		<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.  <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rickhu45/2010/03/becoming-an-american-trucker">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are few things in the world that most people will ever do that will test your character more than driving a truck for a living. Everyone and everything from your truck driver training to your CDL examiners, the trucking companies you work for, the challenge of handling a big rig safely, the time away from family and friends, and of course the other drivers on the road will all push you to your limits sometimes - and those that survive and thrive in the trucking industry are the ones that develop the character needed out there to be safe and enjoy their career on the highways. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/admin/2009/02/truck-driving-will-test-your-character">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi all! Thanks for checking out my blog. This is the first of hopefully many, many more to come. And I hope I can help those of you who are considering getting into the trucking industry. I'm not a truck driver quite yet. In fact, I'm in a white collar, 9 to 5, office job right now (why do I want the career change? More on that later). I'm in the stage right now that many of you reading are probably in. I still need to attend a truck driving school to obtain my CDL, find a company that will hire me, go through their training, and learn all the tough lessons that lay ahead when I finally get my own truck! So here's my story - why I'm doing it, what I'm hoping for, and what I'm all about..... <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/truckermike/2008/12/why-im-finally-becoming-a-truck-driver">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don’t believe there is anyone in America, or a multitude of
other countries for that matter, who hasn’t considered becoming a truck
driver. We’ve all wondered from time to time what life would be like
traveling the highways day in and day out … living on the road, seeing
the sites, meeting people from far and wide, and watching the sunrise
and set from one coast to the other. So what would it be like, and would it be for you?
