We’re riding shotgun with another fascinating guest on today’s episode of the Six Figure Trucker. Actually, fascinating doesn’t do it justice. Before taking his seat behind the wheel of Driveaway, Mark Nichols experienced life as a combat veteran, published journalist, and ballroom dancing instructor. Bet you didn’t guess that last one! But, it’s true, and this part of the story gets even crazier. As you’ll hear in our conversation, Mark once leveraged his dancing talents for an opportunity to grace the Opryland stage alongside Dwight Yoakam at the CMA Awards! We’re simply amazed by the fascinating lives of the men and women of driveaway trucking.
