Episode 21

Start Your Trucking Career With Eyes Wide Open - Get the Right Information, Have Realistic Expectations and Be Prepared! You can have a great career in trucking and make very good money while building a much better life for yourself and your family - but you cant do any of that if you quit within your first few weeks in trucking! So don't let that happen to you. Do your homework and research all the things you need to know first. Look at all the propaganda without the rose colored glasses and cut through the sales stuff and all the exaggerations and see the real truth. Get an accurate idea of what you are really going to be making. Figure out how much time you are most likely going to spend out on the road away from home and then when you do finally go home - know how much time you will be there before they require you to head back out on the road and do it all again. Get the information you need - then get prepared, set goals, have a plan and get to work on it. While you are at it - if you really want to get ahead and have a much better life - then GET OUT OF DEBT ! That starts the same way - with a decision and then, information combined with effort. Investing a little hard work and effort now will save you a ton of work and frustration and will help make sure you are successful at becoming a professional truck driver - and a top performing one too - instead of just another wannabe who quits...
