Growing up as a city boy from Dallas, John Theriault could never have imagined that the path of his life would lead him to a tractor and a truck. But, on a typical week, you’ll find John behind the wheel of a truck and boom trailer as he chases the open roads of Driveaway. And on the weekend, you’ll find him behind the wheel of a John Deere on his Arkansas farm. That’s right, John Theriault has traded the high rise for the low country. He’s traded the hustle and bustle for the open roads and freedom. He’s traded sneakers and skinny jeans for boots and deep pockets. And, as he says in today’s conversation, he’s living the dream. Join us as we hear the ins and outs of boom driving and much more with John Theriault on this week’s edition of the #SixFigureTrucker.
