What's the matter? Are you getting a little nervous?

HaHa! We totally get it!

Look, don't let all the foolishness you may come across online get to ya. That is an excellent place to get your start. They will work with you and support you all the way.

Here's the big thing that you need to know about: You are totally new to this, and your best approach will be to stay in touch with us here at Trucking Truth. We can help you all along the way.

There are going to be times when you don't understand why things are done a certain way - this is always the downfall of rookie drivers. They don't understand the little nuances about this industry, and then they hear other rookie drivers complaining about the same types of things. The next thing you know all these people who actually know nothing, consider themselves experts, and then they make some boneheaded decisions that really hurt their careers. Be careful about forming opinions on your training or your first company without running your thoughts by the friendly and helpful people here in this forum. We will help you sort it all out, and will do our best to help you navigate your way through that first year maze of misinformation.

You have made an excellent choice in a company to get your career started with. There is no reason why you can't enjoy many successful years at that company.
