Full Episode Transcript
00:10 Welcome to Six-Figure Trucker, the podcast where we share advice on how to be successful in trucking and have fun while doing so. We’ll share stories, news, and advice on how to earn six figures in trucking, and we’ll speak to guys and gals that are already doing so. Let’s get to the show. Hello everyone and welcome to the Six-Figure Trucker brought to you by Norton Transport. Of course, you guys and gals that listen to us each and every week on Thursday know this is a space where we elevate and celebrate the truck driver for everything they do for Norton Transport, for the driveaway industry and for the economy of America. They make the wheels go round and round and we always look forward to each and every guest we have. Have a very special one with us this week, Henry Clement Jr. Henry, how are you?
01:02 I’m doing pretty good. I’m doing pretty good. How about yourself?
01:04 I’m doing great. Doing great on this Sunday afternoon, Sunday evening actually that we’re recording here. And from our home office in Ringgold, Georgia, we’re on the edge of a winter storm weather. Where are you? And what does it look like for you guys?
01:22 I’m actually in Houston, Texas right now and yeah, we’re kind of on the brink of an arctic blast ourselves that’s about to come here.
01:31 Now, are you driving or are you at home?
01:35 I’m actually at home right now.
01:37 When were you last on the road?
01:39 Actually, I just got off the road over the weekend. All right. I was just on the road for the past two week and I just came off yesterday.
01:49 Gotcha. Yeah. I was looking at your stats. You like to drive.
01:56 Yes sir. Well, I like to make money. So, I mean that kind of goes hand in hand, you know, with this job. So—
02:01 I guess you know we have terms that we throw about as far as with certain drivers and you would definitely fall into the category as a runner. I guess tell us about that that that hunger that you have to stay on the road.
02:17 Well, yeah. I mean, I’ll take it even farther. I mean, I try to be a track star out there, you know, because, you know, it kind of it’s just for me just being out there, it’s more therapeutic than just, you know, making the money. Of course, everyone likes to make money, but this is it can I wouldn’t say it’s very demanding unless you make it demanding on yourself. So, I try to do that, you know, since we’re not really, you know, micromanaged or anything and we have so many degrees of freedom, you know, because we’re independent contractors. I try to, you know, just kind of figure out a way to keep myself motivated to keep going as if someone’s telling me, “Hey, you gotta you got to get out there every day. You got to get out there every day.”
03:08 So, what I do is I kind of find a therapy in the driving and I think that in between that I kind of come back to it and say, “All right, I’m making some money here.” But during the road, you know, during the drive, you know, it kind of like therapeutic for me, you know. So, it’s not really like something that just motivates me to just want to keep going, you know, but that’s how I treat it. I treat it as something as if, you know, something’s keeping me going, like, you know, somebody’s on my back. You know, you know, I don’t know if I’m explaining it the way I mean it, but I don’t know. I kind of feel like there’s no real motivation beside the money.
03:56 So if you don’t have anything else that’s motivating you, you know, I feel like that the money will probably be the only thing that will motivate you out there. But for me, I use it as therapy also. So it’s not just the money.
04:10 I got you. Yeah, that makes sense because I jotted down the word therapeutic. It’s interesting the way you explained it well there about being the therapy. I mean when you talk about the therapy, let’s kind of peel back a couple layers of the onion on that. What about driving is therapeutic to you if you put to the side not making money but the therapy part of it. Well actually I feel like just that oneness that alone time the time to reflect the different changes of environment. I feel like also like the elevation sometimes does something to you, you know, like when you’re driving. I don’t know, like seem, you know, different, you know, from coming from southern climate and altitude to going into the northern climate and altitude. Like it feels different, you know, like it doesn’t the breathing is different. Like everything, you know, is obviously different. But that’s the therapy for me, you know, it’s putting my body through the different changes.
05:16 Also, it’s relaxing because I’m also like I said that sense of oneness like I’m alone. So, you know, I don’t really listen to any music. It’s just kind of like time to reflect, get the balance, and kind of like refocus.
05:38 That’s cool. I mean, because a lot of the drivers we talk to, they do listen to music or they listen to podcasts. And we certainly hope they’re listening to the Six-Figure Trucker brought to you by Norton Transport. But you enjoy the silence and the I guess the calm of the open road.
