Considering Getting Ready 2 Get My CDL

Hey ya'll. My name is Missy Originally from Vermont, but moved to Nashville. My brother got his cdl recently, and is working for a towing company. I have gotten to ride in the big trucks with him as well as one of his co-workers. BTW being in a truck for 16 hrs straight isnt as bad as i thought it would be. Anyway i have been listening to some current and former truck drivers that are in my life. I have been asking for the pros and cons of a trucking career.


So lemme here it.

 

Thanks The trucking company he works for does business with a generator company so we had to run from nashville tn to dayton tn and then to smyrna tn and then to antioch tn and finally back to nashville. It was a lot of fun. the driver i was with shared a lot of stories with me. The worst part was going threw the appalacian mtns. Up and around a lot of curves then down and around a lot of curves. we came up on a car on their hood. scary stuff in the mtns.

 

Thanks. I actually started reading the topic about jake brakes. I also just talked to the guy that i road with the other day to dayton and he said he is seriously considering going back on the road and asked if i wanted to go with. I said yes of course! Time will only tell now.

 

I understand Class B. My brother has his class A. i have no idea what t/t is. What my brother did to get his was study his book and practice with one of the c class towtrucks (the ones that pull ya'll when ur trucks break down) and learned that way and took his test. So i guess im not sure. guess its good i have about two and a half years till i turn 21

 

They can't put me on their insurance until im 21 period. So that i have this straight 21 is the age u have to be to get a CDL right?

also what is the difference between a class a and b
