Ground Zero to Open Roads: The Driveaway Journey of Peter Rizzo

While our host enjoys some well-earned R&R, we’re cracking open the Six Figure Trucker vault to revisit one of our most powerful conversations. We’ve got part two of our conversation with Peter Rizzo. As you heard last week, Peter is one of our top drivers and one that excels in logistics. In part two, we dive into Peter’s incredible backstory. 

Before he was a fixture in a Big Rig, our guest today spent most of his days in the Big Apple. As a kid growing up playing basketball on the streets of Long Island, 6 foot 8 inch Peter Rizzo was often called a “Skyscraper.” He went on to play hoops in college before returning to the City as a police officer in the land of skyscrapers. But, within his first few months on the job, two of those towers came down. But, when the unthinkable occurred, Peter Rizzo joined his comrades and jumped straight into the fire to do what he could to rescue lives and restore a city. We thank him for his service, and we’re honored to revisit this conversation today as he shares some of his memories of that time on the force with the NYPD. Don’t miss this conversation with one of our nation’s finest on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker
