About Us

About TruckingTruth

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road, I wanted to help people who were considering becoming a truck driver understand the trucking industry, and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker.

You can contact me at brett@truckingtruth.com

After several years of over the road driving, TruckingTruth's all-time most popular blogger and long-time forum veteran Mike Rogers (TruckerMike) came off the road in November 2011 and joined TruckingTruth full time. During his trucking career, Mike traveled through all 48 continental states in all weather conditions maintaining a perfect service and safety record. He also became a certified CDL driving instructor and basically had a total blast living the truckers lifestyle.
