    We just love our job, mostly because of the great people we have been lucky enough to meet over the years like Bill Rethwisch and his family. Luke Rethwisch is an impressive kid and have grown up in the Trucking industry and we think he might just love it more then his dad!

    When I was thirteen my Dad was work a 2nd job at a trucking company. He got me a job of washing the truck and trailers. One day the owner of the company was there when I backed a tandem up to the dock. I jumped out of the cab and the owner wanted to know who I was and I explained I was his truck washer. When he asked how old I was and I said 13 he was flabbergasted. So, I took him over to the garage where my Dad was working and he told my Dad I drove the truck better that most of his drivers. 😊

    It’s not recognized by insurance, or the government. But it’s the best way!
    He’s lucky to have the opportunity.
    I’d trust him with my trucks......and he’s 13. I know 40 year olds that can’t do what he does, and they aren’t trusted in my equipment!

    Raising them up right. Hell my brother just turned 30 and can’t change a tire on a car. I’m 23 and wanted to learn growing up from my dad cause I know he won’t be around forever so I’m gunna have to learn how to do my own things. Do my own vehicle work, carpenter work, house work etc. This kid will go far in life.

    Like Luke I grew up on the truck as my dad was doing Coast to Coast going the West Coast, East Coast, Milwaukee to Galveston by age of 10 . A number of kids were on the road like that with their folks. And most were experienced moving trucks, changing trailers, changing tires and doing some relieve driving.

    Hello
    When I was this kid's age, and even a little younger, my father drove an 18 wheeler to transport bulldozers, excavators and other heavy equipment. It was old Tatra 138. These were the times when Poland was under a socialist system and very few people had a private car. My father taught me to drive on various trucks, but I remember this Tatra best. The operators of all the vehicles that my father transported also taught me how to drive. So far, and I am over 50 years old, I can ride almost anything I get on. When I watched this movie, a tear in my eye spun, I am so young, this boy reminds me. Best regards and please for your mistakes, but English is not my native language.
