Book excerpt: Let’s talk about the money, most truck drivers can expect to earn $30,000-$40,000 in their 1st year. I know some drivers who work as Solo drivers and decide to give up their apartments so they can stay in the truck all year long and save money. They still take days off from time to time, and stay with friends, family or rent a hotel for a few days so they can take a break. Once you have 6 months experience you may be able to find a job that pays more money. I’ve seen motivated drivers earning in the $60,000 range in their 1st year. The money is there to earn if you look for it. Too many drivers get complacent and they stay with the same company in the same position making low wages for years and years. Sometimes all you need to do to increase your income is switch positions within the company. If the company you work for doesn’t offer anything that will take you to the next level then find another company that will. I know a Walmart driver who earns $100,000 year and he’s home every night and weekend. Companies pay you in cents per mile (CPM) so the more mileage you drive the more you earn The bottom line is company drivers can make anywhere from $30,000 to around $100,000 per year. Stay away from company lease options, 99% of the time only the company does well with this type of position. They will make their lease program sound perfect, touting how you will be your own boss and make lots of money. Drivers often find themselves making just enough to cover the WEEKLY truck lease payment. If you want to truly be your own boss as a owner operator of your own truck then save up the money to buy a used truck cash or you may be able to find a 3rd party (not company sponsored) lease program. I have seen a couple of decent 3rd party lease programs, these will allow you to contract with any company you want. So if you’re not making enough money with one company then you can easily switch to another. Owner operators can make anywhere from $50,000 - $250,000 per year. About the Expert I have been driving a truck full time for over 4 years at the time of this publishing. I have been a company driver for 3 of those years and an owner/operator for a bit over one. In the 4+ years that I’ve been driving I have spent one year driving most of the lower 48 states. I haven’t made it up to North Carolina, and a few other states in the northeast but all of the others I have. For the last two years I have been truck driving with my team from Los Angeles to the Kansas City area and back. We did that twice a week. After doing that for about a year I was able to get a driving position working nights and being home every day. I did that for almost year. I left there because the company did a pathetic job of maintaining their equipment. I was afraid of getting stopped by law enforcement. So I left them and got my own truck to take care of. Now I am contracted with a carrier to move their freight and it works out a lot better. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Late Truck Driver isn’t about a deceased truck driver or someone who arrives late to pick up or deliver a load. It’s about becoming a truck driver later in life. David Longanecker always dreamed of driving a big rig, but his life took a different path, leading him to enjoy a career as a higher education administrator and in policy analysis. When he retired, however, he chased his dream. In this book, he shares how he made the leap, what it was like prepping for and taking the test to earn his commercial driver’s license, and how he earned real-world experience on the road. He also pays tribute to the beauty of big rigs and the pure joy that comes along with looking at them and driving them. There really is nothing like admiring the beauty of a landscape while sitting in the elevated cab of a big rig tractor. Whether you’ve wondered what it is like to drive a big rig, want to make a career change, or simply crave to know more about truck driving culture, you’ll get an accurate picture of what the life is all about with this book.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Motor Transport Corps Executive Division Training Branch: Motor Truck Section Drivers Course Underlying all successful instruction must be the realization on the part of each man called upon to teach in any subject that all instruction is given for the student, not for the instructor. Obviously, then, the success of a teacher must be measured by the amount of his teaching which is converted into working knowledge by his students. The job, then, for every member of the instructing staff at every school is to put his information across so that the members of the class get it and are able to use it. The results obtained in frequent quizzes, oral test questions, or the performance of duties by the student, which require the application of material taught, are the fundamental measures of the success of the instructor in his work. Too much emphasis should not be placed on set written examinations, for a great deal of information may be acquired and used in a poll parrot manner, allowing a man to get high rating on a written examination, but a very low rating on any examination in which the student must apply the knowledge obtained in class room to the performance of a definite task. The instructor should also bear in mind that men learn most things through one, or more, of three senses: hearing, sight and touch, and that that instruction will be the most successful which permits the student to learn in the most ways. Furthermore, some men learn best by hearing, others, by touch, and still others by sight, so that no one method can be used with maximum success for all. Having the foregoing facts in mind, every instructor, in preparing his work for class presentation, should plan to use, to the fullest possible extent, in the class, pieces of equipment, such as: rifles, pack equipment, parts of vehicle mechanism, such as axles, carburetors, spark plugs, or even whole chasses, if required, etc., etc. He should also use blackboards as much as possible for sketches, diagrams or definitions, etc., and should, so far as possible, insist that each student keep a note book in each subject, which must be neat in appearance and accurate in their statements. This will necessitate their inspection periodically, which should be done by the instructor or his assistants. It will be seen that certain lectures are much shorter than would be required to fill the entire periods allotted to them. This is done purposely so that there will be an opportunity for the instructor to make up for lost time, occasioned by inspections, etc., etc.; or an opportunity for quizzes, special lectures, and such other work as the instructor may desire. It will also be seen in the course for Motor Transport Company Mechanics that in places a four-hour period is devoted to certain lectures. This is done because the company mechanic must be a skilled workman and it is not enough for him to be informed on a subject; he must also be able to perform certain duties. The long lecture period permits reiteration, discussion and repeated demonstration on the part of the instructor, so that the student will get all details and be able to use his information. The instructor should use all his ability to put his ideas across in as many ways as possible to be sure that his class gets them thoroughly. Instructors must look well to the discipline of their classes. Insistence should be placed on all students sitting in proper attitudes during class, and no lounging or otherwise careless appearance permitted.
