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.

I am still in training but today was my first day in the snow. Going through Nebraska towards Oregon I encountered so far about three different rollovers and at least four jack knifed trucks and it barely started snowing last night. I have also seen a few four wheelers rolled over or skidded out on the side of the road. I made a short video that I will post to youtube and put the link here if interested. I have a feeling it is just the beginning since the weather will get worse as we head east. Just wanted to say be careful out there and drive slow in the snow please. It is really sad seeing all of these wrecks that most likely could have been prevented. I even got out of my truck to check one jackknife that did not look tagged to make sure no one was in there hurt or anything. Very scary weather for my first time in the snow, Be careful everybody.
