Summary

In Episode 51: From Rock Bottom To Trucking, Tony and Brian chat with Zach, a brand new Class A trucker. Zach is still wet behind the ears in the trucking industry, and he shares what led him to truck driving, and how he got to where he is now. It's been a long, hard road for Zach, who hit rock bottom when he admitted he was a alcoholic. Since that point, he has turned his life around, thoroughly enjoys his job, and is grateful for all that he has! Zach talks about overcoming his addiction, and the impact it had on his life. He also tells us some great stories from a new driver's point of view, offering perspectives that are not only entertaining but also encouraging. So sit back and buckle up as Zach tries to navigate through the fog as best as he can!
