Changing gears for this girl who never drove a manual in her life has been challenging. One very important fact that I had no clue about is that neutral is not a spot. On my automatic car, neutral has one place. Apparently on a manual, it has a slot and not a place. No one ever told me that. I'm hoping that knowledge makes life a tiny bit easier.
Funny how most take for granted that others wouldn't know! Best of luck!!

Are my expectations of driving for a second career reasonable
Partagas, I'm looking alot in the same situation you are! Retired after 32 years for the state of MO., moved to WA with wife who works as nurse to be near family. Retirement isn't the greatest for me either. Bored more than anything. I've been looking at this site awhile myself, trying to convince wife on me trucking after I get ducks in a row! Any way, I've been looking hard at System Transport/ flatbedding, mostly good things I read! Might check it out!!

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007.

We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.
