Where Dixie Diesel got its kick was at a very small radio station in Price Utah called KOAL AM 750. KOAL at the time along with KUPI out of Idaho Falls Idaho, was running a thing called The Interstate Radio Trucker Network, aka ITRN. In may of 1997 ITRN was on the brink of bankruptcy due to a tax gig. They were eager to sell, and Dixie Diesel and the UAITA was ready to buy. So with a few hundred thousand, ITRN, folded into Dixie Diesel Radio that became the Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio Network.
That momentum has never stopped. Inspired by the Dukes-of-Hazzard, willing and dedicated to serving that hidden but vital community of the Interstate highway, mainly over the road truckers, towing professionals. is simply what Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio is.
Now for the female male host thing.
Many have criticized me for that, but it was not my idea. ITRN, ran a guy/gal host combo in its infancy. Our local example JOC radio had a Guy/Gal host combo, and gals who would phone in from all areas of the nation, reporting weather and road conditions, and yes even Howard Stern has Robin Quivers, for me its not to get a quick feel or make babies.
With truckers being of both genders today, as well as husband and wife teams, having the thoughts of both on air is not a bad thing. Hey, guys think like guys, gals think like gals mixed together it’s a dynamite combo, that truly works.
Next time, the birth of Dixie Diesel Radio’s cousin, HazzardAyre.
Until then, Stay Tuned.
