Hi Neil, Welcome to the truckers Forum!

 

Good luck neil and I hope the best for you. Keep me posted on your progress in the industry.

 

Good luck. Try not to let all the nay-sayers get you down. Trucking has its ups and downs like any profession, but all in all it's not a bad way to make a living!

 

Going to give you 3 pieces of advice as you start your trucking career. 1. Never let anybody talk you into something you are not comfortable doing. 2. People in cars do stupid things. Be aware of the cars and where they are and where you are. Know your position on the road.3. You can go down a hill slow as many times as you want. You will only down it fast once. I followed these 3 pieces of advice for my trucking career and they kept me out of trouble. Good Luck to you and learn to DRIVE SAFE!
