There’s a saying in the trucking world: “If you bought it, a truck brought it.” As someone who’s spent over two decades driving and fixing trucks, I know firsthand that keeping America’s vehicles running isn’t just a job—it’s a calling.
My Journey
I started my career as a long-haul trucker, logging over a million miles across the continental United States. Every mile taught me something new about vehicles—how they perform, how they fail, and most importantly, how to keep them running in any condition. Those years on the road gave me an education no classroom could provide, from troubleshooting engine problems in the middle of nowhere to understanding how weather conditions affect vehicle performance.
But I wanted to do more than drive trucks—I wanted to understand every bolt, bearing, and brake line that kept them moving. So, while I continued driving, I pursued my ASE Master Technician certification, specializing in both diesel and gasoline engines.
Those late nights studying after long hauls weren’t easy, but they gave me something invaluable: the ability to bridge the gap between practical experience and technical expertise.
