’re looking for a shiny new trailer, you might better work those phone lines because according to two major builders, their books are still full and are holding off opening the 2023 calendar. Waiting for imported parts is one problem, so why not invest in 3D industrial printers?
(Inhales) Is that burnt peanut butter I smell?
On June 17th, BTU covered the turnover and subsequent fire that engulfed a truck and trailer load of Jif peanut butter. As Rooster lives not too far from the Jif production facility in Albany, Georgia, the accident got his attention. But the question remains, “Will Jif get to claim cargo insurance on the recalled product headed to disposal?”
Embark teaching Texas troopers how to pull over autonomous trucks
Skynet approaches!  The Texas State Patrol is getting lessons from Embark Trucks about how to “properly pull over” the company’s autonomous vehicles that operate along Interstate 10. The question on everyone’s mind is “how do the trucks know the difference between a real cop and a fake one?”

Things we do to get by in a pinch.</p><p>Is it time to invest in a “new to you” truck and trailer?</p><p>Truck auction prices are finally falling as demand at the auction block starts to ebb. And if you’re looking for a shiny new trailer, you might better work those phone lines because according to two major builders, their books are still full and are holding off opening the 2023 calendar. Waiting for imported parts is one problem, so why not invest in 3D industrial printers?</p><p>(Inhales) Is that burnt peanut butter I smell?</p><p>On June 17th, BTU covered the turnover and subsequent fire that engulfed a truck and trailer load of Jif peanut butter. As Rooster lives not too far from the Jif production facility in Albany, Georgia, the accident got his attention. But the question remains, “Will Jif get to claim cargo insurance on the recalled product headed to disposal?”</p><p>Embark teaching Texas troopers how to pull over autonomous trucks</p><p>Skynet approaches!  The Texas State Patrol is getting lessons from Embark Trucks about how to “properly pull over” the company’s autonomous vehicles that operate along Interstate 10. The question on everyone’s mind is “how do the trucks know the difference between a real cop and a fake one?”</p><p>Check out <a href="https://backthetruckup.com/">BackTheTruckUp.com</a> and find us on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube!</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/back-the-truck-up/id1629903424">Apple Podcast</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/15ZikckehZgE7DZOGHDdNR">Spotify</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2nHKISebuxJVHLwrvcwng">Back The Truck Up YouTube</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@backthetruckup">Back The Truck Up TikTok</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/BackTheTruck">Back The Truck Up Page on Facebook</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/783688426127622">Back The Truck Up Group on Facebook</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@backthetruckup">@BackTheTruck on Twitter</a></p>

      <title>Mr. Schmitt Goes to Washington</title>
      <link>https://back-the-truck-up.simplecast.com/episodes/mr-schmitt-goes-to-washington-xwrdXt3P</link>
      <description>The Back The Truck Up podcast is here, with Justin “SuperTrucker” Martin, MemeLord Extraordinaire, and James “Rooster” Bowen, King of the Freight Kaiju, bringing you the action in the trucking and logistics world. We got a “Recap” of articles Rooster pecked out over on backthetruckup.com and our first guest interview with Leland Schmitt Jr.
There’s been a lot of action in the news up off Packerland Drive in Green Bay. Luckily this time, it’s not involving the “Pumpkin Patch”. A man goes a little nutty wanting to make sure he has his insurance. Local police were not interested, until he threatened violence.
The big time trucker strike in South Korea expands, now affecting steel, semiconductors, coal, cement, and cars. It’s not some lame protest. With over a billion dollars already in losses, the union is making damages felt worldwide. Hope you don’t have a Kia Sophia on reserve…
Fuel prices are so high, fuel pump bandits are investing in homemade tankers to carry fuel across state lines and sell to the California balck market. Is this the “black gold rush” of the 21st Century??
Justin leads an interview with Leland Schmitt Jr. and his wife, talking about the FMCSA request for a personal exemption from the Hours of Service regulations. They said everything they did is right there in the “little green book”. We read some of the public comments from the FMCSA docket, after waiting a week…
