When asked about the kind of truck she prefers, our guest responded: “I like a manual shift. You know, the old-school Peterbuilts and Kenworths. But, every truck I drive is different, and I like that I’m driving a truck.” Those, my friends, are the words of a bona fide trucker. Carrie Keyes is the real deal. In her 25 years behind the wheel, she has driven everything from dump trucks to city buses to tractor-trailers. And she’s run the gamut of businesses behind those trucks as well. So, when someone like her says she’s found the industry’s pot of gold, it carries weight. In addition to the wealth of knowledge and insight packed into this episode, Carrie Keyes will share why Driveaway proved to be her Promised Land from which she’ll never return. This is an episode of SixFigure Trucker that you can’t afford to miss.
