Barros worked as an editor most recently for Postmedia News before pursuing a career as a trucker.

“Since I love long drives and was always intrigued by trucks, I decided to give trucking a shot as a profession. I obtained my CDL and began working as a longhaul truck driver, delivering goods across, Ontario, Quebec and the Great Lakes area in the U.S.,” he said.

We look forward to having Leo join our editorial team.”
