From 11:30am to 1:00pm I will be representing the ATBS program from the TST / Power to Drive booth in hall 5. Make sure stop by and say hello if you’re roaming around.

Attending Truckworld

For those of you in the Toronto, Ontario area this week the buzz is about the industry show named Truckworld. This show alternates between Tornot and Montreal and is an industry renowned event. Think of this when attending and you should attend if you can, but why are you attending? Is it to find out the latest components for trucks, is it to network with industry professionals? When attending events such as this think about what you hope to achieve before you get there, that way you’re not walking around blindly hoping something will catch you eye. I will be down there on Thursday so if you are there please make sure you come by and say hello. I’ll be at the ATBS booth and Infinit-i booth.

See you there,

Bruce

How much do you investigate your industry?

As I was sitting in a Power To Drive seminar on Tuesday I got to thinking how many of drivers actually keep informed on what is going on in their industry. Do you read the trades on a regular basis? Being on the road it is hard to attend seminars and such, but that doesn’t mean you work in the industry with a blind eye. I know you talk with other drivers, well we all know where that will get you so watch yourself. For instance did you know CSA was being delayed to next year? Do you know what CSA 2010 is? By keeping abreast of developements in your industry you will make smarter career choices and come out a winner.

Talk to you soon,

Bruce

Life is more than just cash

This is so true and most people miss the boat on this one. I agree we all want to make money, but to sacrifice your health, family, or other personal treasures is really crazy. I have spoken to so many drivers in my career that spend all their time running aimlessly up and down road with no thought as to whether they are making money, hurting their family or worse. It’s one thing to pay the rent, it’s another to miss on life. If you are one of those without any planning take some thought as to whether driving that 500 mile load is worth your time. Put a rate on your time and you may find you enjoy life more and know here you’re going in your trucking career.

Safe driving,

Bruce
