    My first night on my own I was a nervous wreck. I had been pretty chill throughout school and training, it looked liked I was comfortable enough until I had my first pick up, had to plan my route and find a place in an area I had no idea about and that was under heavy road work so the GPS and the map were useles. I got lost many times and did all the mistakes I could've made but I didn't hit anything and I still delivered on time (barely, by about 10 minutes) but the feeling I got after that surviving that night was of pure confidence lol and it's been like that ever since

    I had 17 hrs of training driving commercial semi. I passed my road test got hired with a decent company. For sure my backing up was weak for the first week. Ever since Ive been doing things safe. Haven't had a problem.If I wasn't sure better to ask. Even that if a person doesn't feel comfortable going on the road asap. do a ride along with a few truckers.
