How to Pick a Side Hustle That Won’t Waste Your Miles In 15 minutes, you’ll know exactly which type of online business is best for you (and which ones to ignore). The Pain & The Shift I remember sitting in my cab at a truck stop, phone in hand, buying course after course. YouTube videos playing, promises everywhere. And still—I was stuck. Overwhelmed. Lost. Tired of the grind on the road and no closer to a way out. I saw others doing it successfully... So I researched for months and months. OMG, so many ideas, how to choose one was my new problem. What do I do to even start? It took me a long time to jump in fully. I dabbled in 25 different directions. It's impossible to work on 2 or 3 side hustles at the same time and win. I had to choose ONE to focus on for 12 months. That was when I was able to get good at writing, good at talking to my audience and finding out what they wanted most. Then I built it. One tiny website. One email list. One primary focus. Helping them get what they wanted. For awhile, you'll make little money, but as you talk to people and actually get them some tiny wins, they create your business for you. They tell you their main problems and where they get stuck. You can then just create the product/service/coaching they want to pay to learn or do something specific. Now when I worked on getting traffic I knew who I was talking to and where I was leading them. Here’s the truth: Most truckers fail online because they never pick one lane. They’re dabbling in 6 hustles at once. Let’s fix that in the next 15 minutes.

10 Skills Every Trucker Can Cash In On You probably don’t realize just how many skills you’ve got. I sure didn’t at first. When you’ve been out on the road for years, things that feel “normal” to you—like fixing a flat on the shoulder in the rain, planning the fastest route around traffic, or dealing with grumpy dock workers—are basically superpowers to people who’ve never done it. And here’s the cool part: those skills aren’t just for trucking. They’re valuable out in the real world too. Folks will happily hand you cash for stuff you already know how to do. No new degree, no big startup money. Just taking what you’ve got and flipping it into a side gig. I’ve done it myself. I’ve started a bunch of little gigs with my own skills—computer skills, research and writing skills. Heck, even organizing and meal planning for the road turned out to be a skill people would pay for. Point is, if I can do it, so can you. 10 Trucking Skills That Sell 1. Route Planning- You’ve dodged low bridges and squeezed fuel mileage out of thin air. Retirees with RVs? They’ll pay you to plan their trips. 2. Fix-It Know-How - You’ve patched hoses and changed tires in worse spots than AAA ever dreamed of. That’s a mobile repair gig waiting to happen. 3. Safety & Compliance- You’ve lived the logbook grind. New drivers will pay to learn what you already know about inspections and rules. 4. Time Management- Running tight deadlines is second nature. Turn it into productivity coaching or even remote dispatching. 5. Driving Skills- If you can back a 53-footer into a dark dock, teaching someone to park their RV is child’s play—and worth money. 6. Road Knowledge- You know the highways, shortcuts, and truck stops by heart. Sell that as custom travel planning. 7. Problem Solving- You’ve figured out how to keep moving when everything breaks. Package that as handyman work or even survival training. 8. People Skills- Dispatchers, receivers, truck stop life—you’ve learned to handle all kinds. That’s gold in customer service or negotiation gigs.
