FR8 M4N's Bio

Married my high school sweetheart and have 8 children, currently 3 at home. Wife and I became Catholic in 1990 and now attend Traditional Latin Mass.

Retired from Abbott Nutrition after 22 yrs. most time spent in the energy center where we provided high pressure steam (up to ~460#), variety of cooling waters, HVAC, soft water, compressed air (~90#) and nitrogen. We did maintenance to our equipment, boilers, air compressors, chillers, cooling towers, water softeners, and whatever else.

Drove 20-25 yard garbage trucks, hence my rumble.com/trshm4n channel, starting April of '22 to Oct of '22.

Went to a sponsored school with Keller Trucking located in Defiance, OH. Keller has been great every step of the way; awesome company. They've been on the "Best Fleet to Work For" list for 7 years! Now they have "Hall of Fame" status. Be sure to tell them John Steele, (the driver), referred you!

Recently changed my personal truck plate to reflect the new career, hence the nickname.

If you're interested in beginning a new career, continue to look around Trucking Truth! There is a ton of education materials here and a ton of posts with excellent advice. A very mature site with professional drivers with many years of driving and trucking business experience. Go to the menu for a list of categories to get you started. Any questions, jump in and post; many new drivers here, too, that can benefit from the question.

My First Video - The Great American Adventure: Why Truck Driving Is The Coolest Job Ever!

Thanks, Brett, putting that video together. I like the sense of adventure that is built into trucking, along with the independence that is inherently part of the job, too. For me, everyday is somewhat new. Of course, a lot of the same stuff may repeat like, same roads, same businesses, etc... but the drive is different every time; time of day, traffic, weather, road conditions, etc... and that makes for a new adventure each time I set off for the next appointment.

My New Old Friend

Wow, that's awesome. He looks really good for that age and I suspect he really enjoys trucking, and that keeps him going, too.

Overlooked pre-trip item

Left a Blue Beacon and 1/4 mile down the road realized the hood wasn't secured. Kinda freaky knowing that it could just fly forward.

Started as a yard jockey around Christmas. Challenging work but really enjoy it! Any questions for a yard jockey?

I hate to bother a yard jockey with a question, but does that bother you guys?
