James Parker never thought he’d leave the corporate world. For 12 years, he followed the same routine—waking up early, sitting in traffic, staring at spreadsheets, and answering emails. His life was predictable, structured, and, to most people, stable. But deep inside, he felt trapped.
From a young age, James had been fascinated by the open road. He grew up watching 18-wheelers roll down the highway, wondering where they were headed. The idea of constant movement, new landscapes, and a job that didn’t tie him to a desk seemed like a dream.
One day, after another long meeting that felt like a waste of time, James made a decision. He was done. He handed in his resignation, enrolled in a CDL training program, and within months, he was sitting in the driver’s seat of his first rig.
