      Getting to submit a series of questions to a trucker with a million miles under his belt is a great privilege. I had a chance to do just that this past week. Read on and get the feel of what a career in truck driving is really like.Q: Tell me about yourself, Mark.<br>A: I'm 43. I graduated in 2000 from Roadmaster Drivers School, and went to work for Werner. They treated me so well I stayed. I love to travel and see the country.Q: What was training like for you and would you recommend professional training to those interested in the trucking industry?<br>A: Yes, absolutely, they cover all the basics.
