First Year Down.

Got through my first year and it has been a challenge but mostly good challenges. in my first year I have been trough mountains, 40 mph winds, blinding thunder & rain storms, ice storms, snow storm, dust storms I think they call those dustnados in Oklahoma. blew a steer tire at about 65 mph. I have met all kinds of people from all over the world some I like some I don't but they all are interesting. I'm usually home two days a week which I guess isn't t bad but can take some life adjustments if you're not used to that life style. They told me it would start getting a little easer after my first year. It has been easer. I feel like I have got most of the basics down and now working on learning how to be a real trucker. I had a guy tell me after five years you know everything there is to know. I'm not sure I agree with that. I learn something new every time I go out.

Hey that's great news Dan! Congrats on hitting the one year mark. If you look back on what you thought trucking would be like, I'll bet getting to this point was far more of an adventure than you ever thought it would be. When I got started in trucking I had hoped life on the road would be one grand adventure and man was it ever! It's nearly impossible to explain trucking to someone in a way they can relate to if they've never done it.

Congrats! You made it to that pivotal point in your trucking career! I can't wait to get there!

I would say the guy who said that doesn't. And, you knowing he doesn't is excellent! Congrats on the year.
