Welcome back to The Road Show with Tony Justice and Friends! Today's guest lives on the road same as I do — except he's turned his cab into a daily gathering spot for half a million people. I'm joined by Bob Murphy, one half of the husband-and-wife owner-operator team behind Morning Coffee with Bob. Bob and his wife Deborah are leased to Page Trucking, running out of Commerce, Georgia, and every morning, coffee in hand, sun coming up over the highway, Bob hits record and just talks. No script, no edits, no corporate polish.

Bob and I talk about how Morning Coffee with Bob grew from casual morning thoughts into a daily ritual for hundreds of thousands of followers, what it takes to be married and be co-drivers with Deborah, and the 2006 Kenworth W900L that's become as much a character in the story as the two of them. We also meet Merle, their ”Chief Security Officer” and resident co-pilot, and get into how Bob decides which brand partnerships are the right fit for the community.
