Trucking can be all that... IF you know just what you’re getting into, get the right training, AND you have an expert guide to show you the way! When I first got into trucking back in 1992, I did not know a thing about trucking. After seeing an employment ad in the newspaper from a trucking company offering to train even inexperienced drivers and help get them their CDL, I figured... Why not give it a shot? I needed a change of pace from the same old 9 to 5 routine, and trucking sure seemed to fit the bill. I’d soon be on the road, thoroughly trained and prepared to make a lot of money and successfully living the trucking life. Right? Boy, was I wrong. I had no idea of what I was getting into, or even a clue of how to get there. The training I received at this certain truck driving school (one sponsored by a very well known trucking company) left me poorly trained and unprepared to succeed in the big world of trucking. I had to learn trucking the hard way...by trial and error. In fact, this took years. And now, over 2 million miles later, I can humbly say I know a lot about the world of trucking, how to become a successful driver, and how to get the most out of the trucking life.
