someone who may be considering a career in professional truck driving,
it can sometimes be overwhelming when it comes to shuffling through all
of the so-called "trucking information" available on the web. Many
sites and proclaimed "driver advocates" may still lead you down the
wrong road when in fact, most are actually receiving income from
advertising for the very trucking companies that Truth About Trucking,
LLC advises against. Sites like these are not hard to find as they will even use the "Truth About Trucking" name to confuse you and to draw you to their site. They will even link to many of my articles and blog posts, representing themselves as Truth About Trucking, LLC. Don't fall for it. For
36 years, I have been involved with the trucking industry, accumulating
4 million safe miles covering all 48 states and parts of Canada and
Mexico. Having held positions including business owner, dispatcher,
consultant and driver, I spent 28 years over the road with 19 of those
years working in Household Goods. Once I made the transition from mover
to freight hauler, I discovered that OTR trucking freight was a far
different world than the moving business. The
deceitful practices by general freight trucking companies toward their
drivers are undeniable. The largest sector of people who suffer under
these practices are the CDL training students and recent truck driver
training school graduates. It can also be said that even hard-core
veteran truck drivers face many hardships within the industry. For
most, it has taken them years of hard work and sacrifice, to learn the
"inside secrets" of this industry and how to make trucking work for
them as a viable career. Professional truck driving can be a decent career, but you have to learn and be aware of many aspects of the industry:
