    99.9 percent of schools only train you enough to pass the test. Thats it. Your company then trains ya enough to get your own truck and then u teach yourself how to do the job. Welcome to trucking.

    If you don't want to let us know the nearest town/city where you live, then give us your zip code.
    Do that and we can get you started.

    The first time you pull in to a consignees yard to unload, the trainer will tell you how to approach and the door to back into etc etc. But when you pull in and the trainer says nothing, meaning he's leaving it up to you to make the decision as to how to do it, you have moved up a rung in the ladder. Ask the trainer if you can do everything necessary as to decision making and see if you do it right. Better that way instead of him just making all the decisions while you are just tagging along.