05:56 Of course. I mean, I wouldn’t say that 100% the trip, you know, in between time. I do enjoy podcast, you know, such as this on, you know, I enjoy my different podcast of my liking, but I don’t use that as for the whole time. You know, I think that I wouldn’t use a certain amount of time to dedicate to the podcast and, you know, personal time and family time. You know, you just got to kind of learn how to plan your own day out. You know, like I kind of started from the beginning and say, “All right, well, I know I have to drive for 11 hours. How am I going to break up this 11 hours?” And, you know, what am I going to do?
06:43 So—
06:44 Well, looking at your stats, it looks like you maximize your time for your miles there because you get the most out of your day. Kind of walk us through what a day in the truck is like for Henry Clement Jr.
07:00 Oh man. Well, I mean, starting out, I mean, I typically I’m an early rival, so I kind of like to get it out of the way early. So for me, I don’t really I also don’t really like to eat as much because eating it kind of makes you tired. You know, it like weighs you down. So you can’t really get the most out of your day when you have, you know, a lot of food on your stomach. You just ate a big breakfast and then you’re going to eat a big lunch and then— So you’re going to get really tired soon. So, I kind of start my day out just light snacking, you know, something healthy, lots of fluids. I know a lot of drivers always complain about, you know, the different pains that they have while driving.
07:58 So, lots of fluids. I mean, I’ll definitely stretch either on the outside of the truck or, you know, in a hotel room or at the truck stop or something like that. You know, get a good stretch out. Mhm. And you know, I typically start a day like that. I typically like to stay away from, you know, caffeine and stuff like that as well. You know, that’s why I don’t eat, you know, because I don’t like to drink coffee and energy drinks and things like that, you know. They kind of they’re not really good for you, you know. So—
08:32 Just water.
08:33 I Well, I would say water and electrolytes.
08:37 Gotcha. Gotcha. Well, it sounds like it’s a formula that’s working for you because again, kind of digging into your stats here. You’re knocking out almost 6,500 miles a month. Here, so that’s definitely nice. Very nice. Good for you and good for the company. And you’ve got a 100% check-in time check-in percentage right now for January. And you’re 67% on time month to date. Now, is this are these things are they things that you pay attention to as far as the performance statistics?
09:14 Well, actually, I feel like an athlete when one of the reporters are reading off his test, you know what I mean? Like, hey, you just sign, you know, but no, you know, actually, I don’t really pay attention to stuff like that. I kind of feel like that’s just like the work ethic. So some things are just expected and I don’t really—
09:44 I’m not as the athletes would say padding—
09:48 Right?
09:50 I feel like that just kind of goes along with the work ethic. So—
09:53 You do the best you can.
09:56 Yeah, exactly.
09:58 Now, when’s your next run? Actually, I’m not up for anything right now. I’m enjoying the holiday and I’ll pick it I’ll probably pick it back up next week on time. That’s a very good point. MLK day will be tomorrow as we’re recording here. And how will it be dignified and celebrated and honored there in Houston? Are you going to any ceremonies or how will you be celebrating it? Well, I’ll probably be doing it in my home because, you know, like I said, we’re expecting that that cold weather coming in like that cold front coming in tonight. So, I don’t think Houston is one of these cities where if it’s not heat, we’re not prepared for it.
10:45 So, no one’s going to understand, you know, like this type of, you know, this type of freeze hasn’t came. I don’t even know when the last time has. So, it no one’s going to be moving. I don’t think anyone’s doing anything. If they have a parade or anything like that, I believe it’ll be shortlived because people are going to be f cold. Everyone’s gonna be trying to be inside the house.
11:09 Gotcha. Now, Henry, you’re 38 years old. Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. What did it what did what he stood for, the changes he made, the bravery he had, the things he stood up. What does it mean to you, MLK?
11:25 Well, I mean, it really means a lot. You know, it going across the board, it allowed for I feel everyone to be able to share a I guess a diverse outlook for a better life, you know. So for me, I don’t feel like that was I don’t feel like it was I don’t feel like it was a problem for a certain time period. Well, I’m sorry. I feel like it was a problem for a certain time period, but I feel like the message has kind of permeated into the future generation.
