Trucker Warren, From The Begining

This morning I was on a radio show with Trucker Doc, (Sheryl Youngblood) of "The Knights of the Road" Radio show. You can find the link to her website under my favorite links on the right sidebar of this webpage. Trucker Doc is committed to the education of the public on what it takes to be a trucker. She also is dedicated to truckers themselves. She has decided to do periodic interviews with me during my training and into my career. I feel honored that she chooses me. It was fun doing the show and I look forward to doing it again.

I've mentioned before that Trucker Tom is also doing periodic interviews with me on the subject of becoming a trucker. Tom does internet "Pod Casts" that are in MP3 format and available for download. You can find the links to Tom’s website on the right sidebar of this webpage also. Trucker Tom's Pod Casts are informative, interesting, and sometimes comical.

As promised, I took some photos today. We weren't scheduled to be at the yard today but about 8 of us went to get some extra time in with the trucks to do our pre-trip inspections and Air Brake System Tests. My friend Scott and me had 1 truck to ourselves and were able to get allot accomplished. I feel more confident about those tests.
These first two pictures are of the dash of a Freightliner Century Class (AKA. Freight shaker). These are the same trucks that England uses in their fleet.




This is a picture of the QualComm. This is a Satellite device used to communicate between the truck and the driver manager. They also have one on the trailer but without the keyboard, and it is used to keep track of customer freight.



I'm looking forward to tomorrow as we will be out on the road for the first time.

Okay, once again I would like to invite you to email me at:
