    Can anyone out there recommend some good driver training text books? I read a lot and I'd like to mix some studying in with my leisure reading. I've got about 6 months before I start school. Thanks!

    the FMCSA hand book AND the CDL drivers manual along with the old car manual as you still need to know those rules! That's ALL you will need to study to pass the CDL tests!

    I've got the CDL licencing books (I have a CDL B with P and S endorsements). I've been studying those to be ready to take the other tests I'll need to take for my CDL A permit. Do you know of any good books on driving techniques and skills?

    Don't know if this helps, but I've been playing "18 wheels of steel - long haul" on
    the computer. LOL
