Evan Lockridge is journalist and radio talent.
Currently, he works for Sirius Satellite Radio and can be heard on Road Dog Trucking Radio, Channel 147 as host of The Lockridge Report.[1] He also anchors and writes daily trucking newscasts for the channel, Sirius Trucking News.
Involvement With Sirius Lockridge started with Sirius and the channel in 2005, producing and anchoring STN and Interstate Alerts, with area reports of road construction zones along U.S. Interstates that can cause truckers delays. He quit doing Interstate Alerts in 2007 and increased his role by also anchoring the morning trucking news on the channel that goes under the name Sirius Trucking News Morning Report. The morning reports air twice an hour during The Loading Dock with co-hosts Mark Willis and Elizabeth Walsh, weekdays from 6–11 a.m., Eastern Time. During this time he also served as substitute co-host on The Loading Dock when either Willis, Walsh or both were out.
"The Lockridge Report" In February 2008, Sirius gave Lockridge his own two-hour show, The Lockridge Report, currently airs between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, with repeats on the weekends at the same time. The show also repeats each day from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., Eastern. The show, like all of the others on the channel has its own identity with The Lockridge Report, focusing more on news and issues than the other shows on the channel. This is due to Sirius playing up Lockridge's credentials as an award-winning trucking journalist, the only one on the channel, who has covered the trucking industry since 1990. Guests have included an array of federal and state government officials, trucking industry officials and many others.
Each day the show begins with a rundown of what is coming up followed by a brief rundown of some of the latest news affecting truckers and usually a guest who will take listener calls for a few minutes to more than an hour, depending on the topic and how many listeners call in and how many questions Lockridge has.
