Welcome to
Trucking Made Easy!
I'm Jim Purcell
I became a trucker in 1992 and have driven over 2 million miles. I started writing TME while driving long haul in 2002. What began as scribbled notes about what drivers could do to be more efficient on the road, turned into a series of books that cover virtually every aspect of truck driving, including mastering trucking as a job and way of life.
I’m also the creator of Trucker Country, a website of resources for future and current truck drivers. Go to the CDL Practice Test Center if you need some help getting your CDL or passing a CDL endorsement test. This is a FREE resource for all visitors!
When I first got into trucking, back in 1992, I didn’t know a thing about trucking. After seeing a newspaper ad from a trucking company offering to train even inexperienced drivers and help them get their CDL, I figured…
Why not give it a shot? I needed a change of pace from the same old 9 to 5 routine, and trucking sure seemed to fit that bill!
I’d soon be on the road, thoroughly trained and prepared to make a lot of money, and successfully living the trucking life. Right?
Boy, was I wrong. I had no idea of what I was getting into, or even a clue of how to get there. The training I received at that truck driving school (one sponsored by a very well-known trucking company) left me poorly trained and totally unprepared to have any chance of success in the big world of trucking.
I had to learn trucking the hard way. That is, I learned by trial and error. In fact, this took years.
So now, after many years (and heartaches, headaches, and troubles) and well over 2 million miles later, I can humbly say I know a lot about the world of trucking, how to become a successful driver, and how to get the most out of the trucking life.
More importantly, I can show YOU how to do the same, without the years-long learning curve.
