They'll flip over.

The truck may not always flip.

It'll break the frame, crush like part of the wall of the trailer.

I just, it'd take me like two, three weeks, but I'd rebuild the truck and trailer, make it

look exactly like it was it just that part would be clean and the rest of this fucking thing would be dirty wow was that's what i did as a kid i mean you started working at eight was that out of necessity or you just i just i think my stepdad seen i was pretty handy mechanically and just started showing me stuff you know what i mean and then after a little bit i could do it myself and then he kind of that's how i got allowance did you like it you still fucking loved it yeah i love mechanical shit

You know, I knew everyone in my family had been in the military.

I kind of didn't know to what level at that point.

I knew I would join.

I was just making so much money as a welder and a mechanic that like, does it make sense, right?

Because until I was an E7, I took a pay cut to join the army.

No shit.

What age were you when you joined?

21.

21?

Yeah, so I was a welder and mechanic.

I make good money.

I mean, I asked my boss one day, I was like, hey, Huck, I'm the guy that always gets these fucked up trucks in this fucking two-week, three-week rebuild process.

Like, I want that easy shit.

I want to be changing these tires in and out shit.

And he's like, you're the only one with the mental capacity here that could probably pull it off.
