    EP176: Between the Lines with Arthur Trader

    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! But, he’s been running between the lines for far longer than that. Long before he was guiding his tires between the lines of the open roads, he was gliding on his own two legs between the lines of stadium tracks, football fields, and basketball courts. Arthur Trader was an athlete and continues to love sports to this day. For years, he has considered getting certified to step back onto those fields of play as a referee. 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! Arthur Trader rejoins the show on this edition of the #SixFigureTrucker. Show Notes: Between the lines…in Stripes!
