New Trucker Starting a Career. at OD PA..

Hello,
I will be finishing up my week training for OD out of the Carlisle, PA terminal to be a P&D Driver at the ALN terminal in Allentown, PA.

worked for OD as a Dock Worker for a year and now they put me thru school, got the permit with all endorsements and plan on taking the driving test in about 2 or 3 weeks into training, I am terrified by that test..

OD has Been really good to me, my warehouse manager it's a great guy, very fair, and most of the guys I worked in the dock were cool too.

I am 37 years old and had been on the warehouse business since I was 16, got tire of going nowhere (I had done everything from lead to supervisor) and nothing to show, so a year ago I decided to make a career change and not regretting one bit.

Just scare about the future experience, don't know how is it going to be, if the driving test will be hard.

But one thing I am sure of, I am not scare, I am very excited about starting and going on my own, and will do everything by the book, no shortcuts.

I will be updating this and taking pics as soon as I start, any input from any of the veterans here will be appreciated.

what it's the one advice you guys would give me..

Thanks..