12:17 So looking across, you can kind of see a more diverse pallet, you know, instead of how it could have, you know, how it could have been. So I feel like for me that that’s the best thing to come out of the message and what resonates with everyone because I don’t think that the holiday is an exclusive holiday. Everyone celebrates it because everyone can relate to the message in some way because it should apply to your life. Absolutely should apply to everyone. You know, for being 38 years old, I guess the civil rights movement would have happened more, I guess, with your parents. They would have been impacted by it more, but you were talking about how it permeates even today. What do you think is been the lasting legacy of MLK?
13:20 Well, I feel like that what we’ve seen figures such as President Obama you know, some of the members of Congress you know, it’s been it’s like I said earlier, it’s been the diversity of the Pearl I feel like is the biggest part of the legacy.
13:54 I got you. Yeah, I got you.
13:56 Because now I feel like that it’s a reminder for everyone, you know, because even if it’s for a day, it should be taken from that day until the next spot will be there, you know. So, you know, it should just keep going for the whole year, you know, not just for the day. But I feel like that the lasting part of his legacy was to be able to actually be able to hold platforms like this and you can speak to whoever you would like to speak with.
14:40 You know what I mean? Like it’s not an exclus, you know, that’s part of the legacy. Though I mean it I wouldn’t hold it just to maybe one specific thing. I can name countless things that the legacy of Martin Luther King has touched.
15:02 Well said, brother. Well said. You know, we’re on the eve of Martin Luther King. I’m sitting here at my house recording this on the day before MLK watching the playoffs right now. And I have to ask you as we speak, Green Bay is hammering Dallas in Dallas, but you live in Houston. Are you a Texans fan?
15:25 Well, you know what? I’ve actually been a Texans fan since the Texans came to Houston. And yes, I am a Texans fan. And I’m pretty proud of my Texans right now.
15:37 How about C.J. Stroud, the game he had yesterday? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It was amazing. I mean the— Yeah. I the one thing I can say regardless of how cold it is, I believe that if the tone’s going to be outside and happy. I’m sorry. I mean, it’s just one of those things. So, you know—
16:05 As the Texans go, so the city goes.
16:08 Yes, sir. I mean, that’s how it’s always, man. I’m fortunate to be old enough, but still young enough to remember when they had the Oilers here and you know that everyone was so upset when we didn’t have a team for so long and then you know when the Texans came back it was like, “Oh, the Texans. Yeah.” Like, you know, it’s like we’re back. You know, everyone got their camaraderie back again. So, it kind of brought the city back together.
16:40 Gotcha. Gotcha. You’re listening to Henry Clement Jr. Here on the Six-Figure Trucker brought to you by Norton Transport. We’ve talked about a few things off the road about MLK, a little bit about football, but want to take it back to the road here. Now, Henry has many qualifications that he has met. We checked him out as far as his background. You can drive a right-hand drive truck. Have you driven many right-hand drive? We should note before we go any further, Henry, even in addition to having all these qualifications, he’s a non CDL driver, but a very qualified nonCDL driver. Tell us about the right-hand drive. First of all, I guess that would be maybe a step van or a postal truck, something you like that that you may have driven right-hand drive.
17:29 Yeah. Yeah. It was delivering one of those postal vehicles and I was like, “Oh, what am I supposed to do with this?” But yeah, I’ve had a little experience in driving those. And yeah, it’s pretty weird. I mean, if you’re not used to it. Yeah. I mean I remember when I did driver’s ed the instructor he had you know his pedal on the side you know I would feel like that would be weird to be you know controlling the car through the passenger side so that’s kind of what it felt like you know so it was a little weird but so destin but after the maybe the third or fourth one I was used for it—
18:19 Yeah tell us kind of describe it from a driver’s perspective particularly for those out their drivers who have not driven right-hand drive. What are some of the differences? I mean, I guess it’s orientation, road placement. I mean, what’s the most challenging thing about stepping in and driving a right-hand drive vehicle?
18:40 Yeah. I would say I guess the perception because you’re so used to doing everything from the left side.
