Nobody’s born knowing this stuff, it’s all learned on the move

Start with the basics: map out your route, check the weather, and always have a Plan B

Just keep asking questions and learning from your mistakes. You’ll get the hang of it eventually.

Don’t worry, trip planning is a skill that takes time and practice. Your trainer is probably just frustrated because he’s been doing it for so long and forgot how hard it was at first.

I rely on my dispatcher to give me the best route and directions for my trips.

I use a combination of a trucker’s atlas, a GPS device, and online tools like Google Maps and Trucker Path to plan my trips. I always check the weather, traffic, road conditions, and hours of service before I start driving. I also look for places to park, fuel, eat, and rest along the way.
