4 Million and Counting
Truline driver Jack Fountaine has a long, safe career behind him
In 1971, Jack Fountaine was out of a job and looking for work. It was then, at the suggestion of a neighbor, Fountaine stumbled into a career now 39 years long, during which he’s traveled more than 4 million accident-free miles
At the time, Fountaine had no experience driving trucks, but he got a little old-fashioned training from the neighbor who prodded him into the driving role to begin with, “and I’ve been driving ever since,” he says.
The 72-year-old company driver for Truline hauls anything from construction supplies to beer around the Las Vegas area — Fountaine’s hometown. These local routes give him the opportunity to come home and be with his wife.
“If you have a good wife, either take her with you or get a local job,” Fountaine says.
