Getting off of disability and K restriction

I didn't say it upsets me. I said it's false advertising. Even the instructors will tell you that it generally takes longer than 4 weeks for the average student. It would be like colleges saying "Learn Latin in a week!", and then you'd tell me "What, you didn't learn it that quick? You should be glad they're still helping you, you ungrateful simpleton!"

Schools need to be honest and say that it varies person-to-person. Because it's not like trucking students can go home and practice backing and shifting, whereas a Latin student can study the language at home.

 

The majority do not complete it in that time. That's simply a number the trucking schools/companies came up with that sounds good for marketing purposes. I've spoken to multiple veterans of trucking who told me that usually the only people who finish in four weeks are the ones who've already had experience driving off-road for factories. One guy said the only way he finished so quick is that they had him doing it all day, 7 days a week.

The fact that I can't meet unrealistic expectations is not my fault - it's the fault of the lying SOB's who made them up. If someone says it takes four weeks to do something, that implies it's easy to learn. But the data shows that it's not. And if they ever give me an unrealistic delivery time on the job - again, that's on them. The laws of physics and biology can only be modified by God.

As for me being a stay at home dad, I can't believe I'm about to use this term, but I see what women mean when they talk about a patriarchy; Raising a child is the hardest and most important job a person can do. Moving stuff or putting widgets together is trivial in comparison, because without properly-raised children, all other jobs cease to exist.

I go to a private trucking school, so that has not been my experience. Is that how they do it with the "free" company training? How does that account for the fact that each person learns at a different speed?

 

Swim the Pacific for me in a couple days - from New York to London. Cant't do it? Don't make excuses for ineptitude.

Set me up a government that never becomes corrupt. Again - no excuses.

Build me a spacecraft that goes faster-than-light. What? Can't do that either?! Excuses, excuses!

It must be one of those 7-day a week company training deals that I heard about. For the record, Ive always been good on my pretrip. My problem was backing and shifting
I switched to automatic, and am finally doing ok with backing, and almost ready to test.

Is Class B local driving as stressful as OTR?
