Road Dog Trucking

[cbr046]

Back in April I made the mistake of replacing our perfectly good 2003 354,000 mile 4-Runner with a new-to-us 2021 4-Runner.  We went from V8 to V6 and it sounds like I'm driving a Corolla now.  Lots of other "gripes" (mostly with a warning chime) . . . . but it'll do the job. 

The "new" 4-Runner came with a free 90 day trial of XM satellite radio.  Until now I hadn't been a fan, but I discovered channel 146 "Road Dog Trucking".  It's a news / talk channel discussing issues relevant to the trucking industry.   Some hours are better than others.  Because some of these issues affect me as a diesel pusher I became a listener, but now I'm amazed at all the issues our 18 wheel friends have to deal with.  It's a real eyeopener. 

At $18 / month I couldn't justify the cost for one channel but they made me an offer I couldn't refuse - 24 months at $5.99, and (bonus) I can stream Sirius XM on my phone.  I can throw away that much. 

You can't stream Road Dog Trucking.  It's only available on Sirius XM.  I'm wondering if anyone else listens to this channel?

Bob, if you keep an eye out in your snail mail for offers from Sirius/XM, you'll see that they sometimes offer really great deals....I got five years locked in at $5/mo. for our toad Jeep Wrangler JKU.

BTW, I feel for you on trading in a beloved vehicle and getting something of less power/value than what you had. They just don't build em like they used to.
