Description

From Villa Park to Lincoln Cathedral, from Ironbridge to Runnymede, Tony crosses the pond for a ride-along with UK lorry driver Matt Rayner—and discovers that what keeps trucks (and relationships) rolling isn’t contracts, it’s covenant.


This episode blends 800 years of history with the rhythms of modern trucking:

how the Magna Carta, the Charter of the Forest, and the Industrial Revolution still echo in today’s freight industry.
