When i started driving 16 yrs ago i used the guys truck that i was gonna go work for to get my cdl. Took the test and my dad drove the truck there i did my driving test passed and i drove home. He had a load for me the next day and i've been driving ever since. U don't need to go to school to get your license.. I get a kick out of people that have been driving for a year or two and they think they know everything there is to know about truck driving.
