🌾 Axles & Acres — Built from Durrett Recovery
Stories, lessons, and practical resources from building a business and a life together—one acre and one mile at a time.
We're a husband-and-wife towing business living and working on a little piece of land in Virginia. For years, our work and life have run together—building businesses, raising a family, working from home and on the road, starting over after setbacks, and learning how to work together without forgetting why we were working so hard in the first place.
Behind much of that story is Durrett Recovery, the towing and auto transport business we've built together. But somewhere along the way, we realized we were building more than a business.
We were building a life.
That's what Axles & Acres is about—the work, the road, the acres we come home to, our faith in the middle of it, and the things we've learned that might help someone else.
🚚 Build the work.
🌾 Live the life.
☀️ Notice the little lights along the way.
Real work. Real roads. Lessons learned along the way. Towing, auto transport, small business, equipment, guides, reviews, and lessons from years of building and working together.
Real life on a little piece of land—one ordinary day at a time. Home, land, marriage, family, projects, country life, faith, Scripture, books, and the lessons we've picked up through building a business, navigating difficult seasons, getting older, and learning to enjoy some of what we've worked so hard to build.
Some of the most meaningful lessons come from ordinary days, unexpected setbacks, and people who probably never knew how much their words or example mattered. We share those stories and little lights along the way, hoping something we've learned might help somebody else.
Things we've used, learned from, created, and found helpful along the way. Guides, towing equipment, reviews, books, business tools, acreage finds, and other resources that have earned a place in our work or everyday life.
If it's here, there's a reason.
This Is Our Real Life
If we write about it, we've lived some part of it. If we recommend it, there's a reason. And if we share a lesson, it's because life taught us something worth passing along.
We're still building, still learning, still choosing each other, and still figuring out how to enjoy the life we've worked so hard to build. Whether you're building something of your own, starting over, navigating a new season, or simply trying to figure out the next right step—
We hope something from our life helps you with yours.
You don't have to have the whole road figured out. Sometimes you just need enough light for the next step.
Keep going. 🌾
One acre. One mile. One ordinary day at a time.
