Stephen Henderson: A Story of Resilience

Some people find trucking because they love the road. Some find it because they need the money. And some find it because everything else fell apart at the same time, and the road was the only thing left that made sense. Stephen Henderson is that third kind of driver. In Episode 22 of the Cypress Truck Lines Podcast, Stephen sits down with Marcus to tell his story from start to finish. A career in sales, management, and telecoms that looked solid from the outside. A grandfather-in-law lost. His wife was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks later. A job and benefits that were gone two weeks after that. Addiction issues make an already impossible situation even harder to navigate. And then, somehow, through all of it, a CDL, a truck, and Cypress Truck Lines were waiting on the other side. His wife made a full recovery. Stephen found a career he loves. And the relentlessly positive attitude he brings to this conversation will make you rethink whatever you are dealing with right now. This is not a sad episode. It is one of the most hopeful ones we have ever made. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Subscribe now and listen to this one twice.
