About a month later I enrolled in a class I could pay back while working. If I failed I would have ended up back on the couch. Thankfully I did not.
It’s been a three-year roller coaster. I’ve driven box and reefer. I now own my truck with a hopper or pneumatic.
The most beautiful part to me is the American dream. No matter how far down you go, never give up, no matter if no one believes you can. Believe in yourself, a dream, and grab a gear!
