The hardest process for me looking back and being new,was the adverse weather.Or hauling heavy meat or paper roll loads.You just have to make sure to scale those loads every time.And know when to pull over off the road if you don't feel safe.It is a very challenging career and even more so with those that have very little concern for anyone but theirself.People will cut you off and slam their brakes if they are upset at you.Just find whatever helps keep you calm and keep rolling.I have had a truck keep racing beside me on the highway.And then gets on front of me and pulls across both Lanes of highway to a dead stop.And after about 30 seconds just takes off again.There are some crazy people in the world in cars and trucks alike.

alds, HollyRoller, Hunda44 and 3 others Thank this. -
I have a question that hopefully someone can answer relatively quick lol. I am going for my CDL road test later today and I'm wondering if it matters what order I do the air brakes test? Can I do tug, pull, 60 second hold down? Or 60 second hold down, tug, pull?

No more right hand turns then, methinks?~? @scottied67 you and I were the ONLY ones that ever got that concept, I believe. Was talking to a new driver (not for my place) the other day, about button hooks and jug handles... <<<< He DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A J/H IS. Wow, just wow.
