Summary

In Episode 68: Driving In Germany, Tony and Brian talk with Curt, an Army Veteran. In 1983, at the age of 18, Curt joined the Army and made his way to Germany. While in service there, he learned how to drive a "big rig", and began driving line haul. He learned a lot over in Germany, and was even there to witness the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. In addition, Curt has had a number of eclectic jobs back in the States. So buckle up and enjoy the stories Curt shares of his time driving!
