Episode #074:In this episode our duo gets down to business right off the bat! What is happening to our jokesters? They have once again shown that in addition to handing out laughter and information they can really do a great interview.They are talking with Steve Strong, the V.P. of Admissions at the Southwest Truck Driver Training School. Of course, they did begin with a bit of laughter, we have come to expect that of them. Steve hits right back with the puns in his answers and it is such an easy interview that you will be drawn right in!Our hosts came prepared for the interview with questions that will help those that may be interested in becoming a truck driver. The conversation goes from challenges in career schools and how twenty or so years ago this type of school was getting a bad reputation. This was despite how two- and four-year colleges did not teach things like truck driving, electrical, heating and air conditioning, and such. Steve goes on to explain how these schools have changed over the years and have a much-needed place in our world.These types of schools fill a gap in training for those that do not want a career that was being offered in a two- or four-year college. And a career that can be taught quickly has advantages when the economy goes up and down.From there they go on to discuss the distinct types of trucking schools. Yes, there are several types, some are company owned, hiring for their company. Others are independent like Southwest; they train independently of any trucking company. So, drivers can choose the company they want to apply with.They go on to discuss what S.W.T.D.T. has to offer. The types of packages, the costs, hours, their incredible staff, and programs too. So, the bottom line is, this is such an informative, yet lively conversation. Everyone, whether you are looking to go to school to be a driver or not, will find it fun and informative. Because it will help guide you no matter what type of future you are looking for, Steve gives you general guidance to look for in your future. A good, friendly, honest company.Oh, and if you have the chance, you should see that lobby in the Phoenix campus along with the friendly atmosphere. This was a sheer pleasure to watch and listen to!Full podcast show notes available here: https://www.18wheeltalk.com/e74  Omalight Flashlight Military-grade aluminum alloy as the body material.

Truck driver training has always been done as quickly and inexpensively as possible. Unfortunately this often makes for inadequate training and a frustrating, exhausting experience for new drivers. So why is it done this way? We'll take a look at how training is done, why it's this way, and what you can expect as a new driver.

Reports are showing that there is currently a truck driver shortage of 20,000 drivers in the United States, with that figure growing to 114,000 by the year 2014. What is the real truth behind the truck driver shortage? 72,000 drivers lost their jobs in 2008 alone, yet presently they cannot fill 20,000 positions? Open discussion on the real facts about the driver shortage myth. Other topics will include problems with the current state of truck driver training and opening the Mexican border.

Does the trucking industry have the morals and ethics it takes to correct the problems with truck driver training? Will the industry step up and stop the harassment and abuse of female CDL trainees? Donna Smith hosts with special guest, Trucker Desiree to discuss solutions to the truck driving training practices. Trucker Desiree had a major role in the first Dan Rather Reports TV show, " Queen of the Road" which sent the trucking industry rocking.
