Im new and still working out the bugs in my 'system'...I have had bad weeks, and good...most miles in a pay week was around 3,100. I am headed for my third straight 1,000 mile + load in the morning...BUT...I am ttying to make up lost miles due to breakdowns the past couple weeks. When things work, its smooth sailing, baby.
No matter where you go, someone will complain. Every company is not a perfect fit for every driver.

Well first day down...morning was mostly drug and physical testing...we got to do some driving in the afternoon. I must say I was hoping to do better with the shifting...more difficult to get used to than I expected. Guess I will see how it goes tomorrow but Im sure I will get better with practice.

One thing you will learn as a truck driver. Nothing is perfect. Shifting is a well balanced rhythm that takes time to learn. They aren't looking for perfect, just the understanding of how to shift . Oh and congrats on your first day!! It's alot at first, but you will see how rewarding it is!skyviper73 Thanks this. -

for how much they pound the pretrip through your head in the two weeks before you test out for your cdl, i swear i will never forget it. I could recite that without even looking at the truck or paper.

Phantom,
Upshifting is easy, it's that Clutch neutral rev clutch gear that gets people on downshifting. Shifting is easy, but it comes in time. Plus every truck is different, each one has it's own personality. Don't get bummed out about it either. Backing is even more fun! -
