Singer-actor John Schneider, in the public eye since he first starred on “Dukes of Hazzard” in 1979, offers an ode to America’s truckers.
I. Today’s news with Terry Scruton
President Biden unveils his long-awaited infrastructure plan. OOIDA joins a coalition urging Congress to say no to longer, heavier trucks. And putting the ‘aggressive’ in passive-aggressive.
II. Time to buy a truck? Part II
On this week’s Market Update, we’ll continue the discussion about whether it’s a good time to buy a truck – as well as how the situation in the Suez Canal could have ripple effects on the freight market for weeks to come.
III. John Schneider honors America’s truckers
In 1979, a new television series called the “Dukes of Hazzard” launched the career of an aspiring actor and singer. Now, 42 years, 167 acting roles, and more than a dozen hits on the country music charts later, it’s a fair bet that most people in America know who John Schneider is. And in his latest efforts, he pays tribute to America’s truck drivers.
IV. John Schneider – Part II
We continue the conversation with singer-actor John Schneider – including the filming of a second movie paying tribute to “Smokey and the Bandit” – and he’s inviting truckers who will be in or near Baton Rouge, La., at that time to come and take part.
