He also loved driving big trucks. This could be seen by the jobs he had in his life. From 1996 to 2001 he drove truck for Freeway Trucking. He then moved on to driving for Eads & Son Bulldozing Inc., Lagro, Indiana and was there for the last 18 years. During the last two years, Allen also worked for Quinn & Sons in Urbana driving dump truck.
