Deciding between a career in trucking and a career in construction is a choice many people face. It's not uncommon to see truck drivers who started in construction, and just as frequently, drivers leave trucking to return to construction. This can leave many wondering, "Which industry is right for me?"

Did you know there’s a big election happening this year on November 5? Okay, that was a joke. We know you know. It’s hard to make it through the day right now without hearing at least one politician's name and we know you’ve probably seen the highways littered with billboards talking about one political issue or another. Don’t get us started on the signs scattered across most lawns.

For new and seasoned drivers alike, navigating the challenges of the road can be a daunting task. If you’re new to trucking, you probably don’t know all the rules of the road and tips for success just yet. If you’ve been in the industry for decades, technology changes and new regulations may have you stumped.

As a trucker, navigating the highways can be both exhilarating and challenging from one moment to the next. The open road smells of freedom and adventure, but it also reeks of stress — from bad drivers and traffic jams to road construction and restrictions. We’ve all had our fair share of road rage — whether we’ve been a victim of an angry driver or we’ve experienced road rage ourselves.
