This edition of Overdrive Radio features Owner-Operator of the Year Glen Horack, based in Elkland, Missouri, and so named in Overdrive’s coproduction of the awards program with the Truckload Carriers Association at the TCA annual conference in March in Las Vegas. Horack teams with his wife, Karla, a hauling partnership whose in-cab portion at least started after the one year -- 'knock on wood," Horack said -- his one-truck business truly struggled, 2008. The depths of the Great Recession. Running team in the aftermath, as you’ll hear in this part 1 of 2 featuring Overdrive Radio host Todd Dills' June 2022 conversations the Horacks, the pair came out from under debt taken on as freight fell off quickly. It's a testament to the owners’ ability to adjust their reefer-hauling operation alongside three-decade partners in Prime, Inc., out of Springfield, Missouri, where they're still leased. Hear both speak to the business, the experience of training each other (of a fashion) when Karla got her CDL, and so much more about their partnership growth in-cab. You'll hear some of Glen’s history trucking alongside his family life; a a per-mile set-aside strategy developed over the years to guard against the potential for unforeseen repairs; white-out, white-knuckle blizzard conditions in Nebraska … And so much from their lives in business. Read more about Glen and Karla in this feature profile published in early in August 2022: https://www.overdriveonline.com/owner-operator-of-the-year/article/15294600/top-ownerop-in-good-shape-for-run-toward-the-finish-line

That's no less true of this year's Owner-Operator of the Year award finalists, one of whom will take home $25,000 as this year's winner after the March 22 awards banquet at the Truckload Carriers Association's Truckload 2022 conference in Las Vegas. In this edition of Overdrive Radio, we’ll hear such tales and much more from all three of the competing nominees, including award finalist five-timer Glen Horack, leased to Prime:  https://www.overdriveonline.com/owner-operator-of-the-year/article/15288620/teamwork-helps-drive-owneroperator-glen-horacks-successIowa-based owner-operator Gene Houchin, leased to Midwest Express: https://www.overdriveonline.com/owner-operator-of-the-year/article/15289162/owneroperator-award-finalist-gene-houchinAnd National Carriers-leased, West Virginia-based Allen and Sandy Smith:  https://www.overdriveonline.com/owner-operator-of-the-year/article/15288873/ownerop-award-finalist-team-builds-success-with-smart-businessOverdrive News Editor Matt Cole spoke with all of the finalists for the profiles linked above, but hear their stories in their own words here.
