I thought about changing my status to Experienced Driver, but I felt that would be presumptuous and a little insulting to you drivers with much more experience than me.
Actually, the experienced drivers here are extremely proud of someone like you. Accomplishing what you did is really rare, and deserves a few dancing bananas and a change of your driver status.
So, you go ahead and change that status, and I'll give you some bananas. There's no presumptuous behavior on your end.
We salute you with an official Trucking Truth banana dance for your accomplishments!
Hey congrats on the one year mark! That is indeed a very big deal. The percentage of people that never make it to that point is quite high you can be sure.
And yap, you can update your status. That's what "Experienced Driver" is for - anyone who has 1 year or more of experience.
Wow. Glad to see you back. Congratulations!!! That's an awesome accomplishment. Stay safe.

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.

I haven't been on here in a while, but back in June I hit my 1 year mark. No accidents, no late deliveries, so I was pretty proud of myself.
I thought about changing my status to Experienced Driver, but I felt that would be presumptuous and a little insulting to you drivers with much more experience than me. Plus, I still feel like a rookie because I'm still learning something new every day (which is never a bad thing).
