The day that Rev and Cam overcame a hard obstacle. Rev had financed Cameron getting his CDL commercial driver's license so he could drive 18 Wheeler big trucks. This was the day he graduated and got his license. Shortly thereafter, he went from Macon, just a measly minimum wage, to making six figures. Now he can afford the lifestyle that Rev turned him on to.
