Eric Harley grew up in a military family and started his radio career at the age of 18. His connection to trucking goes back generations. Both of his grandfathers were truck drivers, and his father, who served in two foreign wars, had a second career as a truck driver after his military career. Several of his family members still drive trucks today.
Since 1996, Eric has served as the host of Red Eye Radio, the premier all-night talk show for truckers, heard on hundreds of legendary radio stations across America and on the internet. He has proudly served on the board for great non-profit organizations like Trucker Buddy and The St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund. Eric truly loves the trucking industry and is ever mindful of the fact that truckers are the backbone of the economy. Having had thousands of conversations with trucking professionals, he is eternally grateful to have become such an important part of the industry.
