Trucking

Episode #1905

Maine has always been known as a trucking center. This week Host Lou McNally learns to drive a big rig at the Northeast Technical Institute in Scarborough, where they teach hundreds of students the rules of the road and prepare them for careers in the trucking industry. We’ll meet a mom-and-pop trucking business, the Blue Bird Ranch Trucking Company in the downeast town of Jonesboro, and stop in for a real trucker’s lunch at Maine’s legendary 24-hour truck stop in Bangor, Dysarts -- one of a vanishing breed of family-owned, full service truck stops in America.
