After three decades behind the wheel and managing my own trucks, I thought I’d seen it all. I’d navigated every roadside inspection, filed countless IFTA reports at 2 AM, and learned the hard way what happens when you miss a UCR deadline.

A fellow trucker had his authority revoked due to not properly filling with the correct factoring company.

That’s when I realized something: the trucking industry is filled with great drivers who are expected to be compliance experts, business managers, and financial analysts – all without any real training.

I’d spent 30 years figuring out the hard way what works and what doesn’t. I’d made the expensive mistakes, so I knew how to avoid them. I’d learned which “industry experts” were trying to sell you something you didn’t need, and which strategies actually put money back in your pocket.
