		<description><![CDATA[I first went to driving school in 1995. I went from a business enviornment right to the road. I was in real estate for many years, but I am, at heart, a truck driver though, and even though I have helped get many people into their own homes, driving is what I truly enjoyed. Like many drivers, I only came off the road to try and save a failing marriage. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/artieg46/2009/06/the-long-road-back">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Its funny how much getting started in trucking is so similar to getting started in the military. It takes much thought and soul searching for both, it takes constant nights worrying about if you're making the right choice, and the most common theme they both share is that you have to wade through the BS that the recruiters try and sell you.  <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rantingwarrior/2009/04/recruiters-companies-and-schools-choosing-the-right-path-into-your-trucking-career">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don't wait until school is out to begin applying for CDL Jobs. You should apply to many different trucking companies as soon as you know the completion date of your school. Trucking companies can, and do, take their time going over your application and giving you a pre-hire. Start your research early. Follow along and I'll tell you what I did and the insights I gained. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/corydmac/2009/03/cdl-schools-out-choosing-a-trucking-company">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In part three of our series, Choosing A Truck Driving Job Part III: How Your Family and Lifestyle Will Affect Your Choice, we considered your personality and lifestyle as factors that will affect your choice of truck driving jobs. In part four of our series, the next big consideration will be the size of the company you choose to work for. I have worked for companies with over 5,000 trucks and for companies with as few as eleven. It’s a huge cultural difference. Here we're going to discuss the advantages of working at one of the larger trucking companies.  <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/admin/2008/12/choosing-a-truck-driving-job-part-iv-advantages-of-large-trucking-companies">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
