    The Spirit Of The American Trucker – May 2012

    Most truckers are real people – not Hollywood stereotypes!  Real life is not like the movies – there is no magical “cut” when that under-inflated tire is about to blow and no “CGI” effects when it explodes and takes out your fender.  Problems like this can unexpectedly hit you at any time, but what can you do?  As a professional trucker, these setbacks just come with the job sometimes.  But keeping mechanical problems at bay is important so you can focus on your work ethic and building proper business relationships so that one day you will be able to own and drive a real show-worthy working truck (like the one seen here), which is better than any fake TV show rig could ever be.  Always reach for the stars, but stay firmly-grounded, as well.
