I need your help!
I'd like you guys to help me find the most compelling, interesting, and inspirational CDL Training Diaries you've followed here on Trucking Truth. I know we have a ton of them. So many people have struggled, endured the hardships, nearly given up hope, and overcome the challenges to get their truck driving career underway and I want to assemble them in one place for everyone to enjoy.
There are three main ways you can identify them:
1) Give me a link to the thread
2) Give me the subject of the thread
3) Give me the topic number from the URL. To get the topic number, just look at any page of the thread and in the address of the page you'll see something like /Topic-4523/ - that number is the topic number.
I'm going to assemble them into stories and probably put them in our blog, or create a new section on the website for them.
Off the top of my head I know Old School, Rainy, and MillionMiler had very compelling stories. I'd like to find those threads. But I know there are many, many more. I'd love to get at least 20 or more stories that you guys really enjoyed following.
Let me know some of your favorites!!!
Thanks!
