How to study for CDL and most important?

The Air break test seems to be the most critical and most oddly worded. Hazmat has a lot to absorb.

You will be ok with the strange questions if you know what the manual explains. It's like someone who didn't really know had the job of writing the questions. You just have to know it better than they did.

 

Make the CDL manual your bedtime story and you will be fine.

Good luck.

 

Everything attached to, bolted on, tied to, strapped to, welded to etc onto a tractor trailer for the most part serves a purpose.

Soak a chapter every night for 6 months. You will be sick of it by then. but follow up with particular videos, factory PDF's etc online once a day. You will be sick of that too in time.

However the result is when you are at trucking school and get close to a big truck you will know and recognize way more than half the class with you. The big problem is the computers in those #### things. Some of it is not for you. It's the company stuff.

 

Be singal ready to be gone a lot.whst you are looking at is a good start.
It's not a luxury type job but with the right color. it can pay well
That's for staters

 

Yea it can be tough on a marriage at first. Not an impossible obstacle but challenging sometimes.

 

Get that CDL manual from the DMV, in my state it was free. Study it from cover to cover, multiple times. Pay particular attention to general knowledge, air brakes, pre trip inspections, and any other chapters related to the additional endorsements you want. But still study the entire book regardless of whether you think it will apply to what you want/intend to do.

Then you can find practice tests online that you can take over and over as many times as you'd like for free.

I personally got my Class A with Doubles & Triples, and Tanker endorsements. I had zero interest in getting the HazMat endorsement, but have worked at companies that did have a need for some HazMat drivers. So I did familiarize myself with that section as well so that I could have the knowledge to be able to help and advise with the loading and prepping of shipments leaving our facility.
