Not ready for CDL test

Dont do it! Walk away. Theres no real money in trucking, government takes it

 

Just remember that trucking will not be exciting after a week and youll do fine

 

Take the test! Most likely, your over thinking it and you'll do fine. Tons of people in my area fail their first test. If you fail you'll have a feel for the test and have an idea of what to work on. I bet you'll do fine and your just worrying to much. Once you pass the test is where the real learning comes.

 

I failed my first try, passed on the 2nd. Take a breath , calm down and just do it. You might surprise yourself with how easy you can do it

 

Walk away from the big bad 18 wheeler and take a break. Then hop back in the seat.

When backing there are two truths.

1- You turn that wheel left, trailer goes right, if you turn the wheel right trailer goes left.

2- Once you start coming round with that trailer, start unwinding what you put into that wheel to start the docking. You will get straighish. Maybe need a pull up.

And that's it. Everything else is your head. Don't stress over it unless there is a uncovered need to go see a mental heal professional? I hope not.

School will not teach a #### thing. Yes that's right. Not a #### thing.

YOU. WILL. Be backing that thing into places where it's never considered in school. Pfth, you can put a trailer anywhere you want. Just follow the two rules I tell you with the addition of getting out and WALKING to the back to LOOK once in a while. You are NOT lazy right? I hope so. Sometimes drivers are fired for backing into something.

 

What he said. Verbatim.

 

one thing on backing small corrections, also turn right to find the trailer, left to loose the trailer while looking out of mirror
