What is the hardest thing about trucking

I can relate, first time i went out on the road was in rush hour traffic on a friday evening in downtown san francisco... my coworker told me, if i can drive here, i can drive anywhere

 

The most important thing "out here on the road" is holding yourself to a high standard, don't be lazy, do your pre & post trips EVERY DAY! YOU are your own safety manager. YOU AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE for your CDL and all the rules that go along with keeping it clean. All the other things such as backing, shifting etc come with time, practice, AND I MEAN LOTS OF PRACTICE and gaining experience. I'm new to this whole truck driving thing myself, I still have a ton of stuff to learn, but I have a few years on ya for life experience LOL good luck, don't stress just listen and work hard, you'll get it!

 

In-N-Out is absolutely THE best hamburger in the world. Double-Double, animal style, with animal style fries and a Neapolitan shake. It says something about them when it comes from someone who personifies every picture that flashes through your mind when I tell you I'm from the middle of Mississippi, and I drive a truck for a living.

 

Hey cleaninglady being from grass valley do you know ralph cummins? or ronnie sample? I worked for manuel brothers inc. for about 5 years in grass valley and my dad worked for them for 25.

 

I'm hungry now.


Wonder why?

 

All these answers are good the one thing I think is the most important, is to hold yourself to a high standard. You and YOU ALONE are responsible for your CDL. And making sure to follow the rules to keep it clean. YOU ARE YOUR OWN SAFETY MANAGER. Don't be lazy, do your pre and post trips EVERY DAY! All the backing,shifting, etc will come with time and practice. Heck, I'm still very new to this whole trucking thing, and still have a lot to learn! I still need LOTS of practice! Good luck on your new adventure! Relax and enjoy.
