    Hardest part for me was the dot regs. Namely the penalties for which offense and for how long. But I plan on being safe and legal anyway ;). And I have to speak up on something... Yes MOST schools just get your cdl and there is no exp like being on the road. But if you find a GOOD school you have a heads up on everyone out of the cdl mill schools. If you can, look for longer programs. Mine was 8 wks and the last 4 made a world of difference in the comfort level I had. Sorry for the rant, but jus trying to look out for yall.
