Description

Welcome to the only podcast dedicated to lorry drivers! The Truck & Driver Podcast sponsored by Tom Tom is hosted by Truck & Driver Editor, Dougie Rankine with owner-driver Chris Maddison. There are also regular Team T&D contributions from our Irishman in Australia Paul O'Callaghan, and Mat Ireland. Special guests also make regular appearances with Irish singer-songwriter Marty Mone coming on twice (so far). Truck & Driver is the UK's biggest and best selling truck magazine and just like the mag, the podcast is all about trucks, driving and life on the road. It does get a bit sidetracked, but it's all in the name of entertainment. There's no better way to kick off your working week than with an episode of the T&D podcast. New episodes are released every Tuesday along with extra bonus content! Stay tuned for more exciting new episodes throughout 2024. The T&D Podcast: made by drivers, for drivers.