18:50 Mhm. Same things from the right side and not being a passenger, you know, like I said, it’s almost, you know, it’s just it takes some adjusting to, you know, like you just can’t I mean, I don’t know. I feel like in other countries, they’re on the right side because they’re doing everything on the right side. So it’s kind of like everything makes sense, you know, but when you’re on the right side, but you’re doing things on the left side, you know, that’s kind of, you know, you kind of, like I said, it’s just a perception, you know, you just kind of have to kind of understand that, hey—
19:28 It’s a little I would imagine it’s a little jarring at first.
19:32 It really is. Like I said, it after the third or fourth time was when it kind of was like and then like I said, you’re not driving them constantly. You if you’re driving left, you know, like you’re driving regular, you know, driving and then you’re doing, you know, just one off or right hand drive, you’re like, “Oh, I’m supposed to get over there.” Oh, man. You know, you’re kind of thrown off, you know, but it just takes some getting adjusted.
19:58 I got you. You know, we were speaking about the holiday coming up tomorrow and an anniversary of sorts is on its way this week, too. Checking out Henry Clement Jr. So you will be with Norton Transport for 3 years to the day this week. So thank you very much for your time with us.
20:17 No problem. I mean I’ve enjoyed my tenure with the company. I mean, I have had pleasant interactions with everyone and this is the first company, well, first driveaway company that I work for that that has this big billboard and I’m like, hey, I work for those guys. So, that was cool to see.
20:44 Yeah, I was going to say, how does that make you feel to know you’re a part of the team?
20:50 Oh, man. It’s, you know, it’s amazing. And let me rephrase that for all of my independent contractors who may be listening. I work with you guys.
21:02 Right. Very well said. I know exactly what you’re saying there. What’s it like being an independent contractor? I mean—
21:10 For you, you got to manage your affairs. What’s it like being an IC? Well, I mean, you got to understand that you are your own business, you know. I am my own one man Norton Transport, you know. So, I have to operate it, you know, and it holds a lot of responsibility, you know. So I say that to say being an independent contractor and you know being a regular employee it holds a lot of weight and a lot of people aren’t prepared for that you know because like I said it does come with a lot.
22:02 Sure. You know, we’re in the dead of winter now and we have heard a lot of stories on this format here, the Six-Figure Trucker brought to you by Norton Transport of dealing with wintertime driving and particularly not knowing exactly where you’re going to go, but of course you plan it out and you do have a good grasp of where you’re going and the weather that’s coming. Being a nonCDL driver, say you’re in a box truck, those can get light. They can get tossed around in the wind, the winter winds. Have you had any scary situations out there driving in winter conditions? Actually, I’m glad you said that because I just had one.
22:51 So, I was coming, which this was about I say about three weeks ago. I was coming from Colorado and you know it had just snowed and everything like that. You know, I’m always aware that I don’t know how any of those drivers, you know, how they think about this, but from my experience when it’s freshly snow like it’s a dry road, dry conditions the previous day and they today it’s a fresh snow. Those are safer that road and those driving conditions are safer than the next day after the snow—
23:45 When you get the—
23:45 I don’t know how.
23:47 Yeah. I mean, you’ve had the experience—
23:50 Right? I mean, I would say because the next day if it’s continuously snowing, that snow has set on the road. And even if they th it and, you know, did whatever, plowed it, it still has now settled on top of the road and it’s still freezing. I got it. And so now it’s going to be even if it’s not fresh snow coming on top of it from it sitting there freezing on the ruffle it’s going to be way slicker than it was yesterday you know so so that’s kind of like how I gauge things you know in the winter time I’m constantly looking at the weather but I digress but I go back to the story so I was coming from Colorado and like I that I was going into caves now.
24:48 So, and I’ve never had a problem with ice on the bridge.
24:56 I always see the signs that say, “Hey, the road on the bridge may ice before the road, you know.” So, I’ve never had a problem. I’ve never had a problem. But this time I guess this was the lesson. So it was it night time? It was close to night time actually. Yeah, it was close to night time. So I could see probably a little well, but not too well. So I’m driving and I finally get to the bridge. As I’m going over, I notice the tires are kind of like they’re still going, but I’m moving in slow motion. Boy—
25:48 What was that like?
