Summary

In episode 124: Sunshine State Trucking; Brian and Shipper get to chat with Garrett, a young driver from the sunny state of Florida. Garrett was introduced to trucking from the time he was a youngster, with his dad being a driver, he was always around the lifestyle. When he was old enough, Garrett became a dock worker at his dad's company and stayed on the dock for several years, until he felt the desire to get behind the wheel. Since he became a driver, he's been in delivery and has had many entertaining experiences, and some surprising responsibilities. Garrett shares with us his feelings on driving, customers, and even parenting. This was a great show, so we hope you enjoy it!
