I am getting my first truck tomorrow. I am excited and nervous. DM said we will not go out until the potential snowstorm passes. I guess they do not want us to start the first day in a snowstorm. Sounds good i do not want to start my first day in a snowstorm either. lol
That's awesome
can't wait to get my own rig
Thanks Quinton, it is exciting
How can you forget your first date? How can you forget your first truck?
My first Swift truck was a purple KW T660. Sometimes I wonder who's driving it now?

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.

Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
