Nearly every person in the industrialized nations has an opinion about trucks and the men and women who drive them. Some good, some bad and many just plain indifferent. The truth is that a nation cannot become industrialized without an efficient transportation system and unless you are willing to put up with having railroad tracks to every store in town, trucks are by far the most efficient means possible.

The types of men and women who drive trucks are as varied as the stars. They come from every conceivable corner of the world. Their educations, social and economic backgrounds, individual ideas and political as well as religious beliefs are as varied as the scenery they drive through.

They all have different reasons for the career choices they've made but when you get right down to it, they just want to live a decent life and provide for their families the best they can.

The Trucker's Page began in 1994. At the time Keith A. Hamblin was a truck driver and also moonlighted as a free-lance writer for Utah Fishing and Outdoors Magazine as well as various newspapers. Originally this site was called the Fishing Hole and was built to entertain as well as confront some of the issues facing outdoor sportsman in Utah and the surrounding states.

In October of 1994 Keith became upset when he saw yet another news report which, like most mainstream media reports on transportation, depicted truckers in a less-than-favorable light. In response to that he wrote a short essay that told his and many other truck drivers' feelings on the life and what it meant. You can read that essay by clicking here.

That essay became very popular in a very short time so Keith began searching the web for other trucking related sites. What he found was dismal at best. The major search engines listed less than 50 trucking related sites and the majority of them were ad pages for specific companies. A fair share of them were not trucking related at all but rather monster truck events or pickup truck sales.

The Fishing Hole became The Trucker's Page in October of 1995 and has undergone many changes since then. We only hope that at least most of those changes have been for the better.

Whether you are involved in the trucking industry or not we hope you will take a few minutes to look around and let us know what you think. Even if you don't give us a visit we hope you will remember that everything you own, your clothes, your food, the grass seed for your lawn, the shingles for your roof and the computer you are looking at right now, came to your house or market by way of a truck.

All contents of this site are clean and child safe. We promise to keep it that way.
