    You didn’t think that through before posting :)

    Probably why I’m an expert truck driver!

    For me music is a trigger to drink so I save it for home time.

    I listen to podcast and audiobooks... but alot of times I sit there and talk to myself. Or just sit there and let the mind wander. Driving is almost like a form of mediation for me.

    And they will come!
    Saturday night into Sunday morning is the best time to drive. They seem to always sleep in on Sunday morning.

    I listen to the rattles in my 2025 Mack Anthem and try to figure out where they’re coming from :)

    I actually do know what the 60HZ cycle hum is, I used to get it alot in an old stereo system I built and of course what Zappa's song was.

    just a catchy phrase I used, didn't mean to offend your sensibility. :rolleyes:

    not going to coach me on the improper use of Zen???

    Cascadia drivers listen to the beat of their cabinets shaking, hahaha.

    I used to drive one, nothing could drown that noise out.

    I get a bunch of podcasts and I have 1555 songs on my iPhone. I also listen to live streams of a couple of great radio stations like WWOZ in New Orleans.

    I can’t imagine listening to talk radio or something like that all day. It would just become background noise to me. I listen to Audible a lot. Mostly true survival stories. I don’t do much of the made up stories. I hear enough made up stuff from other drivers. I also just like to drive in silence a lot and think about how any other business I could be in would probably end up failing.
