<div class="bbWrapper">Wussup guys. I found this forum after reading &quot;Unscripted.&quot; I got the book because I am about to get my truck driver license and eventually plan to have a trucking business. After reading the book however, I think this maybe a scripted venture and am now beginning to question getting my CDL. Is going into trucking to find problems and solutions an unscripted venture?. Playing the field if you want to call it. What do you guys think?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">For anyone who thinks driving a CDL truck fills a need, or you want to get in a trucking business, there are changes coming by Feb. 2022 for CDL licenses.

<div class="bbWrapper">ANY business can become a &quot;unscripted&quot; venture - read the books again and again, you might have missed some things.<br /> <br /> Welcome to the forum.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Welcome to the forum! Trucking can absolutely become a Fastlane business. My brother-in-love has his CDL and was looking to get into the trucking certification/teaching business, but had to take a pause due to health issues. You can definitely make it Fastlane with a little ingenuity.</div>
