I said I was a truck driver trainer.....an I am, sort of....my son is planning on starting a career as a professional truck driver come January......so up until now....I was the one who trained him to pick up after himself...and be an honest, clean, friendly, respectable, person...so there....I found this blog site and reading all of your blogs is sometimes frightening for me....(i'm a little overprotective) but also comforting. My son is so anxious to get started driving trucks and I am happy for him....but heaven knows I will miss him. So even though you don't have a category for the mom's of truck drivers....I am here anyway..and would appreciate any advice you have for me as I send my baby off in one of those great big trucks....Yikes!!!!

I don't know who your son will be driving for, but tell him not to get discouraged and try to stay with the company for the first year. It's very likely that he will want to quit and go drive for some other company. Once done with training it will seem like nothing is going right. It can get very frustrating out here. It's not like other jobs where somebody is near by to give advise or help.As the first year goes on, things will become easy. He will need all the moral support you and others can give him. It will help if he can have another driver to call and talk things over. If not be willing to be there at most anytime of the day or night. I've been doing this for about 20 years now and still get frustrated once in awhile. My best advice would be to get him a laptop computer and put a routing program on it. The programs can be picked up at any Best Buy or any store that sells software. The laptop doesn't need to have alot of frills.Any questions look me up in the truck driver section
