New Driver Options

Personally I think the roughest part is going to be when you go to take your CDL test. Only because that's when people stress the most. Otherwise man you really have nothing to worry about. The only other thing I can think of is the first day you are on your own and were just issued your truck. This will probably be a little overwhelming and will probably take sometime to get used to.

Overall man, it isn't rocket science and there's nothing really that hard about it. Just going to take practice. Your biggest hurdle is going to be the lifestyle itself and getting used to being out there. Can't speak for every driver but personally this is how I felt.

With that being said, I also have to tell you that it is an absolute blast going through school then orientation and then on to training. I kind of felt like the party was over once I got my truck and was on my own. Course that's when the real adventure begins. Have fun out there man it really is an opportunity of a lifetime and your life will be filled with stories and adventures to tell everyone who will listen to you! Course you could be like me and talk to much and now this is my only outlet!

 

they are went there and had like 5 job offers it is a 8 week program it is a very good program as well

 

Wiley Sanders is in your area. You would have to go to a cdl school first but once you graduate with a cdl they will train you. He hauls alot of his own stuff along with contracts from the local paper mills.

 

The roughest part is simply adapting to the lifestyle at the same time you're adapting to how your company operates. Looking back on my training, I can say the best thing my trainer ever did for me was really teach me how to live on the road, not just the basic skills like backing and turns and working with customers. Starting in trucking, regardless of the company you sign on with, is like drinking from a fire hose for your first twelve months. Right there around your one year anniversary, you'll wake up one day and realize things have just clicked and gelled in your mind. Until that day, it's overwhelming a lot of the time.
