Omg, that's awesome! Making me more anxious about starting, stoppp it!!! lol. That does sound great man. The challenges and 'nerve racking'. NICE! Be safe out there!
That's awesome Travis! Life moves fast out there. You get a lot done in a short amount of time, that's for sure!
My only claim to fame hauling freight was hauling the first load of salt that went into the aquarium in Chattanooga, TN when it was first built. After the delivery the phone rang and I assumed it would be the President congratulating me on such a momentous event but nope - it was my ma saying hi to me during her lunch break.

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.

So I'm about 3/4 of the way done with my trainer and we had a hell of a week this week... In a very cool way!
Too much to type on a phone but the gist of it is, ran 2800 miles around the northeast, two loads very very close to legal weight limit, hauled another load of Captain Morgan (woohoo!!) from Baltimore to Boston, Drove through NYC for the first time (talk about nerve racking), and now we're delivering a load of sand from NY to Kentucky that the owner told us will be used on the race track for the Kentucky derby next year...
How cool is that?!?
