Description
When he’s not searching for stories or poring over copy, Caleb Jacobs is usually driving dump trucks or wishing they were running so he could drive them.  He was born and raised in the Missouri Ozarks, and he lives there today with his family. Caleb is The Drive’s truck editor.   He started with The Drive right out of high school, joining as a freelance contributor. From there, he began his tenure as the site’s weekend editor before transitioning to a full-time role in 2020. He now serves as truck editor, helping select stories and polishing them until they shine for the internet to see and share. Whether it’s explaining what’s new in the world of work and play or spotlighting a resourceful DIY project, his goal is to talk about large vehicles in a smart and relatable way. On this episode, Chris and Caleb discuss his progression into journalism, personal working truck collection and everything from dirty diesels to electric vehicles.  Follow the podcast and Chris on Instagram @classic4x4podcast and @overlandbythesea.
