The trucking industry has molded my life into what I am today.  Being raised on a potato farm, my experience driving trucks has taught me patience and self-discipline.  My father had been a mechanic for truck fleets for over eighteen years and is now in management for a sterling dealer in the area.  For two years during high school, I worked for a local automotive parts store selling truck parts to the local farmers in the area.  My academic career has been impacted in such a way where I realize that ground transportation will continue, even in a failing economy.  Therefore, it is my desire to continue to learn more about trucking and possibly be involved in the industry someday.
