Summary

In this week's episode Brian and Shipper are joined by Kevin, to share his journey around the industry. Scott grew up seeing trucking all around him and developed an interest from a young age. He started out driving for a farmer during the summers as a kid. As he got older, Kevin transitioned his career from trucking to law enforcement and stayed in that field for 22 years. He eventually retired from law enforcement to then start his own trucking company. Kevin shares many crazy tales, including the stories he has from his time logging, dealing with difficult winter weather. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
