You will not learn to drive at a trucking school, you will just learn how to get your CDL. You will learn to drive when you are out with your trainer (and for the next 20+ years or so) OK, you will get the basics, but it will not feel "crammed in" after a few days. My school was only three weeks long and I was so frustrated in the first week that I was not getting enough driving and backing time. By the beginning of the third week I was very frustrated that I could not just take the test and be done, I was ready. Don't over think the CDL school. Like most things we worry about in life, the actuality is not nearly as bad as the fear.

That helps ALOT! thanks! -
As for 'seeing the US' - we want that too, but we know that for the most part we will be seeing it from the Interstate... however... on those 'home' times - our home will be what ever area of the US we are in. Find a safe place to park the rig, rent a car and explore!! THOSE are the days when we will see the US. I want to see the National Parks and Monuments. I want to see the Statue of Liberty, Smithsonion - and a whole bunch more - even the Biggest Ball of Twine - LOL!
Anyway - just remember - you are NOT alone in how you feel. For some this is such a right decision - for others it might not be. Only YOU know what is right for you... -
Butterflies in the tummy? I have a whole bee hive!!
Today I am handing over keys to someone else-everything has been given away or in storage.
2 bags packed-there is no backing out now,
I think having fallen into this, there is a reason why there are so many of us doing this, timing, economy etc... (what the reason is IDK!!)Lady K Thanks this. -
It took me awhile to convince my wife but she never regretted it. You can make a hell of a lot of money driving as husband/wife team! Plus you have no reason to go home so make even more money. Companies treat husband/wife teams like gold too! It will be a little tough until you get used to it but after that it's a breeze. The memories and good times you will have are far more valuable then all the money you will make out there.
Give it a shot!
Lady K, 00 buckshot and PainNdaNeck Thank this. -
