Is OTR for You? from America's top truck driver trainer

Is Over the Road Trucking for You? Perhaps and perhaps not! This is the second Gordon J Knapp book I have read. Mr Knapp knows his stuff from the inside out. I personally consider Gordon Knapp, with his over 20 years experience - America's top truck driver trainer. Occasionally philosophic, Mr Knapp asks do you really want to work around the clock? Can you put in the long hours it takes to make a decent paycheck? Mr. Knapp longs for the days when Teamsters ruled the roads, when companies had set routes and everybody knew your name. But those kinder gentler days are gone and a concern road safety is now an issue. Mr. Knapp lists a number of issues for someone whom is considering a career in truck driving. He cites WalMart as having one of the best professional teams on the road. He also points out some of the not-so-safe practices of companies that put new, inexperienced drivers on the road to train fresh out of school drivers. An old hand, Mr Knapp shares his wisdom. A good buy if you want to learn more about working in one of the biggest industries in the USA.

Is Over The Road Trucking For You?

This is the most realistic and honest book about over the road trucking I have ever seen. The information here is invaluable and this should be considered a 'MUST READ ' book for anyone interested in becoming a trucker of any kind, company or owner-operator. The opportunities and shortcomings are both thoroughly presented in an understandable profile. After reading this book, I knew that trucking would work for me, even though there are many problems to overcome. However, My friend who also read the book decided that it definitly would not work for him. GREAT BOOK!!!!
