One of the many perks to working an over-the-road (OTR) truck driver job is getting to travel the country.  Driving through places such as Palm Springs, California one day and the Rocky Mountains in Denver, Colorado the next day isn't something many people get to do on a regular basis.  And when you throw in the fact that working a truck driving job will pay you to travel such routes, it makes sitting in an office working a 9-5 seem...

Matthew's CDL Training Story

Late last year I made a goal to get my Class A CDL before I turn 25 in May. I had always took an active interest in bus driving and truck driving, every since I could remember.

Truck Driving School Experience - Mark's Story

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 by
I started truck driving school in order to move into a new career field. I had actually wanted to drive for a long time and always talked myself out of it. This time I went through with it and completed the challenge of attending the truck driving school in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The course curriculum is intense and demanding, but very thorough and rewarding. When you finally test out and go to State to take the actual CDL skills exam that will give you a CDL Class A, it all pays off.

All too often we hear a story similar to the one below.  Someone working a dead end job with minimal hours trying to find out which direction to head in life.  It can be so easy to fall into the same rut and before you know it another year has passed and you're no closer to living the way you really want.
