Dear Future Trucker,

Trucking is an amazing career with the potential to make great money ($35-$60k your 1st year!), see the country, experience adventure, overcome challenges, and even be your own boss.

Trucking can be all that...

IF you know just what you're getting into, get the right training, AND you have an expert guide to show you the way!

When I first got into trucking back in 1992, I did not know a thing about trucking. After seeing an employment ad in the newspaper from a trucking company offering to train even inexperienced drivers and help get them their CDL, I figured... Why not give it a shot? I needed a change of pace from the same old 9 to 5 routine, and trucking sure seemed to fit the bill.

I'd soon be on the road, thoroughly trained and prepared to make a lot of money and successfully living the trucking life. Right?

Boy, was I wrong. I had no idea of what I was getting into, or even a clue of how to get there. The training I received at this certain truck driving school (one sponsored by a very well known trucking company) left me poorly trained and unprepared to succeed in the big world of trucking.

I had to learn trucking the hard way...by trial and error. In fact, this took years. And now, over 2 million miles later, I can humbly say I know a lot about the world of trucking, how to become a successful driver, and how to get the most out of the trucking life.

And I can show you how to do the same, without the years-long learning curve

After Becoming a Trucker helps you get started on your new trucking career, Trucking Mastery will take you to the next level.

You'll go way beyond the trucking school basics as you learn what very few truckers out on the road know.

If you're just curious about trucking, you'll get a realistic, birds-eye view into the lives of truckers. Seeing the good, the bad, and even the ugly parts of trucking will help you to make a more informed decision about whether a trucking career is for you, and exactly what type of trucking you'd be best suited for.

Truck driving schools teach you a lot about trucking, and are usually necessary to help you become a successful truck driver. A good trucking school can help you learn basic driving skills, get your CDL, and often help you find a truck driving job.

But trucking schools don't teach you enough about life on the road and how to succeed at each step of the trucking job and life.

Then how can YOU succeed?

Most drivers (like myself), have had to learn trucking through trial and error. Some people call this the school of hard knocks. This school can take years to graduate from... and unfortunately, some truckers never do. They end up quitting because trucking, and the road itself, can be tough to master.

Until now! Trucking Mastery was written to help you quickly get up to speed as a professional trucker.

This guide will help you master trucking in no time...

You'll learn trucking success by analyzing a complete trip. From leaving your home to making that final delivery, on to the next trip, and finally back home again. You'll discover how to perform ALL of trucking on the road. And I've tried not to leave out any details!

You'll soon be confident and relaxed as you go where others fear to go. You won't let anything or anyone bother you as you enjoy your drive down the road.

You'll discover the best way to plan for and conquer the big challenges we regularly face on the road... big cities, mountain passes, adverse weather conditions, maneuvering around unknown docks, warehouses, and/or construction sites...you name it!

You'll also learn the most efficient ways to prepare for your trips. This includes important trucking equipment and personal supplies. You'll learn how to map out your trips to save yourself time, fuel, and of course, money!

You'll get advice on subjects you'll find nowhere else... like stopping at truck stops of all kinds and sizes, how to find them in the first place, and how to get the most out of them. Plus much more!

You'll enjoy your life on the road, full of confidence instead of apprehension at every challenge that comes your way

Don't settle for average results. Achieve instant, outstanding trucking success with the help of Trucking Mastery!
