Someone once said that “a man that’s never experienced the brutality of war, can never truly understand the meaning of peace”. While that might be debatable, one thing is for sure. War changes you. For Mark Nichols, at least one aspect of his experience in combat has changed him for the better. It helped him see the true meaning of life. It all clicked for him when he stepped off the plane with his unit upon their triumphant return from the Gulf War we know as “Desert Storm.” Seeing his comrades reunite with their loved ones and experiencing the intensity of that emotional moment changed his life forever. We’re pleased that Mark will give us a sneak peek into this experience today and more valuable insights into the world of driveaway trucking in this episode of the Six-Figure Trucker.

Philip Burge knows how to roll—whether it’s making people laugh on stage or keeping wheels turning in driveaway. Before his nearly two-decade career in trucking, Philip was a stand-up comedian who shared the stage with legends like Robin Williams and David Spade! Though he never became a household name in comedy, the unforgettable moments and lessons from show business have shaped his journey on the road.
Shifting from packed theaters to the quiet solitude of a cab might seem like a drastic change, but for Philip, driveaway has been the perfect fit—offering freedom, flexibility, and financial rewards. And don’t worry, he hasn’t lost his sense of humor! As his dispatchers will tell you, he keeps us rollin’ in more ways than one.

In this special holiday edition of the Six Figure Trucker, we want to wish all of our drivers a Merry Christmas and highlight one that truly embodied the reason for the season this year. We’re honored to briefly recount how one of our selfless drivers risked his life to pull two young women out of a burning vehicle and save their lives. For his heroic efforts, Rodney Clay was named a Truckload Carriers Association’s Highway Angel.
This is another example of the many drivers we seek to elevate and celebrate because, quite frankly, they deserve it. We’re honored to bring their stories to light. So, to every truck driver tuning in, thank you. Thank you for the miles you cover and the sacrifices you make to ensure our holiday seasons are full of cheer and our tables are full of yuletide feasts. From all of us at the Six Figure Trucker and Norton Transport, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a season filled with joy, peace, and prosperity. May your roads be clear, your spirits high, and your hearts full. Merry Christmas, and keep on trucking! #SixFigureTrucker

We were introduced last week to Leopold Ruddock and were amazed at his talent and tenacity to become the fastest track athlete in his class and set records that still stand at the school of his homeland in Jamaica.

Growing up in Jamaica, our guest today was well acquainted with the elite global status of his homeland in track sports. Personally, though, Leopold Ruddock was far from elite. He remembers coming in last in most events through his first couple of years in high school. But, everything changed when Leopold began to train. In his last two years, Leo’s unusual training regimen combined with his competitive fire to leave his classmates in the dust! Amazingly, he has records that stand to this day!
For the past 30 years, Leopold has brought his hard work and competitive fire in the world of driveaway trucking. And, although he is a nice guy, he never finishes last! From Jamaica to Georgia, from the track to the open roads, one thing remains the same: Leopold Ruddock is elite. We’re so pleased to have him as our guest for these next two episodes of the #SixFigureTrucker.
Show Notes:
A Chance Encounter with today’s guest, Leopold Ruddock (1:12)Leopold’s background growing up in Jamaica (4:00)A record-holding track star! (8:42)From Jamaica to Georgia (13:11)Keep Truckin’, Leo!
