What is The Trucking Business Community
at TruckersU.com
&
In-Cab Education™? |
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 would 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.
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 proves these entrepreneurs the means to learn business
techniques, which they can apply immediately to their operations from
their office desk and 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 thousand of dollars in lost
revenue.
An
additional gain is from the long-tem, established business network you are
able to put together with other truckers and small motor carriers across
the country. The benefits are too numerous to list here. Your membership
to the Trucking Business Community at TruckersU.com becomes an invaluable
tool by providing you the knowledge needed to succeed and the resources to
grow. For a annual membership fee of $400, which, after adding up the
costs of full day workshop, transportation, hotel, and your lost revenue,
the savings are substantial, potentially 90% or more.
By participating in our
weekly Saturday In-Cab Education workshops, totaling between 40 to 45 two
hour teleworkshops per year equaling over 80 hours of instruction and
discussion in 12 months increasing its value tremendously. 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 $400 becomes
an investment with an immediate and profitable return. Something which is
hard to find in today's business environment.
Join
us today, and start planning your success for tomorrow.

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.”—

Truckers can’t jump from their cabs
and go find an expert every time they need answers to trucking business
problems.
However, a new series of audio CDs
puts truckers’ business problems on ice – or I.C.E. In response to many
requests from truckers, the
In-Cab Education™ Workshops are now
being released on audio CD. Buying a specialized CD puts experts from many
areas of the trucking business right into the truck cab with the driver.
I.C.E. Workshops have been taught –
and enthusiastically received – since April of this year, via a phone
conference bridge which brings audio education right to the trucker’s cell
phone, no matter what area of the country the truck is currently
traveling. Hosted by Tim Brady, Sirius Satellite Road Dog
Trucking Radio's Trucking Business Expert, he begins each
workshop with a white paper report on that evening’s topic. Then workshop
participants join a round-table discussion approach to solving that
particular trucking business problem.
“I’ve been in this business a lot of
years, and I’m still learning something new every week,” one trucker 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
onto each I.C.E. audio CD as the truckers contribute to the brainstorming
session.
The In-Cab Education™Audio Workshop CDs
are edited and mastered by S & E Productions of Franklin, TN, thus ensuring
sound quality and subject focus. The CDs are copyrighted by Write Up The
Road Publishing, home of Brady’s top-selling trucking business books.
