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.

Currently on my second day on the road with my trainer. We started out yesterday morning at 1:30 A.M. heading out to Lakewood, NY. To drop off a load of bottles to the Southern Tier brewing company. Then it was off to Oberlin Ohio to pick up a load of scrap paper bales and took them to the paper plant in Walbash Indiana which we dropped off this morning. We then picked up a loaded trailer with paper rolls heading back to Baldwinsvill, NY. I've been in the drivers seat most of the time. Everything is going smooth; but I'm still a little rough on shifting especially in the lower gears my coordination is still off but I must be doing things right because my trainer hasn't kicked my out of the drivers seat or the Truck for that matter....lol. Sitting at the TA truck stop in Erie PA for the night will start up again in the morning and head back to B'ville and deliver this load and get ready for the next. I'm still shooting to test out at the end of the week so I can start my solo / shadow training on Monday.
