A Discussion on Truckers as a Trade Guild

The Voice Of GO(r)D Podcast is happy to bring you, after a very long delay between recording and release, a discussion with one of my more interesting colleagues on the idea of truckers forming a guild as a possible solution to many of the problems in the industry.

This episode was recorded directly into my laptop at the table in my kitchen, over many bourbons and many beers. It gets spicy, but my guest has given a great deal of thought to the question of what to do to maintain trucking as a noble profession, rather than a mere input into industrial processes with no regard for the people engaged in the craft.

As mentioned in the show, my guest wishes to remain anonymous. He is a voracious reader and three books mentioned on the show are thus -

After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre

The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy

The Captive Mind by Czeslaw Milosz

If you haven’t yet, you ought avail yourself of a copy of my book as well, available directly from my publishers at Creed and Culture.