25:50 Well, I’ve had incidents before where, you know, I slid on black ice, but it’s just been on a road and not on a bridge. So, at this point, I’m kind of freaking out because it’s like, I’m on a bridge now. So, hopefully, you know, no one’s coming. It was set up perfectly for me to learn this lesson. That’s the time.
26:13 Okay. No one was coming, thankfully. So, as I was going up, like I said, the tires were moving, but I was moving in slow motion. So, what I remembered was never step on the brake. Oh yeah, you don’t want to do that. So, that’s one thing that I didn’t do, but I kind of just let it see what it was going to do and then I took control from there and then I hit the gas and it kind of, you know, the traction kind of straightened itself out a little bit and then, you know, it just wobbled back straight and I was okay. No—
27:04 But that was the first time that ever happened to me on a bridge.
27:08 Did you have to change your shorts?
27:12 Not that time.
27:14 I got you.
27:16 It wasn’t off a cliff. If it was on the then I probably would have had to change everything.
27:23 I gotta I gotcha. Now, how long of a bridge was it and how long did it take to get it corrected?
27:31 Okay. So—
27:34 And were you in a box? A box truck or—
27:37 Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I was actually in a box truck. I was in a I was actually in a NPR.
27:47 Okay. In a zoo.
27:50 Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So, that that that was I really don’t like those especially when it’s high wind, you know. They’re moving all over the place. Like one of the Freightliners or international, you know, they’re a little, you know, you can feel it, but you know, not so much one of those little guys. I mean, they’re just you’re feeling everything. You know, it almost feels like you’re going to tip over, you know, sometimes. But yeah, that’s what I was driving.
28:25 Gotcha. Now, you were saying it took— How long was the bridge? I mean, as far as the time it took to correct yourself or correct itself.
28:35 So, I would say it was about the bridge was about—
28:44 I say probably about a say about a 20. It was probably— Yeah. Well, I take it back now. Probably about a 50ft bridge. Like wasn’t really long like you know it was kind of it was fairly short you know just like a small little bridge you know but the—
29:03 But enough to get your attention when it’s frozen.
29:05 Yeah. Enough to get your attention when it’s frozen. Yeah I hear you.
29:08 And the amount of time that it took it probably was about I don’t know it took a maybe about five seconds. Like this whole thing probably lasted about maybe like 5 10 I say about 5 10 seconds and then it corrected itself out. So it wasn’t that long but I kind of moved to the side you know kind of was going sideways for a little while and then that’s what I all right maybe let me try to move this wheel well to the other side to see if I can straighten out a little bit—
29:43 At that point you know that point it started to correct itself.
29:47 What did you say when it happened? Give us what you really said.
29:53 That was what I—
29:56 I mean I guess it was just fortunate that there was nobody on the bridge on the other side.
30:03 Yeah. I mean that you know it wasn’t like you know one of those things where someone was coming but yeah if there was something opposing— Yeah. Yeah, they probably would have panicked because the way I was in a spinner, you know, there it was no way, you know, they would have had to do something crazy to avoid me. So, you know—
30:24 Gotcha. Gotcha. But, you know, you can look back at it now, we can laugh about it and it’s another tool in the toolbox of being a professional driver, I guess. You know, when it’s wintertime conditions, you’ll be out again in the winter, you’ll go across a bridge in the winter. How will you approach it differently?
30:43 Oh, sure. Oh, man. I mean, this isn’t my first, you know, like I say, you know, I’ve been driving for a while, so, you know, this for sure wasn’t my first experience in this car. I mean, I had one experience where I was driving and I was actually I was in a vehicle. I was actually transporting just cars at this point. So I was doing a driveaway you know, with just standard vehicles. You know, I wasn’t doing box trucks or anything like that. So I was in a vehicle and fortunately, you know, I’m glad, you know, it was a standard vehicle and not a box because that would have been a completely different issue. But, I was driving and I was like, “Hey, you know, I had a broken wiper. I was driving up in the Dakotas and you know it gets really it I mean I don’t know how people move but this is part of the thing that helped me to know how to move throughout the seasons.”
