Do You Have What It Takes?

Excellent content Brett!

So far each of these have been succinct and to the point, yet filled with valuable, and helpful information.

This particular one is highly recommended by me.

Another very helpful podcast. Thanks Brett for the realistic viewpoint and great tips!

Thanks guys!

Ya know I've been listening to a lot of podcasts the past couple of months and so many of them simply hit "record" and let it ride. Whatever happens, happens. The recording quality often isn't very good, the content isn't well planned out, and they "ummmmm" and "uhhhhhh" their way through it.

I decided I would make sure mine were indeed short and to the point, and well edited. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to do one of these the way I'm doing them, even though they're only about 5 to 15 minutes long. But it's worth it because once it's done, it's done, and you're going to live with it forever. So it's worth taking the time to do a professional recording and all of the editing it takes to get it right. At least that's how I see it.

Oh, and if anyone has any ideas for topics they'd like me to cover just let me know!

Absolutely loved it. The one trait that I don't have is one you said will develop--nerves of steel. I hope it's true that it will come in time. I have had a few close calls in my vehicles and I sure can't say I handled it with nerves of steel, although I did manage to push onward. I hope that will come in time when I do hit the road.

Brett, once again thanks for this great podcast.

Well done Brett. I've personally only been at it now for a year and what a year it has been. Everything you mention is accurate. With to me the biggest need you mentioned is patience. If anyone ever has to try and drive in NYC or any major city in heavy traffic without patience I would be scared to see your heart rate.

It's been a excellent one year for me and I can't wait to keep on going. Sadly, LTL is slow right now. But all part of the job
