This song is used in the intro of the world-famous Trucker Dump podcast. Pshhhht. You may notice that I had to slow down the podcast clip a bit to suit my needs.

This song is used at the end of the Trucker Dump podcast, as I’m signing off. This was a breeze to put together. I just faded it in at the right spot and the band did the rest. Thankfully, this song has a reeeeeeally long ending.
