Man, it felt like a ton was lifted off my shoulders. The next guy went and failed the road test because he ran a stop sign. The third guy passed and then the next three failed. Two out of six passed and all the failures were for either running a stop sign, red light, over a curb and the last one cut the final corner too close coming back into the yard and put the trailer down in the ditch. It didn’t hurt the truck or trailer, but he failed him for it. I am by no means an expert, but I am ready for the real training to begin. I go to Cincinnati next Sunday and start orientation for Boyd Bros the following Monday. That is when the real training will begin.
Any luck with Boyd Brothers? I just started driving 4 months ago and they were my runner up company. Would like to hear what you think of them!

I ended up going with Roehl instead of Boyd Bros. I am in my fourth day of driving. I like it so far. We went from Atlanta to Akron OH on my first load.

Congrats man!! I just got mine in January.Youll be training and I hope you get a good one.But dont make the mistake I made.I figured my trainer would....well,train me.Each day I thought..."Is he going to teach me anything?"....Nope.So if you find that youre not learning...ASK!! A lot of trainers just want a warm body to get them miles.
Good luck.
