A born trucker, Eric Ryan, or “Big E” as we call him, has found his true north in driveaway. As he shares with us today, these last five years in driveaway with Norton Transport have been revolutionary. With driveaway, Big E has fixed his compass and charted his course toward success. He has found mental, financial, and physical health and strength, and he’s not slowing down. Now, this doesn’t surprise us as we seek to routinely highlight the big-time perks behind the wheel of this industry. For example, the simultaneous offer of incredible freedom and flexibility with the chance to make life-changing money is alluring to anyone. But you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who has leveraged it better and loves it more than our guest today. He’s a great man and driver who also happens to be a great interview. You don’t want to miss a single minute of today’s episode as Big E drops the mic on this edition of the #SixFigureTrucker.
