Summary

In this week's episode, 151: The Midnight Thief; the guys are joined in studio by Hector, another fellow Pitt-Ohio driver. Hector's experiences are vast and he shares with us some incredible stories from he time in many different fields. Before he joined Pitt-Ohio, Hector was in the Repo business, which as everyone knows can be wild! He really enjoyed his time in that industry, but eventually moved on to become a volunteer firefighter, as well as a truck driver. Hector has some awesome stories, and this conversation was very enjoyable. We hope you all enjoy this episode as much as we did!
