Many of you entering the truck driving industry may or may not have a focus on your health. Many young people, particularly young men, tend to look upon staying healthy as an annoyance, or something to be ignored until they are older.
By now, you realize the Internet isn’t merely a fad and has become an indispensable part of our lives. Websites have gone from something that only professionals are able to create and are now created and maintained by “regular people,” most of whom have merely taken the initiative to learn how to create a site to share their feelings, experiences and expertise, many times in the form of blogs.
If you’re a trucking school student, you no doubt have already heard that safety is a truck driver’s best friend out on the road. There is no more important part of the job than the driver operating a big truck than operating the vehicle safely, and it is the truck driver’s first duty behind the wheel.
There are few tasks as potentially uncomfortable as a job interview. You’re under the microscope, being needled by one or more members of a company you may or may not be desperate to work for. For truck drivers looking for their first jobs, it can be even more harrowing and confusing.
The time between earning your CDL and getting your first truck driving job can feel like months rather than weeks, years rather than months. When you’re eager to get started, it’s difficult to be patient, particularly when you’re looking to feed yourself and your family.
Do you know what the PSP is? If not, you may want to learn, because it can directly affect whether trucking companies will want to hire you.

You’re not becoming a truck driver until you get through trucking school. That’s a given, right? You know there is this large obstacle between you and your ability to make a living as a truck driver.

A lot of truck drivers, even those who are just starting out, recognize the potential benefits of becoming an owner-operator. Who doesn’t want the freedom associated with working for yourself, being a business owner, and finding the potential to hit it big and turn your little one-person operation into a fleet of your own?
