Trucker in Transition

Trucker in Transition was created to help truck drivers looking for advice, direction and ideas on transitioning out of, into and throughout the “trucking lifestyle” and industry.

My name is Ezell. I have been a professional truck driver for more than 15 years. I have hauled dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, tankers, containers, You Name It! I started out as a company driver, then a lease purchase driver, then obtained my own operating authority. I did very well then cashed out and sold everything to pursue my dream of becoming a chef!

But when you think your out, they pull you back in! After completing culinary school I soon realized that working as a professional chef was not going to allow me to bring home the type of bacon my family and I were accustomed to.

Even though bacon is delicious, we could not get over the sour taste left in our mouths by the sudden and drastic change of our household income. In other words we want our bacon and eat it too!

Our goal at Trucker in Transition is to be completely transparent on our experiences in the trucking industry. We strive to give all professional drivers a platform where everyone can respectfully share their own experiences, opinions and questions about the “trucking lifestyle” and industry.
