That's pretty cool that your school is showing you guys how to adjust the slack adjusters. I've been out of school for about 2.5 weeks now, but while I was there, we were never taught how to adjust the slack adjusters.
I asked why we weren't being taught how to adjust them and I was told that maintenance didn't want the drivers working on the trucks. Anyhooooo.... I've been out on the road for 5 days with my mentor and I'm really enjoying it. Good luck with your classes and landing a job with a good company.

Longsnowsm  I thought that was pretty funny as well. My classes were held several days a week too, but the hours were from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Day 10 of CDL School 6/13/07:
Today was another busy day in the classroom. We spent the day going over Cargo/Load Securement, Weight Limits & Distribution, Documentation, Hazardous Material Documentation, and Accident Procedures. Of course we tested on all of the subjects as normal. Although I am thankful for the knowledge I gained today, the actual highlight of my day was after class when I went to the DPS office and ACED my Hazmat endorsement test…..whew……finally, all my written test are done and behind me!!
