So I finally got a trainer today, and I will be leaving tomorrow morning, but now that I finally HAVE the trainer I feel sick to my stomach and there is a whirlwind of emotions going on...fear, sadness, excitement, etc. I hope these feelings go away after a day or so on the road.
Dont worry you got this. Remember you have your fez!
You'll feel 1000 times better once you get behind the wheel and start driving. Everyone has a lot of anxiety and uncertainty. But soon enough you'll be havin' a blast....you'll see!
If you have the same luck as me, you will actually BE SICK for the first 5 weeks . . . some kind of weird virus that made me have "morning sickness" like a pregnant woman . . . lost 45 pounds, though, so not so bad - at least I didn't GAIN any weight like I thought I might . . . HOWEVER, it proved to me I can master ANY bad situation out here - you just have to keep on keeping on . . . so don't worry about 'nothin' just keep on truckin' (pardon the late 60's reference but I AM an old fart . . . )

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.
