During the pandemic there was a huge shortage of truck drivers. Once my truck was ready to go, finding a driver was very difficult. On top of that I didn't really know how to hire a driver. So naturally I hired the first person who accepted my job offer... After a month of being on the road the driver turned my nice truck into a dumpster. I had my life savings and hours of time getting the truck ready and he turned it into a dairy farm. The truck was dropped off at the dealer to assess the damage and they said the truck needed about 12k in repairs. The problem is I didnt have 12k. so i brought the truck home and started fixing it back up myself. I had to rescue the truck. It was located about 3 hours from where I live. Sara gave me a ride out to pick it up. On the way home I couldn't think of how I was going to fix this mess I had on my plate. Sara is a school teacher but since the pandemic she had begun working online. So when we were at a pit stop on our way home I asked her.."what if we just drive the truck?"
