    I used to haul single cars (high-end stuff that had to go enclosed) and loved traveling. I hope this turns out the same to me.

    I was a professional bowler, then I started a paving business partnership with my brother, then branched out into painting lines on parking lots with my own business (brother and i didn't get along lol) sold that business and have been doing carpentry for the last year deciding weather I was going to pursue my life long dream of being an OTR truck driver. I have a great wife and daughter that wouldn't mind me being gone a little more often so they can turn the heat up higher and leave more lights on LOL. they are great though.
