Check out our new facebook group "Enjoying Life OTR" and website   ENJOYINGLIFEOTR.com    It's designed for truckers.    Share your favorite stops and listen to our latest podcast.  
Our guest today is Luis Claudio. He has been trucking for over 15 years.  He shares challenges and mistakes he faced while starting his own trucking company.  He has a lot of wisdom, and I enjoyed hearing the ways fleet owners can take better care of their drivers.    He has some great ideas!
Toward the end of the show, Luis shares that his family is adopting a 14 year old girl.  They are giving her an opportunity for a better life and the chance to be a part of a family.  If you are interested in hearing more about their progress, visit:  AdoptTogether.org.  (Search for Kristina and Luis Claudio). You can find out more about their adoption story and offer support along their journey.   Adoption is expensive, I'm sure the family would be so grateful for donations of any size.   
After I finished talking to Luis, I wondered if it takes more courage to drive a huge truck or more courage to adopt a 14 year old girl?   Both are amazing if you ask me!
If you want to contact Luis email:  [email protected].  He is on LinkedIn and TikTok @LClaudio111.
