Toney Hurd Jr, the President of Tonka Trucking sat down with our host Rahmel Wattley to give us a sneak peek into his world. He spoke about his rough childhood, the importance of good education, the impact of sports, and of course, the will to hustle.
When he got into trucking, it not only helped him get to where he is today but also helped him get closer to his family. He connected with his father, who was a mechanic, on a regular basis regarding his issues with trucking. And this, he believes made the relationship much stronger.
He then moved into local freight, got into oil field pipes and discovered how to handle everyday operations. And slowly he was getting loads regularly from companies thanks to the relationships he had developed over the years.
At-home experience is what Toney wants to offer for drivers, where they get to be with their families every day.
