Hi All! I’m Tierra or T. I’ve officially started the process to become an OTR driver. I am currentLy a claims rep for auto and home insurance . After years in customer service/call center I’ve become complacent with answering phones . After a week or so of research using this forum and YouTube , I’ve decided To go with Wilson Logistics. Although a long training period, I look forward to it and love their pet policy as I have a German Shepherd that I insist on bringing with me once I’m solo. I am studying for my CDL permit and hopefully will be testing next week. i plan on starting with Wilson in February/March as I am waiting on my current end of year bonus payment with current company lol which will have me while not being paid initially and to not take any advances. I look forward to posting more .

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.
