“Getting my CDL was the best thing I ever did for myself.”
WHAT LED YOU TO A CAREER IN TRUCKING?
From as young as 16 years old, I knew I eventually wanted to be a truck driver. I always thought it would be a cool job. I liked to drive, and I wanted to see the country. I told myself that one day I would do it.
WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN A TRUCKING CAREER?
would tell them that they should absolutely go for it. Getting my CDL was the best thing I ever did for myself. You can make great money doing it, and it didn’t take years of college to make a career change. As a driver, I have never woken up and said I didn’t enjoy my job.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?
The thing I love most about being a truck driver is the freedom. You are in a truck all day long, and you’re not trapped in a cubicle. I’ve had the opportunity to see so many different places.
HOW IMPORTANT IS SAFETY TO YOU?
Safety is key in this industry. I always remain focused and pay attention to my surroundings while on the road. At the end of the day, the goal is for everyone to make it home safely to their families.
