Happy to do so!

I've learned so much from TTR and it's already helped me avoid some huge mistakes in getting my driving career started that I really wanted to find a way to repay the favor in some small way.

And I can't share much knowledge about the trucking industry in most other areas, because I don't have any!

I've noticed some misinformation here and thought I could help correct/clarify some of the misunderstandings, etc.

I did spend a few years in drug and alcohol testing area, where everyday I was either collecting specimens, giving breath alcohol tests, or performing the functions of a Third Party Administrator (TPA) helping companies manage their drug/alcohol testing programs/policies, etc. So, I thought maybe someone could benefit from that.
