  And people my at job always wonder why I’m always happy every day at work no matter what I got going on. I always tell them that I’m blessed to be where I am today.  As kid growing up in two civil war from Liberia and Sierra Leone I never thought I was gonna make it out alive to see my people still struggling every day and night I just use it as motivation to continue doing good in life and never forget my upbringing.

  I went to school to learn warehousing and there was a guy in my class, Bubagar from Sierra Leone.<br>He would study a course for 2 years, and then swap to a different profession. When I asked him why he does that, he said he wants to return to Sierra leone and teach people there the ropes and set up companies in order to help his country. Last I have seen on his socials he had returned there and started a few businesses and I assume he&apos;s doing well. <br>He never complained, always studied hard and got excellent grades. I helped him through the years because his Dutch wasn&apos;t good but he would always pay attention to me and together we would get him through the tests. The mentions in this docu about them having a spirit like a tiger isn&apos;t a lie!

  These shows remind me how privileged I am and how lazy I can be. <br>It also gives me gratitude for what I have. Thanks for these awesome shows!

  I am 72 retired 🇺🇲 long haul trucker and dirt truck driver. These videos never cease to amaze and teach me new &quot;McGuyver&quot; tricks about getting unstuck or doing repairs with little to no help. Thanks for these great films. ❤

  Its a mystery how they can both eat,fuel and repair the trucks for a few dollar.<br>If the engine or gearbox fails it has to be game over ?

  they NEED to make a series about trucking in africa it could be a win win the show could provide them with some desperately needed money and we get to watch and appreciate how lucky we are to have life so damned easy.

  A colleague of mine I worked with in a transport company in Cologne, Germany around 1998 even ran a small hotel somwhere in Freetown. His name was Santigie Camara, but everyone called him Sammy. Always joking and smiling. Never will forget that bloke.

  I’m going though some tough times right now. Seeing videos like this always makes me remember that someone else would kill to be in my shoes. Always be grateful for what you have.
