Hi my name is Chris I'm 30 years old Married And have 4 children(girls) I'm starting Truck Driving School in 3 weeks and hope to get hired on by Arrow Trucking or TMC. My Dad has been a driver for 15 yrs now and it's something I have always wanted to do.



Maybe I'll meet some of you from the board out on the open road.

Glad to be here
 

Hi! I'm Silent Runner. Called that 'cause I hardly ever initiate conversaton. Something I'm working on.

I'm married, 3 kids, hubby pulls a hopper regionally. We used to team for about 8 months with a 4 - 11 month old baby. Wouldn't suggest trying it! Now I'm home with the currently 4 year old.

We have 2 trucks, one just for harvest. Trying to change that, too. I'd love to crawl back into a cab more than 3 weeks a year, but will have to be very local due to the kid.

This is the best forum I've run across so far, and I hope I can be a part of it.

Well, of course you can be part of it!!!! Don't be shy!!!! We get a little crazy sometimes and sometimes tempers flare a little. We keep it clean and respect each other.

We do have a great community here and we welcome you!!!!

newbie is me
 

Hi, I'm not actually driving the truck, but I am the dispatcher for the owner operator of a new trucking company starting in Oct. 2003. I would appreciate any help from all of you all who are willing to give so that I may learn the pros and cons of the trucking business. Currently contacting broker companies getting ready to start. I just want to make sure that my drivers and their trucks are safe, legal, and that I can help them to make proper decisions by learning everything I can. Thanks for help that anyone can give.

Returning a Good Deed
 

Hey, Trucking Community -
While traveling across country in October a trucker...a gentleman named James Elbert Gresham did me a real favor, helped a stranded driver! He would not accept anything but my thanks. Afterwards because of his intervention I am able to offer a reward as a thanks for his kindness. Does anybody know how to look up a trucker by this name in Chicago, IL. I would like to thank him again and offer him the reward he so justly deserves. This guy gives truckers a good name.
Your help would be greatly appreciated and many blessings on your heads!!

Hello, my name is Dan. I live in Evansville Indiana. (GO COLTS) Graduated High School in 1993. After I graduated, I went into the Marine Corps and served 6 yrs. I was a Paramedic in the Marines and thought that when I got out I would do that in the civilian world. When I got out I could not find a Medic job so, I got into trucking in Oct of 1999. Drove for Werner for about 2.5 yrs then left to go back into the Medical world. Big Mistake! You think I would have learned my lesson the first time. So here I am back into trucking. I drive for Knight Transportation now and loving it!
