In this episode, we’re pleased to have one of driveaway’s best drivers out on the road. We welcome Ta-Riesha Jackson to the show. Ta-Riesha has extensive experience in the transportation industry through a 20+ year career as a driver and instructor with Greyhound Bus. Yet, as a single mom working for another company, her finances and freedom were limited through those years. But Miss J is limited no more! In driveaway, Ta-Riesha hauls in six figures while seeing the world and doing so on her terms. She works for herself. “I love it and could never go back to punching somebody’s timeclock,” she said of her newfound life behind the wheel with Norton Transport. And friends, this girl can drive! You don’t want to miss the stories and advice you’ll hear from our conversation with Ta-Riesha Jackson on this episode of #SixFigureTrucker
