Trucking ain't easy
Back in 2013 I was an OTR Class A, I was working for CREngland reefer, I had just completed my training and went on as a I.C./ phase 2 trainer, and sadly, just as things were going well, I get a phone call from my family saying that my stepfather had passed away from a sudden heart attack and that my mom had nobody to help her get through it all, so I gave up my career as a trucker and haven't been back since. I now have other responsibilities, I have a beautiful 8 year old daughter and am unable to work, I'm disabled. I do respect all truckers, all that they do to keep this country going, I know the sacrifices and hardships and challenges, I can't stand dispatcdispatches, they haven't the slightest clue. Keep on Trucking
Wow - thank you for sharing your story with us in the community Thomas Breckles . I'm sorry to hear what happened and how it took you away from trucking.
But life does move on. Truckers are the hidden backbone to so many industries. Do you have any advice for someone looking to break into the trucking industry at this time?
