So, I was visiting a local Ross for some supplies before I leave for training this Sunday and what did I see you ask? A Werner tractor pulling a Swift trailer... Is there something I should know about this? Wish I would have taken a pic of it.. Looked bizarre to say the least..
Swift has over 50,000 trailers they rent them out to anyone.
Companies haul a trailer with a different name on it all the time. Schneider-Walmart. Prime-Henderson. Werner-ABF. It's nothing we need to concern ourselves with and definitely nothing that should impact our decision.
They give you the load, you take the trailer and deliver it and get paid. It's as easy as that. Heck, I've driven a pink truck with a Prime Floral trailer (has a giant flower in the center) and I didn't care. I get what I get, right?

FYI Daniel, I very much enjoyed :"the adventures of Daniel" thank you for you contribution to the trucking world.. It was really great and inspiring... So, yeah, thanks again..
I do what I can! 
I wish I could do another one with a more experienced me but I just can't find the hour a day to devote to writing like I used to. I'm a lot busier than I was back then. For example, my next three days I have to drive a minimum of 600 miles.
But I have other ideas in store including a new "What would you do" thread coming out on the 22nd and this one will be awesome and tricky!

Sounds good! Your stories tricky as they may be and your adventures are great and I know I can probably speak for a lot of truckers here, you're amazing... keep it coming... We love hearing your adventures. Take care Daniel... Wish me luck.. I start training this Monday... Stay safe out there..

Awesome! And I must say...you're way more organized than I am. I don't even schedule my releases for things on the site ahead of time.

Daniel on something like that I would seriously just have to laugh and remind myself it all pays the same.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007.

We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
