What do you Listen to on the Road?

LOL

Yep, that's where I first learned there was such a thing as "rape seed". WTF?

 

Same here, I probably have about forty different channels.
I'm glad they finally came out with the "favorites" channel. It's perfect for the days when I can't decide who to listen to.

 

I just discovered last night that I can "open" my iHeart app by voice. No hands. Now to figure out if I can change songs or stations by voice as well.

 

I listen to local talk radio on iHeartRadio , no matter where I'm at , keeps me in touch with home

 

I get a little irritated at the "favorite channel" though. I have thumbed up so many songs and it seems to play the same ones when I fire it up. Does it do that to you?

 

Think about how boring a weather report is for someone who works inside...or a fuel price report is for someone who rides the train...but for a driver, those reports can be extremely useful. You might consider ag reports gibberish, but to a farmer, they matter. Radio stations will cater to their audience...so rural areas with lots of farmers will have those ag reports, just like satellite stations catering to truckers will have fuel prices and national weather forecasts.

 

You mean it only plays back a few? I've had days where it would repeat a song or two within a half hour... but for the most part, mine seems to keep them switched up pretty good. Maybe you could email them when you have a minute or two?

 

Right on. And don't forget Sonny and Will and their green Kenworth in Movin On.

 

I did not consider them gibberish however it is not something I am used to listening to so I learned how to.

I have actually hauled some loads that are agricultural chemicals when I held my hazmat endorsment which were carrying values approaching 600K of the time. In many steel drums in a van trailer to the coop.

I actually enjoyed being far from the city for the peace and quiet with very little traffic and hence little in the way of problems. Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska come to mind.

 

I just moved on to the 3rd book in the Brad Thor "Scott Harvath" series, and it's a different narrator and I don't like him. He sounds better suited to narrating a NatGeo documentary about the Meercats of the Kalahari Desert. And looking at the next 3 or 4 in the series, they are the same narrator, too. Not sure I can continue the series with this dude narrating these story lines. Just doesn't fit right.
