Swift cdl training program: Tips for students

bring a watch: the testing the truck requires a watch and can not have cell phones in the trucks
sneakers are ok to wear but you will be on your feet for 10-11 many days with only one or two breaks and a 30 min lunch
if you want to eat lunch bring a lunch every day but the first day
no drinks in class at all. even water must not be in class but you will need water outside with the trucks
bring a calculator
extra soles for your shoes
SUNBLOCK you will need it and get 50 or higher bring it with you to class too
bug spray Off brand spray works good
bring a belt in case you lose weight (i needed this)
athlete foot spray and shoe powder to keep your feet healthy
if you can bring your car do so because the bus to walmart is only once every four or five days for only one short trip
bring a note book duh and pens and bag to carry books and stuff
sunglasses and get prescription sunglasses if you need too
bring your full medical card report papers with you. or you will redo the physical
they will do another drug test so pls dont do drugs
a small spray bottle with water in it is worth it
and for those not familiar with hotels NO COOKING in rooms only microwave meals and such allowed

if i think of more i will add it to this post

 

make sure your watch has seconds on it you will need it for the air brake test
you need to pay your test in full ahead of time with dps or have about 60 with you in card or cash to go to dps (texas has dps not dmv) the week before you test out.
hats, thick socks, good shoes with extra insoles, water bottle insulated one, and a wallet or card case that your id, permit, and medical card will fit in (you need it all with you to be allowed to drive)
coins, and cash for laundry and snacks, a laptop and or cell is very useful
the more clothing sets you bring the less often you need to do errands like laundry after a long hot day outside driving
and if or when you have to repeat a week... dont be upset it is better to do well on the cdl test than do it quickly
