You don't need to fix the truck, the company will arrange it.
Handling a big truck is a bit more than a car, but it is just getting your perspective adjusted to the longer length and turns. Also longer stopping distance, so you need to keep some room between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Also backing with a trailer hooked to you. But that will come with practice, and patience.
All doable, if you have some patience.
You should try it.
You can always go back to the way you were before. But if you don't try it, you will never know if you will fall in love with it.Dino soar, JolliRoger, Just passing by and 2 others Thank this. -
maybe not in the beginning but if you find the right company that fits you it can be like a "vacation". as far as the mechanics of a truck you will learn as you go. although if you drive new equipment you might not learn much as not much goes wrong, but that can be good depending on what your looking to get out of it. whats the worst that can happen if it doesnt work out? you go back to what you were doing before. good luck

Just remember: Every driver in a fancy, chromed out hood started out knowing just as much as you do now.

You’ll get used to Driving a Large Truck. No need to be intimidated by the Job, or others. One of the best things about Trucking is pay parity for Men and women. No glass ceilings. The best thing is always having a Job, and the ability to change Jobs, if you’re not happy with current one. Go for it.
