What potential truckers worry about

Proactive beats reactive every time. If you as a potential driver (or fleet executive) knew in advance the concerns about the job from current truckers before deciding to climb into the driver’s seat, wouldn’t you pay attention? Of course you would. Well, you can, to an extent. One of the great benefits of the digital age in which we live is the proliferation of websites and forums. Anyone can have one these days. And if you start one that gets some buzz, there’s credibility and a chance to monetize it with ads. The trucking industry has spawned a lot of trucker-run forums. The readers and posters primarily are the drivers who put the millions of miles on their rigs, delivering the goods. They also deliver their opinions on a wide variety of subjects, but to an audience made up of themselves mostly. Some of their views are valuable for others as well, especially when they focus in on a topic like the driver shortage.