31:54 You know I know to stay low during the winter time and I’ll you know come up to the north and visit a little bit in the summertime because it’s bearable. Mhm.
32:03 But so I like I said, I just happened to be in the Dakota and this was in the winter time. Maybe it probably was somewhere around this time maybe. Anyway, I had a bad wiper blade. The blade was gone completely and I didn’t even notice that during my pre-trip—
32:29 Right? So, so you know that was a strike against me, you know what I mean? Like that was really my fault, you know, because if I would have taken care of that initially, then I wouldn’t had to go through what I’m about to tell you. So, I’m going throughout the trip and I tell myself, I’m like, “Hey, you know, everything’s cool.” I’m like, “Well, I’m missing a wiper. I’ll be fine as long as it don’t start raining. I would say probably about a minute and a half after I said that, it started raining. And I’m not talking about like just a drizzle. I mean casting dog raining I’m talking about. And I didn’t even tell you that the blade that was missing was on the driver’s side.”
33:18 So it wasn’t the passenger side blade. No. So, I have a driver’s side blade that’s missing and it’s just the arm that’s just moving. Is it, you know, the passenger side’s going and the driver’s side is just going, but nothing’s happening. So, I’m leaning on the passenger side here trying to kind of get a clear vision cuz I’m like, I have to get to somewhere to, you know, safe because I’m just like in the middle of nowhere here. So, I’m just like, I have to get to somewhere safe where I can pull over. So things are, you know, not looking so up, but it’s not looking so bad either. So I say to myself, I say, “Hey,”
34:04 It’s not so bad. At least it’s not snowing.
34:07 Exactly.
34:09 Well, guess what?
34:11 Oh, no.
34:12 About 5 minutes into the— It start snowing. M you’ve gone from bad to worse.
34:20 Somehow there’s ice. Somehow there’s ice on the thing now. And it’s not just water anymore. Now it’s ice. It’s snowing. I’m like, “Oh my god, man. This is horrible. I’m going to have to stop eventually.”
34:36 So—
34:36 Not a lot of places stop in the Dakotas, though.
34:40 It wasn’t a lot of places. Luckily, the driveaway that I was working with, they, you know, they were able to get in contact with a dealership that I was able to make it to through the snow to get the wipers replaced.
35:01 Wow. Yeah, that’s— You’ve had some winter woes, if you will. Yeah. To say the least. Yes, sir.
35:10 I’m sure though it’s made you a better driver. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, I pay a lot of attention to things like pre-trip inspection. Malik, that’s very important.
35:25 Very important.
35:25 I’m sure you check those wipers now.
35:29 That’s the first thing I’m checking.
35:34 Well, Henry—
35:35 Now Henry, we know that you’re going to celebrate MLK Day tomorrow. What’s your next load looking like? Have you looked at the board yet or you’re going to take it as it comes?
35:47 You know what? I’m I haven’t looked. I’ve been seeing some interesting loads that are going to British Columbia and Canada area and stuff like that. You know, I’m like, man, it’s too cold for that. But other than that, I mean, yeah, I’m just going to take how it comes, man. You know—
36:06 Are you going to stay in the warmer climates given what we’ve just talked about?
36:12 I try to stay in a certain region, you know, for different seasons. So, you know, I would say springtime, summertime, I’m open to go anywhere, you know, but when it gets to too hot, then I’m going to come up a little bit, you know, but when it gets too cold, I’m definitely coming down some, you know. There’s I think there are more hazardous conditions in the cold weather than there are in the hot weather. I mean obviously the only thing I would think that you know you would have to be confined with you know now vehicle overheating and stuff like that. But I mean as far as you know you yourself I mean as long as the HD is working you should be fine you know. But when it gets cold, hey, you can have that heater on and those layers of clothes feel like it’s still not enough sometimes, you know?
37:21 So, well, Henry, I certainly enjoy you being with us on the Six-Figure Trucker brought to you by Norton Transport. Thanks for the stories you’ve shared with us and the insight, the wisdom. We certainly appreciate it. And the last thing I was going to say is stay warm, stay cozy, and stay safe.
