Oh, by the way, I'd like to introduce everyone to Dave!
Dave drove for a couple of years recently and is now retired, living in sunny Arizona. He's in charge of our news section now. Here is his bio:
Following a 33 year career in newspaper journalism Dave did a short stint driving the California, Nevada, Arizona fleet for Gordon Trucking, Inc. He now resides in sunny Arizona but keeps busy with writing and editing trucking-related articles.
So you'll see him post updates about his news articles here, which get published every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
On Fridays he does the "Friday Short Haul" where he gives a brief rundown of several short stories in the news.

I'm looking forward to seeing these articles from someone with industry experience. Thanks for sharing :-)
Excellent! In the absence of Anchorman and Rickipedia, there's been a noticeable shortage of such news articles. I like this.
Nice to meet ya Dave!
Welcome DaveW!
Welcome aboard Dave! It's nice to have you in here!
Thanks everyone for the welcomes.
If anybody is interested I've updated my bio information.
Welcome Dave, looking foward to your contributions sir!!!
Nice articles to exercise the brain. Welcome aboard!
In this Friday's Short Haul we report on C.R. England's driver pay raises, the effect that eCommerce has on the trucking industry, and announce TCA's Best Fleets to Drive For.

Great article but where is CRST on that list? Also when Big Scott sees this post he will probably wonder why CFI isn’t on that list. I LOVE my company and are FIERCELY loyal to them.
Anyway Dave glad to have ya on here and I look forward to readin some more of your stuff.
Also Turtle, I am with ya when I say I also miss Anchorman and Rickipedia. I hope they are doin ok. Brett or other Moderators have y’all heard from them?

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.
