He was released 9 years later at the age of 28. When Domo came home, he had to adjust to society and more importantly try become a productive member of it. While in prison Domo, studied for his CDL knowledge test and got his License immediately after release . He had interest in Trucking for 2 reasons. One, it’s was a trade and skill that one could take away from him And The second Which I won’t spoil for you. Interestingly, After getting his license, Domo did not drive for 4 years, still dabbling in the streets trying to find his way adjust. Eventually, He decided that he no longer wanted to gamble with his life and he had to do something else. He jumped back into Trucking...

This experience would be a pivotal moment for Domo as he would learn the dump truck industry. He would establish himself as a worker and find out how, when and where to get work by making all the right connections with some key players In the industry.
