About Trucker Tom’s Podcast
I’m Tom Wiles — Trucker Tom. I started this podcast in November 2004, back when podcasting barely had a name, and somehow never quit. Over 2,100 episodes later, I’m still here.
I spent my working life behind the wheel of a truck and retired from trucking in July 2024. The show has always been whatever’s on my mind: life on the road, culture, politics, philosophy, technology — long, unhurried conversations and solo riffs.
Lately the show has swerved hard into artificial intelligence. I generate original music and music videos with AI tools, run open-source models locally on my own hardware, and seem to be accidentally becoming the local expert on all of it.
The biggest thing podcasting ever gave me wasn’t an audience — it was clarity. Having to explain an idea out loud forces you to actually understand it. Twenty-plus years on, that’s still why I pick up the microphone.
