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.

The stagnating economy (stagflation), along with historic fuel prices seems to have slowed a lot of freight markets to a crawl. I'm seeing a common theme cropping up, especially for owner-operators, but also with fleets like UPS, and others, truckers are struggling.
If that wasn't enough, a buddy of mine just posted the message in the image.
What the heck is going on right now? Are you experiencing a crunch, not just with gas prices, but finding loads, or other issues? How are you handling the looming crisis? Or do you think there is one? Is everything just Situation Normal?
Just curious how everyone is handling all the chaos right now. Peace.
P.S. Sorry my first post was doom and gloom.
