    New drivers. This is a good time to start driving now that the weather is pretty good and trainers can drive all night without the additional stress of dealing with bad weather. All trucks should be moving well from now into October. Learn the highways now while you can, every bump and crack in the road. When winter gets hear you will fell more confident. Trainers will not be as big of a pain in the neck do to the fact money is being made with a moving truck. Spring is over, so the storms that will push your truck in four different directions at the same time should be over. This I feel is Your time to make things work out in your favor. Good Luck !

    I sorta disagree, I learnt in the middle of winter how to drive, so learnt all the tricks with dealing with the crappy weather then. I feel if you learn inthe good weather now, then winter driving probably won't be covered and when winter comes and you hit your first Icey road, could be interesting, you won't know how to properly use the engine brake etc not to screw up on the ice etc
