Hey everyone and welcome to the podcast, Caution: Wide Right! I’m Luke, your host, and today… shortly after Veteran’s Day, we are going to talk about one vet’s perspective, Ted Danowski, who is on the journey of getting his CDL and starting his owner-operator business.
We will discuss his time in the military, why he is getting his CDL, how the training is going, and what he hopes his new career and business will look like. Then, hopefully in a future episode… we will discuss how it is going and what he’s learned along the way.
