    you might not have to pm anyone. You should be able to post a question on here and someone will most likely answer.
    Alot of knowledgable guys n gals no here. Besides somesone else might have the same question you have and they can learn from your post.

    While I think this would be a good thing for you, these guys on here are busy, If you have questions either find the answers here on the forum or ask in a new post! I suggest you start reading at where ever you want to, Because it is all a learning experience, I read everyday and there is always something I learn. I wish you well in locating a Mentor but I think if you go after this forum you will start to learn things as well. Good Luck.

    I have to agree with the guys about reading the threads. I have been in this industry for many years, and I continually learn from this site.

    Feel free to pm me if you like, but bear in mind that each of us is unique in our backgrounds, and may have a different area of specialty, or expertise. Van, tanker, flat, heavy haul, reefer, step deck, local, otr , regional, Co driver, owner operator, fleet owner... It really depends what you are looking for.

    Most of the guys and gals on the site are pretty helpful, though. Just watch out for the crybabies, the know it alls, and the truckers that tell tall tales, lol.

    But really, everyone here wants to see you succeed and do well.

    Most of us stayed in a room smaller than a Holiday Inn Express last night. So of course, we know everything. Ask away.

    I agree with 281ric, just ask your questions in this thread. You might get a lot of the same answers, but there is always a few that have a different approach than the rest, and that is not necessarily a bad thing.

    The thing with one mentor is, they might not in good faith be giving you good advice, with the whole community giving you advice there is a much greater chance of you receiving good advice.

    What part of the industry are you in?
    Flat, reefer, van,. RGN, etc.
    This alone will make some folks all but useless, and others a mine of invaluable information.
