Jim Purcell, Trucker and Creator of Trucking Made Easy
Let Me Show You How to Get on the Right Road to Becoming a Trucker AND How to Enjoy Immediate Trucking Success... Without All the BS!
You probably already know that trucking can be an amazing career, where you can (potentially)...
MAKE GREAT MONEY!
(You can realistically make between $30-60K+ your 1st Year)
SEE THE WORLD!
(Well, you'll get to see much of America, anyway)
BE YOUR OWN BOSS!
(Or, at least you won't have one looking over your shoulder)
Well, that's all possible, IF ...
- IF you know exactly what you're getting into before getting started. (Having a good understanding of the big world of trucking is a must before running headlong into it!)
- IF you select a high-quality truck driving school and CDL training . (There are literally THOUSANDS of truck driving schools and they're definitely NOT all high-quality!)
- IF you find a trucking company to drive for that matches your vision and goals. (Reliable and Stable. Honest communication. Fair routes, pay, benefits, etc. Finding a company like this is NO easy task!)
- IF you continue to learn trucking and improve as a truck driver as you gain experience. (The training isn't finished just because you finished school or did your time with a driver-trainer.)

Top FAQs About Trucking Made Easy
Sorry, no ships are used in delivering Trucking Made Easy to you.
Seriously though, it’ll take no time at all! It’s an instantly downloadable digital eSeries so you can have it on your computer, phone, or tablet just minutes after entering your payment details, so you can get started today! No waiting required!
OK, good question. First I have to mention my experience. Over 20 years in trucking, I ran up over 2 million miles without an accident.
That’s quite a bit, right? However, there are more than a few truckers out there with similar qualifications and experiences. So more importantly, it’s how I got started in trucking, along with the many challenges I experienced and problems I had to overcome, that qualifies me to write these guides and offer advice about “all things trucking.”
Truth is, if I would’ve stumbled upon a high-quality truck driving school in the beginning, and maybe started driving for a stable and honest trucking company, I might have never had first hand knowledge of the struggles new drivers were having. And I might’ve never created Trucking Made Easy!
Trucking Mastery is available as a separate product for current truckers who want to experience greater enjoyment and success in the trucking industry… the kind of success seen in far too few drivers out there.
Even when you’re just getting started in trucking, or even if you haven’t yet made the decision to become a trucker, one thing that can be the most helpful is seeing what it takes not only to become a trucker, but what it takes to become the BEST truck driver, one who experiences success at every level of trucking. The job and the life, making the most money you can, getting home as much as possible, enjoying your life while you’re out there driving, whether you’re a local driver or an over-the-road warrior who rarely sees home!
You’ll be better able to envision yourself as a professional truck driver, and more easily determine whether or not you could successfully see yourself living the trucking life.
If you’d still prefer to get started with just the Becoming a Trucker eSeries for beginners without Trucking Mastery, click here.
Seriously, I don’t think this will be the case. But if for some reason you feel that Trucking Made Easy is not what you expected, or somehow it’s just not worth the investment, no worries. Let me know and I’ll immediately issue you a complete refund.
