1.0 out of 5 stars Very Simplified....Not much Use, July 23, 2000

This review is from: Trucking Simplified (TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL TRUCKING OPERATION) (Paperback)

As someone who is working on a career in the trucking industry, I purchased this book hoping it was going to provide some significant information that would benefit my career and company. It did not. I found this book to be very basic and lacking substance, especially for the serious business person. If you need someone to tell you what clothes to pack and when to take a shower then this is the book for you. If you are looking for something that is going to help your business operate better and more profitably then save your money and keep looking.

This review is from: Trucking Simplified (TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL TRUCKING OPERATION) (Paperback)

this book had no useful business information. In my opinion it should not be listed in the business section. Buy only if you want clothes packing tips, reviews on books, restaurants, websites, etc.

This review is from: Trucking Simplified (TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL TRUCKING OPERATION) (Paperback)

This contains a lot of good information that you don't learn in driving school or company training programs.

Such as:
- background into the different types of hauling i.e van vs. reefer, moving van, car carrier, etc.
- OTR, dedicated, local routes
- company driver vs. owner/operator
- truck driving "culture"
- truck maintenance
- every driver's friend - your dispatcher
- what you need in your truck i.e. clothing, tools, food

This is not a book for the experienced driver. Although the information contained in this book can provide some useful reminders.
