EP46: Sun, Sand, and South Dakota with Jim Fischer

Hailing from the Dakotas, our guest today has endured his fair share of arctic winters. In fact, he’s had enough. Fortunately for Jim Fischer, there’s driveaway trucking! The freedom and opportunities in driveaway have allowed this expert planner to keep the ice in his drinks and the sand between his toes. Each winter, he routinely trades the frozen tundras of the Dakotas for routes that lead to sandy beaches and big money. As he tells us today, most of his friends think he’s perpetually on vacation. And this all-around good guy is piling up friends around each bend in the road. There’s no doubt that Jim Fischer is winning behind the wheel, and we’re delighted to hear his stories and glean his wisdom on today’s episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.Show Notes:It’s January in “Sunny” South Dakota (1:00)With dramatic shifts in weather, good prep is crucial (3:15)Always Fuel up!
