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.

We are heading to Dallas, TX to start our truck driving school. He is Military Veteran and we both have our permits already. We like being together maybe too much :) so we have been looking for a job we can do together. There are plenty of jobs like that. Well we like to travel and like to be alone without the boss looking over our shoulder. That narrowed it down to trucking. We did our research and landed on CRST. We wanted team based company that would pay for school. Plus the SIGN......... we have never seen a CRST truck in our town before, on my way to workout early morning a CRST truck was pulled into a small gas station. I stopped and talked to the driver and he told me the only problem he has had is team drivers. He said you wont be with someone for very long because the close space makes people difficult to deal with. Not a problem we are worried about after 12 years together. We will update this post after each phase of training : Classroom, driving school, orientation, driving with trainer. ANY ADVICE for married couple getting into this career is appreciated. Btw Truckingtruth.com has made this decision and our studying very easy. Thank you to all the trucking truth staff.
