Our guest today is a 14-year Class A driver with multiple certifications (CNG, manual, right-hand drive, specialty, etc) and some Class A stats.

Earnest Walker is his name, and on today’s episode, he shares the strategies and tactics he’s learned over many years and through different vantage points in the world of trucking. Once an owner-operator, Earnest tested the waters of driveaway trucking after a breakdown. After experiencing driveaway with Norton and the money he could make, he left owner-operating for good. Now, after 16 months in singles, he is prepared to make another transition to the world of decking. As John will say, he’s what you call “a complete driver” who has seen it all and can do it all. Go behind the wheel with Earnest Walker on today’s edition of the #SixFigureTrucker.
