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.

Hi TT. Just stopping by to give you an update on me. I'm at the end of my first month OTR solo. It has been challenging. Backing up to some wierd docks have been the worst. I'm very slow, and goal several times, but I've always been successful. By successful, I mean I get the dock bumped, and haven't hit anything! I love my truck. The big city traffic is manageable. So after years of local driving.... I'm succeeding! I owe this to you guys. Thank you.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
