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. Today, we hear how that same talent and tenacity fueled his rise to become a nationally top-ranked driver in his new homeland of America. You simply can’t keep this man down. Driveaway’s Leo-the-Lion is driven to succeed, and he does it with class. As you’ll hear in today’s conversation, he carries a deep respect for the craft and for the people he meets along the way. Leo Ruddock certainly has our respect, and we’re pleased to have him back on the show for today’s episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.

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!

We’re on a mission here at the Six Figure Trucker to elevate and celebrate drivers on this podcast. And let me tell you, they’re worth celebrating. You just have to get to know them. So, every week, we put a mic in front of our drivers and simply hit record. We’re over 120 episodes into this project, and we never cease to be amazed by the drivers we meet. The character, talent, experiences, and accomplishments within our driver pool are immense…and we’re just getting started!
Today is Thanksgiving, and we’ve got a special treat set up for our drivers. We gave our dispatchers here at Norton Transport an opportunity to share a few words of praise and gratitude for the drivers they work with…and they were more than eager to do so. Tune in as we collectively thank the drivers who make our company and country roll on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.

Before he was a fixture in a Big Rig, our guest today spent most of his days in the Big Apple. As a kid growing up playing basketball on the streets of Long Island, 6 foot 8 inch Peter Rizzo was often called a “Skyscraper.” He went on to play hoops in college before returning to the City to work as a police officer among the land of skyscrapers. But, within his first few months on the job, two of them came down. When the unthinkable occurred, Peter Rizzo joined his comrades and jumped straight into the fire to do what he could to rescue lives and restore a city. We thank him for his service, and we’re honored to have him as our guest today as he shares some of his memories of that time on the force with the NYPD. Don’t miss this conversation with one of our nation’s finest on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.

When asked about the kind of truck she prefers, our guest responded: “I like a manual shift. You know, the old-school Peterbuilts and Kenworths. But, every truck I drive is different, and I like that I'm driving a truck.” Those, my friends, are the words of a bona fide trucker. Carrie Keyes is the real deal. In her 25 years behind the wheel, she has driven everything from dump trucks to city buses to tractor-trailers. And she’s run the gamut of businesses behind those trucks as well. So, when someone like her says she’s found the industry’s pot of gold, it carries weight. In addition to the wealth of knowledge and insight packed into this episode, Carrie Keyes will share why Driveaway proved to be her Promised Land from which she’ll never return.
