Trucking: Good morning! My name is Rob..., researching careers, transport truck

Question
Good morning! My name is Rob and I go to Cass City Middle School in Michigan. We are researching careers in my class. I think I would like to be a truck driver some day. Could you answer the following questions? What classes should I take in high school? What kinds of activities should I do in high school? I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. You can email me at lvolz@casscity.k12.mi.us. Thank you so much for your time.  

Answer
Hi Rob, I had the same desire when I was in school. I wrote a school paper " Transport Truck Driver" in which I outlined how important trucks are in our daily lives. They bring us everything.
You asked about classes you should take. I suggest Math.,English, and other College prep cources.
If at all possible plan to attend a college. You will benefit very much having a college education. There are lots of jobs in Trucking besides driving that will require a college degree.  
As far as activities, just get exercise, eat health and build up you body.  Even truck driving is hard work sometimes.  Good luck to you .  Study hard in school.
Remember, with God's help, you can be anything you want to be.   JLong2500@aol.com
