Russ's Bio

I spent 30 years as a merchant seaman and retired. Now, at 60, I want to drive OTR long haul for a second career. I am married and have seven children (2 girls still in the house at 11 and 13). My wife is used to me being gone - but at least in trucking I can telephone.

This is a great website. Many thanks to whoever maintains it.

Online classes

Hey Everybody:

I was wondering what you experienced drivers think about doing an online class while on the road. I would be using a data stick instead of truck stop wifi.
