A New Hustle on the Horizon
The truck stop parking lot smelled like diesel and desperation. We were still selling bracelets, still scraping by. But in between each sale, David’s eyes kept drifting to the rigs rolling in and out, especially one setup that seemed… different. Easier. More efficient.
“That’s how we should be moving cars,” he muttered, half to himself.
I raised an eyebrow. “We don’t even have a car that runs right now.”
He grinned. “Yet.”
That’s the thing about survival—you learn to see opportunity where others only see obstacles.
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” – Mark Twain
The Leap Into the Unknown
We kept pushing. Bracelets turned into bigger sales. Bigger sales turned into a little bit of savings. And then, one day, we had enough to buy a beat-up truck and a tow dolly. It wasn’t much, but it was something.
David got to work hauling cars—small jobs at first, just enough to test the waters. Meanwhile, I kept selling, keeping the money flowing, making sure the boys were taken care of. We were still hustling, still grinding.
Then, one day, fate threw us another curveball—this time, in the form of a real car hauler. The kind that could change everything.
The Breakthrough Moment
A driver we had met along the way was getting out of the business. He had a rig. It wasn’t perfect, but it was available. And suddenly, everything clicked.
The same way I had torn apart a headband to make bracelets, David saw this as a chance to tear apart our past struggles and build something better.
We made the deal. Signed the papers. And just like that, we weren’t just surviving anymore. We were stepping into something bigger.

The Lesson
Every hustle we had ever done, every lesson we had learned—it all led to this.

Because the thing about starting from nothing is this: once you realize you can create something out of thin air, you stop believing in limits.
And we were just getting started.
