Some days I think to myself sending him out to be a trucker is a bad idea. I think of all the hazards involved, the long times away from home and not being here for the kids. It upsets me to know he has to work these longs hours to be able to support his family. But then again, I'm happy he is doing this. Since Jason and I got together he said he wanted to be a driver. At first I thought he was kidding but he wasn't. He knew everything about trucks and read about them. Heh, he even would watch...Read More » »

Hi, my name is Darren Stephens and I am from Indianapolis, Indiana. I'm 27 years old and I have two kids. I'm also going through a divorce and it has taken its toll on me. I have two beautiful kids that I have to take care of, I love my kids and I gotta make it for them, they are all I got. I have been going through a lot of ups and downs over the past couple of years, and it seems like I just can't get it right. Over the past couple of months I lost my job and the engine in my car went out. I...Read More » »

I am starting out as a truck driver and am very excited. Things have been rough lately and I have not been able to find a good job. I have been forced to be away from my family living in a homeless shelter Greenville Rescue Mission).  Thanks to PAM Transport I have been accepted to driver school and training. I am looking forward to a great career in truck driving. This prize could be a big help to me and my family with new expenses. Thank you for this opportunity and God Bless!

My father has been out of work for two years. Knowing full well that is true for many people out there these days it saddens me how difficult it really is. He was a contractor and when the bubble burst so did our sense of security. My family and I went from doing all right to each of us individually falling below the poverty line in a matter of months. We all have scraped and saved for one another and given whatever we had to whoever needed it most.

While I am proud of us for helping each other,...Read More » »

At some point during truck driving school, you're going to be faced with mastering the pre-trip inspection in order to get your CDL.  This is a very important piece to training and is something that has been known to create a setback for some students.

With over 100 items to remember, it's no wonder it takes some truck driver training students awhile to become confident in their abilities to complete a pre-trip inspection properly.

So, how do you master this important part of CDL training?

The Driver Solutions team would like to thank Thomas for sharing his story below...

I haven't been driving long. But I love it it's a great feeling knowing that with every load I carry someone somewhere benefits. Whether it be my friends or family myself or even a stranger everyone benefits. I'm away from my friends and family ALOT but at the end of the day it is all some how all worth it. I would be very proud to win but either way my story gets told.

Driver Solutions received this great entry from Mike Tinsley about the process of moving up within a company like PAM Transport.  Check it out!

I grew up around trucks... all my family members were either company drivers or owner operators. Driving is in my blood. 7 months ago I upgraded to 1st. Seat. I was a team driver for 6 months. And now recently upgraded to be a trainer with my company. I think I could use the gift certificate not for myself but for my new co drivers coming into the...Read More » »

My husband, Steven, deserves the trucker package because he is simply the best! Not only has he sacrificed spending time with me, but with our two children ages 6 and 8 to take care of his family through driving for USA truck. He is careful considerate driver to all on the road, and with his willingness to go anywhere and do anything he is simply the best.

My husband recently became a truck driver in April 2011. He has been dreaming about this job for as long as I've known him and even before then.

When we first starting dating, he left on my birthday to go to truck driving school. Once out on his own, he only lasted about 3 months. Now that we are married, he decided to give it another shot. And he is doing much better this time around.

I am extremely proud of my husband going after and achieving his dreams. He says he couldn't do this without my...Read More » »
