Our guest today knows how to roll. In his fascinating career, Philip Burge has kept crowds of people AND the wheels of driveaway rollin’! As a stand-up comedian in his twenties, Philip toured the crazy life of show business. In fact, he entertained packed houses alongside comedic legends like Robin Williams and David Spade! Though Philip Burge never became a household name, he enjoyed unforgettable moments and gained valuable experiences that have shaped his life and continue to serve him in a much different career. Moving from a crowded stage in front of hundreds of people into a solo seat in a cab in front of the open roads is quite a shift. But, for Philip, it’s been a shift to a gear he loves. The freedom, flexibility, and promise of driveaway have been rewarding for him for almost two decades now. And make no mistake, he hasn’t lost his sense of humor. As his dispatchers’ would tell you, he keeps us rollin’ in more ways than one! You don’t want to miss this entertaining and insightful conversation with driveaway great, Philip Burge, on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.
