In this inspiring blog, we meet Les—a proud Traveloko driver, and a true businessman behind the wheel. Les takes us beyond the road, showing that being a trucker isn’t just about driving—it’s about running a business. From something as simple as updating trailer numbers to managing full-scale maintenance, Les explains how critical it is to take ownership of every detail. He emphasizes that driving is just one part of the job—a successful trucking career also means handling operations, budgeting, and maintenance like a true entrepreneur. “Any business only exists on two sheets of paper: your income and your outflow. If your outflow exceeds your income, you’re no longer in business.” With over 20 years of Army service, Les finds joy in traveling across the country he once defended—meeting everyday Americans and seeing the land firsthand. For him, trucking is more than a job—it’s a rewarding journey filled with purpose and pride. Learn how Les stays profitable, self-reliant, and motivated as he shares his honest perspective on what it means to drive for Traveloko and operate as a businessman on the road.
