    But are you worried when you do start you may not pass the road test?Are you planning on getting your CDL thru a trucking school or company sponsored school?

    i say to the o/p concentrate on your learning first and foremost. don;t get into a clique at the school, as this can distract you. everyone learns at thier own pace.

    practice, practice, practice.

    best of luck to you.

    You'll do fine and here's why,you're planning ahead for those incase times.A good trucker always has a backup plan.If you apply yourself you'll pass with flying colors.

    I'd say it's a fairly high percentage that pass the test , but a very low percentage that lasts 30 days after passing the test

    We had a class of 30 in 1964 at North Carolina Truck Driver Training School. One student was counseled at the half way mark that he probably wouldn't pass and he was offered half of his tuition refunded. He chose to stay, and flunked. He had a master's degree in English Literature.
