Shawn Gresham has nearly 20 years of experience in trucking. Making quite the comeback story he served some time, but trucking changed his life.

He didn't like the way drivers had to come into this industry and essentially his life's work has come to fruition within the past year. He recently build a CDL school with the help of other drivers, including equipment from a driver he once trained!

Beyond the CDL school he has developed a 100% free website called truckinglifewithshawn.com that offers drivers a GPS, route planning, daily diesel updates, truck parking, education and more.
