After Chito Peppler retired from the Navy, he attended George Washington University to earn his MBA. He left with a diploma, and with a food tech startup called RUNINOut. The goal was to add as many restaurants, stores and attractions to the site, and after running it for five years, he had oversaturated the local Washington, DC market. It was time to take RUNINOut on the road.
What better way to do that than to become a truck driver and make some money on the side. He attended trucking school in Middletown, VA and spent many nights sleeping in his car near the foothills of the Shenandoah.
Then during a period of a year and and a half, he worked for three different companies, and picked up the requisite skills to succeed as an over-the-road trucker. Then I thought about purchasing my own truck and getting my own authority.
As a newbie trucker, he was issued International trucks which are infamous for breaking down. Despite it's reputation, he got accustomed to driving these trucks and realized that he might be able to acquire one for a song and a dance, perhaps as much as 1/3rd the price of a similar truck that had not gone through the same fate.
He purchased the truck and would drive power only and pull other people's trailers. And first he would attend diesel tech training at North American Trade Schools in Baltimore, MD., before he started driving under his own authority.
Trucking in a semi truck is living the good life. No boring meetings, No pesky bosses to haggle you. And when he got tired of the scenery, he just got up and went.
Would life be fun and exciting. Or where there hazards and dangers in the road ahead?
