The Roadshow with Tony Justice and Friends

Welcome back to The Road Show with Tony Justice and Friends! In this episode, I sit down with two of my favorite people on the road — Daniel and Phyllis Snow of Snow Trucking. These two are more than friends — they’re family. We first met over a decade ago at the Guilty by Association Truck Show in Joplin, Missouri, and I’ve admired them ever since. Their story is one of grit, faith, and true partnership. From the early days of farming and hauling cattle to building their legendary rig “The Goose,” Daniel and Phyllis have built a life around hard work, faith, and a deep love for each other and the trucking community.We talk about how they got their start in trucking, how they balance marriage and business, and the powerful faith that fuels every mile they drive. You’ll hear stories of their early years on the farm, lessons learned from life on the road, and the wisdom they’ve gained after 34 years of marriage and countless miles together. If you’ve ever wondered what keeps a couple rolling strong in both life and trucking, this conversation will warm your heart and make you proud to be part of this industry.Topics Discussed in the EpisodeHow Daniel got started in trucking as a teenThe origins and meaning behind The GooseLife on the road as a husband-and-wife teamBuilding their faith-driven mission, In God We TruckHow they keep marriage and joy alive on the roadGiving back through Bennett Family of CompaniesSnow Trucking on FacebookBennett Family of Companies: https://www.bennettig.comWreaths Across America: https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.orgA big thanks to Daniel and Phyllis for sharing their story and their faith.
