John Illory rejoins the show and recounts his glory days on the field. After a great high school career playing basketball and football, John signed a letter of intent to play D2 football at Fairmont State University through a last-minute recruiting break involving Jimbo Fisher’s brother. Upon arrival at Fairmont, John ended up being redshirted his freshman year. Although this frustrated the young linebacker, he shares how it humbled him and taught patience, preparation, and other lessons he applies to this day in trucking and career growth. In this engaging conversation, he also shares his views on NIL, an interesting connection to NFL legend Chris Johnson, and his clothing line dubbed BBM (“Bigger Better Move”). Hey, we’d invite you to make your next move, your best move and tune in to this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker

John Illory joins us one day after a difficult ordeal that he faced over the road. When the truck he was set to deliver malfunctioned, John had to backtrack and limp the vehicle back to its pickup location. He is now behind his schedule and minus one delivery. But, to add insult to injury, by the time he returned the broken truck, no rental cars were available in his location. Man, Mama said there’d be days like this. Mama was right. But, difficult days are no deterrent for John Illory. The man loves to drive and has learned to embrace these setbacks as a means to greater growth as a man and independent contractor.
