At an early age, he learned how to drive semi-tractor trailer trucks. In 1972, he relocated his family to Atlanta. After moving, he started his career in Atlanta with J & M Tank Line. However, his love for trucking awarded him the opportunity to be a trucking entrepreneur. Over the years, ho owned his own tractor trailers. His last career assignment was with Liquid Transport Corporation/Dana. George was a bona fide truck driver.
