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.

Hello fellow truckers, I have a question about the main battery kill switch. I drive a 2017 freightliner cascadia evolution. I will be home for 3 days and my truck is parked with the switch in the on position. My question is will my truck be fine with the switch on or should I of switched it off before leaving the truck parked? Also when should I be switching the power supply switch off if leaving the truck parked?
