Ask a trucker the questions you've always had but had no one reasonable to ask. I've driven on and off for 20 yrs. Been running this website since 2008. AND I'm not the only driver responding to questions you ask about trucking or the trucking lifestyle!
No question you might have is dumb so ask away. But first be sure to read the questions that have already been asked. And if you just want to browse the questions, you might discover information you didn't even know to think about!
Ask Questions and Read Answers Here
No matter what's on your mind I am sure you will get some kind of answer.
Just remember, we are used to talking on the CB not typing it in the computer so you may have some unexpected responses!
Answering Questions Professional drivers feel free to answer any questions. Also, feel free to add comments to any questions answered if you have more information or advise to give.
Share your knowledge and wisdom! No longer do you have to keep all that knowledge bottled up inside or limited to your Cobra 29 classic. Let it shine where it will count the most right here for potential drivers and other people interested in learning about trucking.
Thanks for sharing
P.S. Don't forget this a positive family oriented website not a CB!
Explicit language and vulgarity will not be tolerated.
Thanks for understanding!
Ask A Trucker has had a lot of questions about felonies. The questions regarding felonies will be moved to a page about felonies on your record. In short the best thing for you to do is call a lot of trucking companies to see if they will hire you with what you have on your record, watch as I call a few trucking companies here and ask them about trucking jobs and the hiring of felons. Notice the wide variety of answers about tolerance and policies.
Check and see if someone has asked your question though the entire website with the search bar below. Down further you will see where you submit your question which will also appear on the website.
