Congratulations!! You just keep on tootin that horn, you deserve it!!
Way to go Amber! The hard part is over!
I'm sure you've seen our Trucking Truth stuff on Choosing Your First Truck Driving Job.
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Great job, Amber! Good luck with your future company. And congratulations to Mr. Amber too!
Thanks everyone!! I feel like a part of a family here already and it means a lot to me!!!
Congratulations Amber!
It feels surreal doesn't it?
I'm very proud of you for hanging in there and getting that license. There's more work ahead, but I'm confident you've got the stuff to pull it off. Keep us updated.

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.

My husband and I passed our State test!! I lost one point on my pre trip, the examiner was like who taught you your pre trip?? It was so good!!! I also managed to get no points on my backing! Using one pull up and GOAL for the offset and alley each. And to top it off they said I got a really high score on the road!! I felt like I drove horrible compared to my time on the road with a trainer, too darn nervous! Sorry to toot my own horn but I'm just so darn proud of myself!! On to the next training phase!! I'm so looking forward to the puzzle of using our HOS efficiently and planning those trips!!
Now we just have to decide what company to go with??!!!! I know the mantra here is all big companies are very similar but it still feesl like a huge decision with very little info to go on.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement and source of knowledge!! I will keep y'all up to date on our progress!!
