New Country, New Career: Immigrant Voices at Cypress

Two countries. Two journeys. One home at Cypress Truck Lines. In Episode 10, we sit down with Abdul Waheed, a former lawyer and U.S. Government contractor in Afghanistan who traded courtrooms for load boards, and Tyler Goodwin, a flatbed driver who hopped over from Manchester, England, at just 15 years old, only to discover his high school diploma meant four more years of American classrooms. These aren't just immigrant trucking stories. They're proof that the Sun Belt trucking industry has a place for people willing to work hard, no matter where they started. We dig into the real challenges of starting over in a new country, building a career in flatbed trucking, and why both Abdul and Tyler have stuck around for the long haul at Cypress Truck Lines. If you've ever felt like an outsider trying to find your footing in this industry, this episode delivers.
