EP122: Driveaway Queen: Erica Austin’s Story of Family and Freedom

Erica Austin remembers the thrill of the open roads as she recalls the road trips she experienced with her dad as a little girl. This dad went on to teach his daughter how to drive, and decades later, the beam of Erica’s smile still radiates through the windshields. Those years have also given Erica more to smile about. As the matriarch of a big family of her own, she’s a loving mom and a doting grandma. But make no mistake: Erica Austin is still a boss behind the wheel! We’re so pleased to welcome one of our finest drivers to the show today as she lights up the airwaves with her infectious personality and savvy wisdom. Regarding driveaway trucking, she’ll say that “women do it better.” Well, if it’s just based on Erica Austin, we couldn’t disagree. Don’t miss part one of our fantastic conversation on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.

EP121: Peter Rizzo Part 2: A Hero’s Journey from the Big Apple to the Open Road

Before he was a fixture in a Big Rig, our guest today spent most of his days in the Big Apple. As a kid growing up playing basketball on the streets of Long Island, 6 foot 8 inch Peter Rizzo was often called a “Skyscraper.” He went on to play hoops in college before returning to the City to work as a police officer among the land of skyscrapers. But, within his first few months on the job, two of them came down. When the unthinkable occurred, Peter Rizzo joined his comrades and jumped straight into the fire to do what he could to rescue lives and restore a city. We thank him for his service, and we’re honored to have him as our guest today as he shares some of his memories of that time on the force with the NYPD. Don’t miss this conversation with one of our nation’s finest on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.
