Good luck with it, lots of good advice
But I've got to throw this in, just imagine if it was a real test, the road test is easy.
Yeah I get some people struggle but it is too easy. -
Dave_in_AZ, Lepton1 and x1Heavy Thank this.

It's all I ever wanted to do since i was little. Bought a truck figured it all out by myself. I'm very proud of that. Not many of us left now.Diesel Dave and x1Heavy Thank this. -
Wait until you up along the Bitter Root range in Wyoming a few minutes from Sheridan fighting 3 feet of drifted snow over split ice below that. It will take a while to get there.
You are about to engage in a journey of a life time. Most people are content to sit on the porch or stare at a office cubicle for 40 years and not travel. This is a Awesome Nation and there are many possibilities once you get away from the Smurfs on both coasts.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
Fast forward to '12. My business failing I got back into driving with my brother, pulling a 53' dry van. New regulations.
With a permit you have three chances to pass the brake test, pretrip, skills test, and road test. I took them using my brother's truck. I failed the brake test my first time. Next time I passed the brake test, but failed the pretrip. The third time I aced the brake test and pretrip, but failed the skills test.
I retook the written test to get another permit and aced it all on my next try. So that's four times trying. I have almost five recent years experience now. Having a blast. I should have stayed with trucking back in '80.KillingTime, Dave_in_AZ, x1Heavy and 1 other person Thank this. -

I dont have a CDL...but I can tell you I know how you feel. My CDL classes were so quick that by the end, I was not ready (unlike you). Obviously I didnt keep at it, so hard for me to say "keep trying". Wish I had, though. Good luck, if you continue trying.

But, man - there isn't a job I'd rather do. I work alone, don't have to push paper or attempt to manage a group dynamics allotment of stupidity and ineptitude. (The running joke is 'flip burgers'.... what if you can't be taught to flip burgers without being a ####ing ###-hole the whole time?.... I'm surprised some people have even been house-broken. Honestly. It's not a skill problem; it's a personality problem.)
Working vampire, all I have to be wary of is the wildlife & the drunks. Beyond that...... I've seldom a concern.
In short: I think I hate people and their problems. I'd rather deal with a machine that most people can't fathom.Last edited: May 12, 2017

Not as hard as to decide how you are going to come down the hay slope away from the barn and still make enough traction in the grass and snow to turn away from the neighbor's fence you probably will destroy.
