How it started in 1970
Actually when he was 18 years old, he wasn’t just a truck driver, he was one of the finest drivers you could find at his age.
By the time he was eligible to drive a truck, he already spent most of his youth between wheels.
When he was 8, he usually spend Saturdays cleaning trucks. By the time he aged 12, he was welding and cutting steel, changing oil and could do small repairs in the workshop.
When he reached 13, his father one day snapped him from school and took him on his trucking journey. His father had a serious back problem and couldn’t unload his truck without his help anymore.
This school/work scheme went on for the next few years. Although the school administration protested now and then, they somehow managed to combine school with the work for his father.
