TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. 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.

Hello all! In October I got hired at Advanced Drainage Solutions. I'm a delivery driver delivering all sorts of drainage products. I'm home nightly but eventually I will be taking loads that will have me out overnight. We deliver to home improvement stores, building sites, and sometimes in a agriculture field. A literal field, THAT took getting used to! I making really good money (IMO) and immediately get paid holidays, and in January I'll have 2 weeks vacation. We pull drop side trailers, slope deck and flat beds. Since 90% of the products are buried underground, tarping is not a necessity. So far I love it, hope it stays that way. With any luck, I've found the company I retire from.
