Must be 15+ years ago I rode on that tour bus traveling all over with you. Luigi is a one off - a very rare & special human being and Oakley Trucking is lucky to have him. You My Boy Blue!

Go Luigi! Love your story and successful enterprise. Give me a call next time you're in town.
Fantastic. I like the o/o interviews since I was one for 37 years. Ask more questions about their tractors and show a picture. Most are very proud of their equipment.
Thanks for watching Steven and thanks for the suggestions. We enjoy the interviews with our owner operators too.
