Chords and Chrome Radio Show

Where Trucking Stories Meet the Music of the Road

Chords & Chrome is the signature one-hour show from Lead Pedal Media that blends music, trucking culture, industry insights, artists, and driver stories into a unique entertainment and education experience. Hosted by Bruce Outridge, the program brings together the sounds of the road with the voices that keep the transportation world moving.
