Being able to have 4 days home is so nice cause I got to spend it with family! Feels so nice and relieving to be with family off the road and to rest and get up to date with family😊.
God bless you all! Happy Thanksgiving!
How's it going out there Victor?
Bird-one it is going well I am so sorry I have not kept you all up to date. So my training is going well. My trainer and I have had a few bumps in the road and butted heads occasionally but we are working through them and I am learning how to back a lot better although it is tough trying to relearn something you thought you already had a decent grip on. Oh well I am making the best of this as possible. I have 97.46 hours to go and I am really happy about that, though I want to make sure I get as many backs in as possible. I might once I get a reliable truck even go and do a lot of backing up in parking lots and terminals to get my practice in even more. Safety first right!
Im pretty sure I have driven over 2000 miles here already. I need to add them up.
Im going to get with Tennessee, and see if they can switch me to flatbed as soon as I get done with training. My recruiter would not let me do flatbed right out the door cause I would not have gone out with a trainer as rapidly as I have with the two trainers I did. She was looking out for my good it looks like.
Thank you for your prayers and help!

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
I am really happy cause we are in the midwest in Tennessee!

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.
