Today I got to interview the ONE AND ONLY Larry Cothran (https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrycothran/), a charismatic driver of 16 years. Larry started driving because he saw the money his friends were making and decided to go all in. Now, he says, it's about the freedom he has. Larry is a Hazard Materials driver.
He hauls all things chemical from polluted water to super dangerous chemicals. Because of Larry, dangerous liquids are properly transported and disposed of and you dont have to worry about it. He says his favorite part of the country is in Colorado where the Colorado river flows next to the highway.
The most scared he's been is in Wyoming during a blizzard where he even lost what he thought was the ROAD! Larry said the number one problem he has on the road is truck parking and the craziest thing he's had happen is somebody randomly opened his truck door and got right in his truck and started talking to him.
Thank you Larry for risking your safety to keep this country moving!

Bobby Powell - My childhood trucking friend
Meet Bobby Powell, a driver of 28 years. Bobby grew up like me, around trucks, but unlike me, he stuck with it and became a driver himself. Bobby drives for Prestage Farms, the same company my Dad drove at for over 25 years. He hauls pigs from NC to Iowa every week. Because of Bobby, you can eat bacon, sausage, and ham. Bobby comes from a trucking family just like me and loves what he does. Thank you Bobby for sacrificing time with your family to keep the country fed.
