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 all,
Let me start out by saying I am clean and have not used. I'm currently working as a driver. I am a veteran and prior first responder with PTSD and have found Psilocybin therapy to have been extremely successful in the past. I'm in a good place and healthy now. But I avoid SSRI's like the plague.
I am absolutely terrified of using this therapy again, if needed, now that I hold a commercial license. I have the ability to take a couple weeks off and pad my time. But I'm scared of other methods of testing that may ruin my career.
I'm not some druggie that's looking to trip. I've only done this under medical supervision prior to receiving my license.
Any input or guidance would be appreciated. I'm not even sure what I'm asking. Just worried I may slip off the deep end and have to decide between driving and surviving. Idk. Thanks.
Fair winds and safe travels.
