16 years old and intrested in trucking industry

Worry about finishing high school and then having a blast in college. By the time you are 21 you will have changed your mind about careers atleast 10 times. Don't rush life

 

ditto what zolton said!

 

You are to be commended for looking down the road and preparing for your adult life. The best advice I can lend you is, keep your driving record clean, no tolerance for excessive speed or reckless driving. No drugs and or alcohol dependance. Get at least 2 years of college, you won't be able to run a business if you can't read a profit and loss statement. Start watching succesful people, you can learn alot about negotiation on Shark Tank. Set some realistic goals, like I want some college hours before I graduate High School. Talk to your Guidance counselor, they can help with programs at local College to get some College hours. Having a long view of your life and where you want to be, is essential if you are to be succesful. Looking down the road and driving out in front of your truck will help you see the dangers before they are right on top of you. Stubby

 

Dude i agree with 35% of the other posts. GO LIVE YOUR LIFE!!! You're young.. go chase some tail, go have fun because once you're in this industry, you can pretty much say good bye to your social life, and you have to make a lot of critical sacrifices. You will most likely change your career path about 6 more times before your even 21.
