How long did your trucking school last?

Mine was a four week program. 1st solid week was book learning, video watching, test taking and endorsement gaining.

 

Mine was 4 weeks classroom and on the road and range

 

How long does it take to say "here, it's your turn to drive!"

 

I got behind the wheel towards the end of my 2nd week, straight line backing.

 

I was behind the wheel the first day of class

 

18 weeks, 4 classroom, 4 to get license then 10 weeks driving experience with company drivers to graduate. 10,000 miles driving in total on freeway and in the hills and mountains. IMHO best school i have heard of if you can spare the time, though i am a little biased.

 

Wow!It's about three months at West Georgia Technical College!

 

Hmmm your wife and daughter i'm guessing "Gears" my training took about 10 days but us aussies are a pretty clever bunch .

 

10 days is all? Does that qualify you to pull a roadtrain too? You guys ARE a pretty clever bunch!

 

back in my day, it was 8 weeks. all day long too each day. 4 solid weeks classroom, 4 solid weeks yard/road. some schools like the one i worked at, if it is the 4 week program, 1 week classroom, 3 weeks outside. this is for the 160 hours, all day long (8 hours).
