    First day of school! I am looking forward to the next 3 weeks. I know alot of you have thoughts on "newbies" and "CDL mills". But for me this represents a new beginning and going back to work and supporting my family.
    Unemployment is great for the first 2-4 weeks but then its time to get back out and do something.

    good luck. pay attention and if you have a question or two, ask your instructor. take your time to learn to do things the right way, and you should be fine.

    Well the first week is done, and I am having a blast. Yesterday I spent 8 eight hours in my own truck going thru the manuevers on the range. Spent half the day on the range and the other half in the "shift truck" learning how to double clutch". The instructor is good, very patient. All in all I would give the school a 10.
