29-Year Trucking Veteran Reveals Common Scams Used by Truck Driving Schools and Trucking Companies
Dunnellon, Fl (PRWEB) April 21, 2008 -- 29 Year Trucking Industry veteran, Aubrey "Allen" Smith comes to the aid of truck driving students and new CDL (commercial driver license) drivers by relentlessly exposing the scams within the trucking industry.
Trucking can be a lucrative and ideal profession for the right individuals, but the industry is far from perfect. It is home to a lot of shady or marginally ethical practices used by many truck driving schools and trucking companies. Allen Smith is taking on the role of "whistle blower". With 29+ years in the industry, he's all too familiar with the scams and pitfalls. Allen is the original author of "The Truth About Trucking" which can be viewed at http://www.TruthAboutTrucking.com
Allen, a Dunnellon based trucker, has set his goals to help CDL Truck Driving students and new drivers, preventing them from significant money loss and years of frustration. He has published numerous articles which can be found online as a supplement to his book, "The Truth About Trucking" These materials, along with his interactive AskTheTrucker.com blog, allows him to provide clarification on what to really look for when getting started as a truck driver, including the types of schools one should investigate for their truck driver training., and the best types of companies to pursue for a successful career.
As explained in Allen's book, many of the trucking companies themselves are the "villain" in both aspects as they have their own CDL truck driving schools costing thousands of dollars, and upon completion of the program, hire the graduates, (who have signed a contract to drive for 12-24 months) only to exploit the students post training obligations. Upon graduation, the newly trained CDL drivers are expected to drive for weeks at a time at an extremely low CPM( cents per mile), while also repaying the company back for their training.
Allen creates an awareness to new CDL drivers about trucking companies hiring drivers. Again, recruiters will paint a glorious picture about the company, only to leave the drivers exhausted, disappointed, and emotionally and financially depleted. He creates this awareness by exposing the types of scams, creating red flags to watch out for in the potential employees mind
Allen's book and articles are honest and straight forward, describing trucking life in the most realistic description possible, as only a trucker for 29 years can do. Another one of his goals is to allow those investigating trucking as a career to see it for what it is, not the candy coated picture that most recruiters attempt to portray truck driving to be. Allen offers 3 valuable Free PDF reports which can be easily obtained for students and drivers desiring this information: http://www.truthabouttrucking.com/free-reports.html
The passionate desire to see his readers succeed within their trucking career is felt on a personal level by his followers. Many of Allen's readers write him messages on a weekly basis, displaying their support and encouragement for his cause.
