My gf wants to get her CDL and only wants to deal with me.

My questions are to see if I am understanding your question correctly.

 

Thanks for explaining. I thought you was talking old school way, but I'm not sure that will work now days. 1) I don't believe she is "supposed" to be driving a rig without a permit. 2) not going to a private or company trucking school will only hurt her chances of getting hired.
Now with all of that said.... speaking from my experience.... I wish I knew someone with their own Rig, so that I could get some more 1 on 1 learning, while in school. My husband and I are in a 6 week school now and it's like rushing to learn everything. I'm a fast learner, and they say we are are doing good but I'm not so sure.
Questions.... would your company hire her??? Could you be her on the job trainer where you are?
There is a Trucking company that uses the school we go to for their first 3 weeks of training and I swear it seems there program is even more rushed than the one we are going through. So any studying she can do before starting.... the better.
Well I gotta get ready for school. We are on the yard today learning offset and parallel today. In the Texas heat.
I'm not learning this part to fast. The teacher make it seem easy. Lol they have had lots of experience.
Good luck, I wish you both the best.

 

Sygma Network does and a few other foodservice companies. Hard work unloading multi-stop loads with a two wheeler down a ramp and into some fast food joint. The cdl permit driver is the drivers helper; it's a team operation.

 

I totally agree. I think today I am starting to pick up on what to do. I'm still not very good at actually doing what needs to be done, but at least I'm understanding what should be done. Lol.
The other thing, we are learning based on cones. There won't be any cones in the real world.

 

My suggestion, would be to take her on your truck, let her see what it is like (maybe 3-6 months) while teaching the TPI. She can be studying to pass the permit test. Then maybe she will be strong enough to go through a school... because she will have some prior experience.
China.... I like your suggestion also... but was wondering what happens when the permit holder get their CDL???? Will the company let them stay together?

 

I guess I should have explained where I was coming from with that statement. There are some guys in my class that see one or 2 cones hit, smashed.... as still a passing grade. To me those cones represent a wall or another truck. I want to learn how to get in without touching the cones. Plus the angle that is needed is represented by 2 cones on top of each other. I know if my trailer isn't lined up with it... I need to correct my angle. I use it, but I want to get where I don't need it. (Cheats like that probably won't be in the real world) Just like in a car or pickup, I can look at the whole and KNOW I will fit. Or know where my vehicle is... so I know I'm not going to hit anything. I understand I'm new and I'm learning, but I still strive to achieve a higher ability.
