www.truckinglifewithshawn.comShawn (Trucking Life with Shawn) is back, and this one is a story. The Georgia driver has run 17 years with zero violations, but he's candid about how he got here: a GED earned in prison, then driving himself to CDL school in 2008 on six rotating car batteries after his alternator died, crawling under the truck to shift a broken linkage by hand, and calling Rosedale Transport five days straight until they finally hired him despite his background. He walks through losing 92 pounds on the road, writing seven books including his Amazon bestseller and the new "Carnivore in the Truck," and the reason he's opening a CDL school. He turned down a $100,000 investor who wanted to run it like a mill, then watched drivers fund the whole thing themselves, a lot, two trucks, a trailer, an office, and the last $150 of a $15,000 goal landing at 5 a.m. on the deadline, every name going on a Founders Wall. He and Michael Lombard get into why he teaches on manual transmissions with four students per truck, the free state-by-state truck parking guide he built with Truck Parking Club spots baked in, and the free trucker GPS he's piloting that trip-plans around your hours of service and routes you to a reservable spot before the clock runs out.Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/HIQk0DW0Aug List your space or find parking at truckparkingclub.com
