    Remember.
    If you lock the brakes up, you can’t steer a brake that’s locked, it’s going wherever.
    That’s why you brake hard enough to not lose steering.

    Nope. They teach you to pass the test. Not to be a professional driver. That is your trainer you go out with after orientation's job.

    Ok. They will send me away with the trainer for 4 weeks and no break. 4 weeks should be enough. Right?

    They will pay me $600 a week during the 4 weeks, so that's good.

    Studying/ memorizing the pre-trip inspection, backing (90 degree, straight back and off-set, and in some states/programs parallel parking) and driving (learning to double clutch and safely operate the truck).

    No, but they do have a restriction on their license.
