Summary

In this week's episode, "155: Have You Seen My Axel?"; the guys chat with Elliot, a flatbed and dump truck driver. Elliot got his start in the industry at 19, and has been in the same job for the past 8 years, driving flatbeds, and dump trucks. Though he hasn't been on the road for too long, Elliot still has managed to accrue quite a list of crazy experiences from behind the wheel. He tells us how he learned to drive from someone who didn't have their CDL, and even how he had a run away axel shaft with only 2 months of experience. Along with that, there was a lot of great conversation around the industry and what it's like now as a young driver making his was through it all. So sit back, relax and check your axels on this heavy hauler!
