Today’s guest saw Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead live in concert when he was sixteen. Chris Woods was hooked. He would tell you that everything you need to know in life can be found in the lyrics of a Grateful Dead song.

So,  to hear that Chris Woods is a free spirit with an affinity for open roads should come as no surprise. And when he was introduced to Driveaway, it was a match made in heaven. In Driveaway, Chris has found the pace he’s always craved to prioritize time with his family and carve out space for his side gig as a professional artist. And as a tow-behind specialist, he’s even found a way to maximize his time and profits. Is it any wonder that the “Deadhead” gets great sleep in his Jeep?

If Franklin Snooks had his way, he’d take in the setting sun from a beach chair rather than through the windshield of a truck.

Driving trucks has been his gig since the nineties, but his recent return to the Driveaway space with Norton Transport has been a game-changer.

You’d think it might be difficult to trust a guy who swears to have seen an actual ghost on the road. And to be clear, that’s exactly what today’s guest claims.

Well, he’s not the kind to be loose with the truth or exaggerate a story. Arnie Teran is one of the most trustworthy drivers we know. In fact, in this conversation, he’ll tell us that the surest way to build trust is to always keep your word. Arnie tells it like it is as he shares valuable advice and great stories from his 22 years behind the wheel.
