ROADSIGNS EPISODE 98

WHAT ARE TRUCKING PROFESSIONALS MOST THANKFUL FOR?

This Thanksgiving meet the truck-driver-turned-writer whose book, Overcoming Challenge: The Tar Billy Way, is helping thousands of everyday people lead with positivity. Then, break bread with the philanthropist whose truck-driver-focused charity seeks to ensure that drivers who need help, get it. In this heartwarming episode of RoadSigns, Ernest Hamilton and Etienne Hightower will remind you that magnanimity and kindness are all around - and trucking is a springboard for both.

Seeing the needs of people throughout my career, it has been my life-long dream to launch Trucker Down. I have been in public service for over 20 years, including 5 years as a highway patrolman in South Carolina and 15 years as a federal agent. I dedicated my life to giving through public service, but it was in starting Believers Trucking, in 2018, that I was able to identify the need to start a charity that focused specifically on truck drivers and their families that are facing difficult times.
