Hi everyone. My name is Alan from western NC. After nearly 20 years as a driver, 10 of that with Mclane Company ('92-2002) I was placed on medical disability for diabetes. Insulin dependent. I decided to go into ministry and am currently a preacher, however, after 5 years of working on my health I am considering driving again. Basically, for the benefits. I have searched this site and the companies that will consider me after 5 years out of the truck are not getting very favorable responses. Might just keep preaching the Word!!

Hi all, I am Mike and I have been driving trucks for 20yrs or so. Mainly part time. Drove log truck and dump truck some during college. It may sound wierd, but I now drive truck as second job. I work for a local LTL company in Portland, Oregon.
I did long haul with my dad for awhile and also worked for May Trucking for a very short time.

Hello everyone, my name is Amanda, my husband Chris and I came across this website while doing our research for entering the trucking field.
We plan on becoming a husband and wife team, and this website has been great at providing many answers to our many questions. Right now we live in Knoxville TN but when we become drivers, are planning to just be nomads, hehe.

Hi everyone, my name is Crystal and I've been married to my wonderful hubby David for 12 years. We have 2 girls ages 11 and 7 and one son age 6. David drove a gas tanker for 9 years but the company cut hours with no raise so now he is in Iowa on his 4th day of training with TMC. The change has been hard on us (me mostly lol) but I'm sure that we will make this work. Gotta have faith! I found this site when we were researching companies. I"ve got some good info from here but I have also heard the good the bad and the ugly.
