"There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than a tenth-rate executive.”

B.C. Forbes, Founder of Forbes magazine

Here at Getloaded, we are committed to helping transportation professionals find freight by serving as the industry’s leading online load board. We also believe the only way to stay on top of the industry is to truly know the people we are serving. After years on the road and countless miles, we’d be willing to bet you have some unique and timeless stories under your belt. Now, we want to share them.

Welcome to Road Stories, a new monthly blog where we’ll profile one member each month and share the funny, inspiring, scary, insightful or otherwise interesting experiences you’ve had while trucking freight.

No Road Story is too big or small — we want to hear them all:

• What’s the craziest/funniest/scariest/most ridiculous thing you’ve seen someone do while driving a car?
• When do you most enjoy being a driver?
• Have you witnessed or participated in heroic actions that you think other people should know about?
• What misconceptions about your profession would you like to clear up?
• Have you ever saved someone’s life?
• How has the industry changed since your career began?

The first installment of Road Stories will be coming mid-June, and you could be the first driver profiled. So, do you have great stories? Even better, have great stories AND great pictures? Want to be profiled? Send me an email at blogs@getloaded.com.
