My grandfather has always been my inspiration. He taught me to respect other drivers, be courteous, and never underestimate the road. I rode with my grandfather when I was younger, and of course, I grew up to be a truck driver. My grandfather is what has made me beautiful inside, and everything that he has taught me, I try my best to put it to good use on the road. I love trucking, always have, always will.
