What The Truck? - 335
Manage episode 436786748 series 2362932
What the truck is my brother Robin up to these days? At one time, Robin made regular appearances on the Soul Forge Podcast. Because it has been so long, it felt like a great time to catch up on his latest happenings.
2024 looked like it was going to be a great year for Robin. However, the universe had other plans. For the previous year, Robin was the only full-time appliance salesman at Best Buy. February 7th was his birthday so he naturally took the day off. On his return the next day, he received a letter informing him that his position was redundant and he was being let go. The letter was dated on his birthday.
This news hit him hard. After a month or two, he decided it was time to find a new job or career. Robin took himself to Sault Community Career Centre. In association with Better Jobs Ontario Robin was enrolled in a course for AZ License training. This meant that once he completed and passed the course, he would drive transport trucks, dump trucks and other heavy machinery.
Robin spent the summer taking his course, and practicing his driving skills. He learned about air brakes and the rules of the road. Driving a standard vehicle was another skill he was taught. How to back up a truck with a trailer was also a skill he acquired.
What the truck happened? Did he get his license? Is Robin now an employed and productive member of society? All this and more on this episode of the Soul Forge Podcast!
