Rode Knytes Scroll #2 Over the Road Trucker Radio the era of Joc Radio

Back in the good old days of OTR trucking the radio was the information source, even with CB and all truckers kep up to date on weather and road information as well as the trucking industry through radio. Back in the mid 1950’s Arthur Godfrey started a thing that grew into a nationwide show . The idea swept America, such legendary heavy hauler radio personalities as Charley Douglas, Bill Mack, who in the mid 1970’s wrote a little song called Blue that went gold through the voice of LeAnn Rymes. Throughout that time period when everything was hot being trucker friendly, major truck builders from Kenworth to Mack, From Cat diesel engines to Fuller Transmissions along with major truck stops like the Triple T out of Tucson Arizona, lit up the airwaves through big watt radio stations coast to coast. Trouble was many were produced in the East including places like New Orleans Atlanta, and Nashville, Dallas Texas etc. However there was a enterprising guy by the name of Joe Pussey pronounced pewsee created a trucker program and transmitted it to KOB AM 770 Alberquacky New Mexico, the show was called JOC RADIO. The show originated out of an old dairy warehouse located at 1090 North 200 WEST in Bountiful Utah. With a network of female mostly weather and road spotters would phone in reports of weather and mountain area road conditions. Joe ran afoul with the IRS, and the program quit in 1979. During that time another show crept up called Interstate Trucker Radio, a syndicated network, heard on LPAM stations, in 1991 The then well organized Rode Knytes Association bought on behalf of the original all big rig hot truck custom shop, called the Dixie Diesel Shop out of both Blackfoot/Pocatello Idaho and Spanish Fork/ Murray Utah, and combined together became Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio, still heard on www.livestream.com/maximumoverdriveradio as Dixie Diesel Maximum Overdrive.
