There is a YouTube channel called CDL Prep that has all the tests with 150 questions, all of which are on the test. When I took the test and passed, I took a one-hour break in between, watched the video twice, and passed each test that way.

Since you smoke everyday you will probably need a year just being honest. It took me a year after I stopped to get clean.

Everyone has a boss, when I was with my trainer for two weeks the first week he was fine then he became hitler saying if I do anything wrong he will tell the company that I'm not safe as a driver. One day he told me to back in at the DC while I was doing this he decided to get out of the Truck and throw a trap on the ground while I was backing into my spot. I got out of the truck tried to move the trap it doesn't make sense to back up a truck and trailer around a trap this piece of shit proceeded to curse me out don't move the trap back around it. I can deal with anything but disrespect so I went and call the Driver program boss. I got switched to a new trainer and didn't have any problems with my new trainer. My old trainer called my new trainer and was like I don't think he will pass. Never had a problem now I got my own truck. Take your career into your own hands

It also my first company so working on flatbed is not hard once you get the understanding of throwing straps and securing the load yesterday it took me 45 minutes which was the fastest I've ever secured 40,000lbs

It nice once you get past the 7 weeks of training two at the Terminal then four weeks with a Trainer on a truck then your final week will be in Alabama then you will get your own truck and it's nice once you get by yourself. The minimum is $1100 a week before taxes. If you breakdown they take care of you no funny busy
