I had a trucking school teacher say, “I’ll tell you a statistic. They expect you to crash before your first year ends.” Be afraid and be cautious. Don’t treat your truck like you can just get a new one. Don’t follow too close. And during winter, drive slow on ice.

Be patient. Patience is key. Don’t ever get in a hurry to do anything.
