We’re pleased to welcome Arthur Trader back for part two of our conversation. In the last episode, we discovered that he’s been driving trucks for over 30 years!

On this episode, we go behind the scenes with Arthur to hear about his love for sports and the side hustle he hopes will continue to provide for the 9 children and 9 grandchildren that make his quiver full!
