Welcome back to The Road Show with Tony Justice and Friends! In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Richard Guida, Brand Marketing Manager at Howes Products. Not only is Howes a trusted sponsor of mine, they’ve also been serving the trucking industry for more than 100 years with American-made products designed to protect diesel engines and keep trucks running strong.
Rich and I talk about the legacy of Howes, how a trunk-slamming salesman turned a simple motor elixir into a fifth-generation family business—and the role their fuel treatments play in helping drivers avoid costly breakdowns, improve performance, and extend engine life. We also dig into the Howes Hall of Fame, a project that honors the drivers, companies, and organizations making a difference in trucking. If you’ve ever wondered why preventive care is key for your truck, or what keeps a company relevant for more than a century, this conversation is packed with insights.
