About the Author

For the new people.Forget about the author. I'm a guy who's been deep in this bussiness and that's how I wrote this book. I didn't start writing this to make money on it, I wrote it so you can make money from it. I heard a trucker say, the other day, that he's been in this bussiness for forty years, it's all bad and there is no hope. Anyone can just read a book. One must be open minded and apply good things to thier lives in order for anything to work and set there careers and lives on a path to prosperity and not end up as this man. This book should have been called the Truckers Angel, (meaning messenger), decended from trucker Heaven, to bring those out of the pits of trucking Hell. After S&H it's going to cost a little over twenty bucks. But I promise you, if applied, it will generate that ten times over on the first occation. Make life easier and make more money with this little book.

This review is from: INSIDE THE TRUCKERS WORLD: The Keys to Achieving Personal and Financial Growth in Trucking (Paperback)

I'm a former law enforcement officer, retired Naval Officer, and recently obtained my CDL "A" for employment with an OTR carrier. I've been in search of a well written book for general information about the trucking industry; something motivational, honest and informative.

This is a depressing book, written by someone who leaves you thinking he's been picked on all his life. No or little effort was made in being grammaticly correct or to logical thought. The author is an example of someone who skipped English classes, laughed at those who did their homework, and now wants to make a buck off a horribly written book. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. UNLESS MADE TO, DON'T READ IT.
