5 Things I Wish I knew Before Becoming a Truck Driver

Trucking changes your life — in the best and toughest ways. If I could go back, I’d tell my rookie self a few things: it’s not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. Sleep schedules, patience, and self-discipline matter more than horsepower.

You’ll learn to handle stress, distance, and time management. But you’ll also gain freedom, pride, and friendships that last for years.

This blog — and Jakes & Brakes on YouTube — are here to share lessons like these so new drivers can start smarter, safer, and stronger.


Road Logic is an independent trucking information platform focused on safety, compliance, enforcement, and accountability.

We are not a breaking-news outlet, a review site, or an opinion channel. Road Logic exists to explain how trucking systems actually work — what the rules say, how they’re enforced, where they fail, and what that means for drivers, trainers, and carriers.

In an industry flooded with headlines, speculation, and misinformation, Road Logic prioritizes clarity over speed and accuracy over clicks.
