Selling Trucking Truth

Hey Brett, Ken and I were chatting up everyone about TT - especially about the "High Road" training stuff. If you saw the junk they have in their lab to help the newbies get ready for the CDL permit testing, you'd be as appalled as I was. I button-holed one of the guys in charge . . . he gave us the welcome speech and was telling all of the students about some other online preparation site . . . anyway, I grabbed him in the cafeteria - "Got a minute?" I asked . . . "Sure," he says and sits down. I asked him if he had heard of TruckingTruuth,com and specifically bragged on the High Road stuff. I told him how prepared I was when I went to the Nevada DMV and that many others had posted similar results and glowing reviews of the High Road system. Then I said, "Geez, that stuff in there (jerking my head toward the sim lab) is real crap." How to win friends and influence people, eh? I think he was slightly insulted because he looked at his watch real quick and realized that maybe he DIDN'T have a minute. I told him (as he was rushing away) to be sure and check out the website. He said he'd heard about if from others and would take the time to check it out. You might call the various truck companies and schools and brag on yourself a bit - maybe you could package it as an app and sell them a cloud based training for a nominal, per user fee. I want 10% of the action . . . just kidding (5 % is plenty)

So anyway, being diplomatic is hard sometimes when you are being truthful. Really, their content and presentation was atrocious and I had to turn it off and leave TWICE. I have to do the whole thing over again in two weeks (after my ostracism has passed) and I an NOT looking forward to it.

We're actually very popular around there. I've met a bunch of students that I wasn't even aware of that knew about TruckingTruth. But seriously, with how many failed students they have they really should give our program a shot.

And Stan hates it when the simulator is called a videogame, it doesn't surprise me that he wanted to leave.

Thanks a ton for mentioning us Jopa! That was really an awesome thing to do!

I know the various large trucking companies all use different versions of online training and every one of them is a joke. It never ceases to amaze me how incompetent large corporations are. I've either tried them myself or gotten reports from people who have and there's nothing on the planet that compares to the results people get from our High Road Training Program. I could probably create a duplicate version of the High Road on its own website (I do own highroadtraining.com but I don't have anything on there) and package some deal for the trucking companies. Maybe I will one day. But right now I'm far more worried about improving on the program. In fact....

I'm building a simulator! But it's not a 3D, immersive, video game style simulator. It's going to be a structured system to teach the fundamentals of backing, slow speed maneuvering, and shifting. It's going to be highly effective. People are going to be stunned when they see how well my lessons will translate to real trucks. And people can call it whatever they like because when they're finished with it they're going to know 10 times more about backing, slow speed maneuvering, and shifting a rig than people normally do after months on the road. So they can call it Peanut Butter & Jelly or Playtime for all I care.....as long as it works and people are talking about it I'm good with it.

And I also want to build an extensive pre-trip inspection module, a trip planning module, and a flatbed securement module.

So the way I see it is I pretty much have two choices....I can spend my time selling and marketing what I already have or I can spend my time improving upon what I already have. To be honest, I'm too paranoid to stop improving on everything because I'm afraid the minute I stop moving forward someone is going to pass me by. So I keep saying, "Geez I should call some trucking companies and schools about this" but then I just get back to working on making it better.

But seriously, with how many failed students they have they really should give our program a shot.

Well pretty soon one of our own here is going to be one of their top trainers so maybe he could put a word in for us, eh?

Jopa isn't lying...I agree and I've told everyone that I've met about TT and how great the training materials are.

But seriously, with how many failed students they have they really should give our program a shot.

Of course! I'll have to prove myself as a trainer now and putting out a TRIFECTA student is no easy task. We'll see how it goes with Ken. But I plan to kick some ass, specifically to those know-it-alls who have been trucking for 30 years.

I tell everybody about trucking truth. Some have even joined here. I am happy to see other people have the lightbulb come on after they do the training. Brett made a grea program.

Brett we need TruckingTruth Pocket Tee Shirts....

Or maybe hats

Ooooooooooo I would buy a hat for sure!
