Adjectives like adventurous, intrepid, and rugged are often used to describe the North American Truck driver. Our guest today, however, takes these attributes to a whole new level as he talks about life in rural Manitoba. Bears sniffing around the patio grill and cougars staring through living room windows are just routine encounters for Timothy Pedden. And that’s all before he hits the ice to battle Grizzly and Polar bears for the fish he plans to haul back home. This dude is next level! A long-time diesel mechanic, Timothy traded his wrench for the wheel and driveaway trucking. Over a million miles later, he’s just getting started. So, whether he’s running a load or getting chased by a Grizzly, the Winnipeg Wonder isn’t slowing down! Don’t miss our fascinating discussion with Timothy Pedden on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.
