Welcome to Trucker Talk – this is the spot for real-world trucking conversation, questions, tips, and stories from the road.
Welcome message
Welcome to Trucker Talk, the community space for drivers, owner-operators, and anyone who lives and breathes trucking.
Use this forum to swap advice, share experiences from the road, ask questions, and help other truckers navigate the job, the lifestyle, and the industry.
If you are new here, introduce yourself, tell us where you run (local, regional, OTR), what you drive, and what you’d like to learn or talk about.
Forum rules
Treat everyone with respect; disagreements are fine, personal attacks, harassment, or hate speech are not allowed.
Keep posts trucking-related (life on the road, dispatch, shippers, freight, gear, health on the road, etc.) and use clear titles so others can find your topic.
No spam, self-promotion, or advertising unless posted in areas the site specifically allows for that purpose.
Do not share private or sensitive information about yourself, your company, customers, or other drivers.
Follow all laws and company policies; do not encourage unsafe or illegal behavior (HOS cheating, DUI, tampering with equipment, etc.).
Keep language clean and avoid NSFW or graphic content; this is a professional space that many people browse at work or with family around.
If you see a problem (trolling, scams, rule-breaking), report the post instead of replying and escalating the situation.
Tips for new users
Start by reading a few existing threads to get a feel for the tone and common topics before you post.
When you ask a question, include useful details (experience level, region, equipment type) so other members can give better answers.
Jump into conversations, be helpful, and share your experience; communities grow stronger when members both ask and give help.
