The Road to Trucking
Trucking looks simple from the outside—get a CDL, get a truck, start driving. In reality, it’s a mountain of regulations, decisions, and details that nobody hands you all at once. This section breaks down the basics that actually matter:
CDLs, DOT rules, hours of service, safety, equipment, and freight—explained the way a mentor would explain it, not the way a manual buries it. If you’re starting out or just want to fill in the gaps nobody warned you about, this is where to start.
