I think this is a do-over but not 100% sure. Premise was that a guy basically becomes rich while revamping the trucking industry.

Banadin's The Richard Jackson Saga isn't a do-over. While the first three books could be regarded as (historical – 1958) fiction the following novels go more and more into Alternate History. Because Banadin reworked the book structure for publishing at Amazon it's problematic to say in which book and chapter you'll find a given event. For us here on SOL it was originally 4 stories, but in a later version he included the short story 'My Summer Vacation 1958' into 'Ninth Grade 1958-1959'.
During 'Summer Vacation 1959' he got the idea of sea transport with containers. Through 'Tenth Grade 1959' he patented the containers and the shipping of goods from the producer to the customer in a container. This revolutionized trucking, railroading and shipping and finally even air freight. His holding company has interests in container ships, manufacturing containers, trucks and trailers, transportation, ...
In the new books I guess this happens from the end of book 5 through books 6 and 7.

I must be missing a post because I don't see any other post about Banadin's Richard Jackson series other than this one I'm responding to ?
I liked the Jackson series but sadly he doesn't post his new books here :(

Rereading my post I see why you think there is a missing post.
My first sentence
Banadin's The Richard Jackson Saga isn't a do-over.
was meant to clarify that it doesn't meet the OP's
I think this is a do-over but not 100% sure
.
After removing the old versions, he finally (starting exactly one year ago) posted here the first 3 books (that's less than half of the removed stories).
Book 3 ends with Chapter 47, but that's just ⅔ von 'Ninth Grade 1958–1959' at the end of the old Chapter 26. (posting ended Nov.2021). He would have to post four more books to get to the end of the old 'Tenth Grade 1959'. the follow-up would then be 'Book 8 Oxford University'

I have to ask, if it doesn't meet the OP's requirements, why even suggest it? All you have have done is confused the issue, derailed the thread and (potentially) frustrated the OP needlessly.

Because the OP himself wrote:

How do you cope with this? Refrain from suggesting any non-do-over story which might fit otherwise?
Or suggesting the story but clearly stating it doesn't fit this week requirement?
HM.
If it isn't a do over story, is it a do under story?
Missionary stile?
But probably it's a do sideways story, maybe a do left or do right story.
