Kathy did say that because I'm in Tx that the job would be with FFE. Apparently I wouldn't be able to go with KLLM.

The KLLM school is in Jackson MS. Its a huge terminal/campus. Been there once to drive an FFE tractor back to Lancaster that got fixed there.
My assumption is reason they did that was students go into the terminal area and talk to drivers over there. Then a lot of people want FFE. KLLM school in Jackson MS doesnt service FFE. Thats my guess anyway. My class a lot of people switched over by the end of driving school.Last edited: Jan 19, 2020
Coffey Thanks this. -
Download the Texas Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Handbook. Study Sections 1, 2, 3 and 14. Section 14 is not on the practice tests here or any other site that has Tx practice tests. Be very familiar with what is in Section 14. That test will be the one you are likely to fail as it is specific information, not common sense. The rest of them are similar to the practice tests.
Good luck. -

Another tricky part is you have to start getting the truck before your trailer is lined up straight with the parking spot. And you need to set up your back so you have enough room to get it straight.
Youll see what I mean when you start doing it. I hope you have a good trainer but mostly ita going to be you just practicing.
Spotters are nice to have but sometimes theyll give you directions you wont understand or theyll just tell you to do something that's just wrong. So use caution with spotters you don't know.WakeUpTheEchoes Thanks this. -

So if a driver comes out of school and gets hired on but isn’t real great yet at bucking up. Said driver goes through whatever training period with his/her new company, but still could use some more time learning to back up.
Is this where said driver should insist on more training time? If not, what happens when he/she is making a delivery and just can’t get the trailer into the spot it needs to be?
