Who Helped You Get Here?

Taking that into consideration, remember to allow others to help you during your training as well. Everyone who loves you wants to see you succeed. Stay humble and don’t let your ego get in the way of the process that has brought you this far in life.

Truck Driving Is A Lifestyle

Beyond the techniques, rules, and regulations; OTR Truck driving is a lifestyle change. If you have never worked as a trucker before, it’s a safe bet that you haven’t experienced anything like it.

As you get to work earning your CDL, remember to be humble and take the advice of your instructors. Chances are they have been through the exact same training and life transition you are going through now.
