When I graduated from college, one of the first things I did was research jobs in the local market to see how much money I could make. If you're graduating from trucking school, you're probably doing the same thing. Or, maybe you're thinking about truck driver pay before you've even enrolled in trucking school.

Is ATS the next place your truck is going to stop? How do you know it’s the right company for you? Going to a new trucking company can be nerve-wracking for any driver — whether you feel scorned by your last trucking and you’re hoping this next one will be better or you just felt like a change. While no trucking company is perfect — and there's probably something you'll dislike at every company you go to — you want to find a company that can, at the very least, meet your needs.

So you’ve decided you want to be a truck driver: What’s the next step? How do you earn your Class A commercial driver’s license (CDL)? What trucking school should you go to?

Don’t have an auxiliary power unit (APU) in your truck? Have one but it’s not working? Or maybe it’s just so hot out that it’s not cutting it? With summer in full swing, you’re probably feeling the heat — especially if you’re traveling in the deep south where the heat and humidity can feel thick. Plus, 2024 is set to be one of the hottest summers on record.

Are you a new driver eager to dive into the world of flatbed hauling but feeling unsure or anxious about where to start? You’re not alone. Transitioning from standard freight to flatbeds can be intimidating, with concerns about securement training, equipment handling, and finding the right company to kickstart your flatbed career.

Whether you’ve never leased before or you’ve leased multiple times, getting into a lease-purchase agreement with a trucking carrier can be an overwhelming process. Unlike with a company driver position, you’re responsible for your truck payments, maintenance costs, insurance costs and sometimes other fees the carrier doesn’t take care of like permits and trailer rentals. This can be intimidating in a world where everything. just. costs. so. much.
