Community Member Testimonials

“I’ve been in this business a lot of years, and I’m still learning something new every week,” one owner/operator said, after having been on board for a number of the workshops. The workshop is taped as it occurs, which puts current, real-world solutions for problems in each In-Cab Education™ Workshop. Professional experienced trucking company owners contribute to the brainstorming and share hands-on answers.

J. Kane—Owner/Operator

“I’m glad our trucking management trainee has found you. I don’t mind investing in The Trucking Business Community; I think it can augment our business very nicely. He needed to hear it from someone who speaks his language. Corporate executives, like myself, have a different language than a trucker; because of this I was speaking the wrong language to him. He can really relate to the trucking side; he’s very talented and bright, but he didn’t understand the business side of it. This is where we were coming at odds. You have to understand the business side before you can be a success. He knows how to drive, how to operate the equipment and get it from point A to point B, which is extremely important. But in order to make it a successful company, he’s got to have that business grasp. And that’s the bridge which you and  The Trucking Business Community provide.”

S. Nix-Willey, CEO—Claude H. Nix Construction

“Since we started with the The Trucking Business Community the communication part with our drivers has made a difference. It’s gotten everyone settled. We hired a dispatcher so I could concentrate on other activities, like finding customers. But our drivers wouldn’t talk to the new dispatcher; whether they stubbed a toe, had a flat tire or their load number was bad, they had to talk to me. Tim and The Trucking Business Community helped us work through it so the drivers now call our dispatcher. The Trucking Business Community and Tim have become very valuable to us, as it has freed me up to grow our business. In the past year we’ve almost doubled our fleet, when most trucking companies are cutting back.”

J. Hayes, President—Hayes Concrete and Trucking

It's a means to get information and knowledge to the trucker or small motor carrier owner where he lives and works--the cab of his truck, his office, or even the sofa at home.

The problem is the majority of OTR truckers spend 24/7 attached to their trucks or trucking companies. When they finally get home, or have a day away from the office grind, the last activity they might be interested in is a workshop or seminar.

In-Cab Education solves this dilemma by bringing truckers and small motor carrier owners a way to learn while they earn. Truckers have a large amount of lost time while on the road: time spent while the next load is found, wasted while sitting on a shower list, waiting for a shipper/receiver to load or unload a trailer, or hours of sitting because of HOS rules; the list goes on and on. In-Cab Education allows truckers to take advantage of these waiting periods to increase knowledge and skills within their chosen lifestyle and career.

Each one-hour Fast & Furious Problem Solving Session on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month will be hosted by Tim Brady, Business Editor for American Trucker Magazine, small business coach and trucking business expert on national satellite radio.

It’s a fast and furious hour:

• A challenge confronting TBC members' trucking businesses presented by Tim Brady as the discussion topic for the hour.

• Participants hammer out solutions for the topic over the next 40 to 45 minutes.

• The session is recorded and posted on the member networking website as a forum to continue discussing solutions and  recommendations on the challenge over the next two weeks.

• This provides access and participation for all members whether they are able to attend the live session or not.

• The bottom line is each participant will take away solutions and strategies for dealing with small motor carriers’ most pressing problems.

It’s going to be a no-holds-barred and solutions-driven!

Small motor carrier owners can't afford to be away from their businesses for two or three days to attend multiple workshops and classes. In-Cab Education provides these entrepreneurs the means to learn business techniques which they can apply immediately to their operations from their computer.

In fact, many Trucking Business Community members who participate in our In-Cab Education continue doing their job while going to class. We have had individuals who fueled; picked up a shipment, delivered or dispatched a load, all while taking a workshop via teleconference. Most classes are recorded and important chapters are posted on our Trucking Business Community member-networking website to be listened to at a more convenient time.

Another advantage of participating in the In-Cab Education program at the Trucking Business Community at TruckersU.com is that you are provided information in small doses, from twenty minutes for audio downloads to two hours for the typical live In-Cab Education workshop via your telephone. According to Dr. James T. Frakes, Director of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center at Dyersburg State Community College, this is a much better learning environment for the small business entrepreneur. Many daylong workshops use the ‘fire-hose’ approach to providing floods of information, whereas the In-Cab Education method provides information and knowledge in digestible sips. The typical day seminar/workshop costs range from $750 up, plus transportation to the city where it is being held, hotel costs and loss of revenue from being either out of your freight lane or out of the office for an extended period of time. Being out of your lane or office could cost you thousands of dollars in lost revenue.

An additional gain with numerous benefits is from the long-term, established business network you put together with other truckers and small motor carriers across the country. Your membership in the Trucking Business Community at TruckersU.com becomes an invaluable tool by providing you the knowledge needed to succeed and the resources to grow. Annual membership fee? Only $100.         If you add up the costs of one full-day workshop, transportation, hotel, and your lost revenue, and compare that figure with an annual membership in the Trucking Business Community, the savings -- your savings -- are substantial. Here's an example of more savings. By listening and participating in just the Fast & Furious Problem Solving Sessions™ biweekly, plus continue to participate in the online forum discusion, you'll accrue hours of instruction and discussion in 12 months, increasing your trucking business knowledge tremendously. all this without ever leaving your office or truck. Another benefit many Trucking Business Community members say they receive is the opportunity to stay informed on what's going on in the rest of the industry and to refocus on their businesses each week. Your $100 becomes an investment with an immediate and profitable return, something hard to find in today's business environment.

Join us today, and start planning your success for tomorrow.
