Hey guys, i'm now in my second week of school, well,..7th day,..8 yet to go,...We are doing 10 1/2 hour days, with one 14 hour day.....

I've made it so far!,. we had a huge class, 29 to start,. and we're down to 15 :? Afew people quit, then physicals, and drug test got a few,.. but holy shit it's intense, i'm at CDI in South bend,In. and these guys don't screw around! and i wouldn't want them to ofcourse....

we have only been driving for two days, OTR =1 hr, Range about 3....

I didn't anticipate how difficult it was to drive these trucks!....Hope i have it down by the time i'm done, I go to TMC on the 27th....But they say that they're school is ranked 2 in the country, and i believe them!,. i should be ok)

 

good luck

 

You'll get it down packed as long as you listen and watch & learn from your mistakes. Watch your classmates too. You can learn from the good and the bad. Good luck to you!

 

You will be just fine just learn the basics try not to be overwhelmed and be safe. TMC will take you from there and teach you the rest.

Best of Luck!

 

I felt the same way when I started. Now I can parallel park my truck on any street between parked cars like I were driving a VW (almost). I actually enjoy driving my truck more than a car now. You can see so much more from up there!

Good Luck to You
