New to trucking, Really flipping new!

Hola Forum people,

I've been selling plumbing supplies for about 12 years. I was recently let go because of was frustrated with the amount I was making plus no recognition for doing what I felt was a hell of a job.

I have always been interested in driving trucks but never have been out of a job long enough to seriously consider it. Once they parted ways with me I figured this would be a great time to see what was out there for my future.

I signed up with Stevens because it's close and from what I hear is they cater to absolute newbs like no other.

I start Monday, wish me luck. I hope I don't kill anyone due to my own negligence.

I have been lurking a few days and finally decided to post. Any pointers or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'll do my best, if you have any specific questions shoot me a message.

A week and two day's into it and I feel I am doing pretty well. Need to work on downshifting, Got scolded today because instead of clutch, rpm's clutch/shift. I did clutch, rpm's, shift. I can fix that I reckon.

After about 4 shots @ backing and parallel I got fairly decent @ it.
