Who says I have to go to driving school?

Have you ever heard the term...strike three you're out....with 3 preventables, and the 3 terminations are probably related to the preventables, you are going to be hard pressed to find the driving job with anything but a small local company. Maybe dirt hauling or the garbage company, but with the 2+ years out of the trucks this poses another issue.

sorry for the truth, I am sure it is not what you wanted to hear.

 

ya there is a fasttrack called swift ,england,etc.........they will teach you just enough to hold the wheel all in all if you look at how long it takes to go through school and get behind the wheel it is pretty quick to quick if ya ask me

 

that is a good thing I have seen way to many that get a couple months under the belt and think they have it all figured out
As being ####y can get you killed being inattentive can get you killed as well as the random bad day can get ya killed
so a healthy respect is a very good thing

 

A regular semi is not an LCV which is all part 380 applies to .

 

Really?
just go to school and get the training you need. My post was only meant to say there used to be ways around driving school. Still may be as I did not go to driving school. I'm a good professional driver but truck driving is not that hard. even when I started I didn't think it was that hard. The lifestyle is what seemed hardest to me. The mechanics of truck driving are not that hard.
There are many drivers out there on the road that never went to any driving school and they are good professional drivers. in fact they are probably the best drivers as they are old school (no pun intendedl and show more courtesy on the road than the young skulls coming out now.
I know what the FMCSRs say but that's not what I'm talking about.
Therefore I'm not getting into any debate about them.

 

Please provide a link to the Fed. Legislation, this has intrigued me in all the wrong ways. I would like to research this further.

Thanks in advance.
