Education Podcasts

The OTR Academy was founded to help new long haul truck drivers overcome career threatening challenges facing most new CDL holders. We’re here to help you get your Over-the-Road career off to a strong promising start. CDL STEVE’S BIO: Steve Fowler, aka CDL Steve, is an active long haul truck driver and published author who has seen dozens of new drivers struggle and leave the trucking industry within that critical first 3-year window. Steve firmly believes those who reach that 3-year anniversary are more likely to enjoy a great career, stable employment, a good income, and perhaps own their own truck/trucking company one day; as you experience the fullness of North America. Over-the-Road truck drivers are the lifeblood of North American commerce. Steve’s personal goal is to leverage this podcast to help reduce driver attrition; thereby playing his part in feeding the economic engine powering economy. He believes, through the efforts of the OTR Academy, more well-trained and much-needed commercial drivers will operate big rigs across the North American landscape.Steve’s passion, interests, and desire to continually learn and share is powerful and contagious; available to all subscribers on the OTR Academy podcast. The OTR Academy wishes to acknowledge and offer appreciation to Vitaliy Levkin of Lemon Music Studios for the fantastic whistling OTR Academy theme, and to Pixabay, for the sound effects. Thank you!
