Hello, I start truck driving school on Monday the 10th and want to know what you guys did to prepare yourself for school? I was told by the school to just focus on the questions for the test to the written exam and not the written information. Would this be better than just reading up on the CDl manual? Any suggestions for what I should be studying before the school?

The school is right, memorize the questions and answers.
Also can study the "CDL Practice Tests" at the top of this page.

Thank you for your reply Chinatown. I have been studying the CDl from the trucking truth so far. I just feel by memorizing the questions and answers that the school would only teach me how to pass the test and not know the information that I need to be on the road.

Schools will typically just get you the Cdl and train you on testing for CDL both written and skills. Your real training will come in with your company with a Driver trainer.

Don't overthink it. Do what you have to do to get the cdl, then the learning starts with your first company. Take a look at KKW Trucking as a first company. There's plenty more to choose from, but they have a good training program for new grads. -

Best of luck to you! The questions on this site were extremely helpful for us. I passed all my endorsements the first try....
When you have your CDL you will know about 1% of what you need to know to do the job... Everything else comes through your first trainer and the first few years on the job. Cdl school doesn't even begin to address fueling, trip planning, driver safety... This list could go on forever! -
Thank you for your reply. I hear that you should have two years of on the road before getting any more endorsements. Do you think that is about right?
