Common Sense Trucking
May 30, 2010 by Truckdrivernews · 1 Comment
Common sense trucking – what is that? Well, a lot of people coming into trucking now – don’t have it – and they need to get it. Some people can be “book smart” and dumb-as-a-rock at the same time. All the “books” in the world, on truck driving or whatever profession you are doing – [...]
Truckers Image Needs to Change
May 8, 2010 by Truckdrivernews · 3 Comments
Obama was right about one thing especially in trucking – it’s time for a change. The image that trucking has left upon the general public reflects how truck drivers are to be taken.
If the general public – and by this, I mean people with no relation to the industry. If they see trash lying [...]
Arizona’s New Illegal Immigration Law – Some Truckers Plan to Protest
April 24, 2010 by Truckdrivernews · 13 Comments
Why? That is about the only question I can come up with right now.
This is a bill that is needed in probably every state.
Do these same truckers complain and protest because they have to stop at the Canadian border and show documents as well? I don’t see a problem with it if [...]

When I first started driving back in 96, it must have been starting to change or was just about changed over. My first real trucking job was pulling a coal bucket here in Kentucky. Of course we didn’t haul much coal, until wintertime, but I did haul my fair share of rock, sand, mulch, salt, [...]
Trip Planning – back to the basics

Thanks to Jami Jones (@shewhoknowstruk on Twitter), senior editor at Land Line Magazine, for bringing this topic up.
I’ll bet a lot of new drivers have never really heard of this before.
It really amazes me, or used to amaze me to hear other drivers ask on the CB radio, how to get somewhere.

GOAL – Do you do it?

This is a term, I think I will never forget. It’s even a good thing to do if you are driving any vehicle.
