Real stories, helpful ideas, useful resources, and little lights from life on the road, the acres, and everything in between.


We're Brenda and Wayne, a husband-and-wife team behind Durrett Recovery and Axles & Acres.

After decades of transporting vehicles, running businesses, working from home, starting over, and building a life together, we've learned a few things worth sharing. Some lessons came from getting it right. Plenty came from getting it wrong.


Axles & Acres is where we share what we've learned along the way. The Dispatch brings the best of it directly to your inbox each week.

It might include a new journal article, a practical resource for your business, a video from the road or around the acres, something we've found useful, or a lesson that might help you along your own way.
