About this episode
Truckers Hall of Fame. Truck drivers now have a place they can strive to be a part of. A part of History if you will. A truck driver can now make it into the Truckers Hall of Fame. Recently we picked up on a story that covered a driver making it into the IFDA (International Food Distributors Association) Hall of Fame. In order to qualify, a driver must have 25 verified years behind the wheel of a big rig. Must have been part of a qualified trucking company that is part of IFDA and have all safe driving miles. Truckers Hall of Fame Strangers training others wives Many women attempting to get their CDL are running into road blocks. One of those roadblocks are their very own husbands. In most cases a female trainee is faced with the fact that most carriers are limited on their female trainers. In most cases a women will have to be trained by a man and most likely a man she does not know. Husbands are faced with allowing they're wives to be alone sleeping and partnered up with a man they will never trust. Two to three weeks out on the road night after night with the opposite sex is too much for most husbands and thats where it ends before it starts. One little trick which can happen is this. If a male driver starts ahead of his wife as a driver at. a particular company, does through the "train the trainer" program. He then has a better chance at being his spouses trainer. This is not a guarantee but there are carriers that will allow this once they know the husband has been trained by them to be a trainer. https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/business/aroundregion/story/2018/dec/02/chattanoogtrucking-museum-open-downtownfreigh/484012/https://www.truckersnews.com/driver-honored-for-26-years-2-5-million-miles/Is Trucking Getting BetterTrucking Stuff with TalKCDLTrucking Quaaludes & RiotersTrucking News its all about TruckersTrucking Stats and Those Governing Truckers TalkCDL Interviews We are always on the hunt for someone to interview on the podcast.
