		<description><![CDATA[I was probably one of the most unlikely candidates to become a truck driver that the world has ever seen. I had spent the past 20 years of my life working in television broadcasting in various roles. While it had been exciting and challenging at first, the years had eroded my role into a thankless and suffocating rut. I seriously needed a change...a new experience. This is the beginning of my story - the life of an American Trucker. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Would you drive a truck if the trucking company you worked for only paid you enough to cover your bills at home and your meals, but nothing more after that? For me the answer would be yes. I love driving and I would do it for free. Trucking is in my blood. Do you love driving a truck? Really love it? If so, then trucking is in your blood. To me, there is a difference between liking your job and loving it. Liking your job means you enjoy going to work, you enjoy the people you work with, you enjoy doing your job. Loving your job means you would do it for free! For me, trucking fits the bill.  ]]></description>

Most CDL training schools and all truck driving companies (by federal law) will require you to pass a DOT physical before you start, and then again every two years.

		<description><![CDATA[Unbelievable. Simply a horrifying number of job losses. 2.6 million job losses is the government's official number. There will likely be small revisions to that number, but not enough to matter. And the worst thing that you must understand is that this is not the end of it - not by far. So can a career in trucking save the day for many of these factory workers, construction workers, salespeople, retailer workers, and other job loss victims across the board? You bet it can!]]></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.
