Summary

In episode 127: FLIPPED!; Shipper and Brian have a great conversation with Jeremy, a line haul driver. Jeremy started out running his own company as a "Hotshot Hauler", hooking up anything he could haul to his pickup truck and hitting the road. He ran in this line of work for over a year until it came to an abrupt end. From there he bounced between a few other gigs, before landing on his feet as a dockworker in an LTL company. Once he was around the big rigs, he attained his CDL, and worked his way to the line haul position he has today. All of Jeremy's experience in his different positions have helped him to get to where he is today, in one of the best industries to be a part of. He shared with us the life lessons he's learned along the way, as well as the many things he's seen on the road in that time. The guys thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and we know you will too! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
