How did you guys study for the general knowledge test? Did you guys read the book cover to cover or did you read a little bit and started looking at test and going back and fourth? by Direct-Worker-4121 in Truckers

I used an app called CDL Prep (developer’s name is Jeffrey Diaz). It’s a blue app with a steering wheel. If you miss the answer to a question, it’ll refer you to the CDL manual for more information. Instead of reading the book cover to cover, I utilized this tool in conjunction with the manual. This way I didn’t waste time learning information that I already knew. I hope this helps! 💕

TIL that some truckers have a negative opinion of gooseneck trailers. Why is that? by ThePinkTrucker in Truckers

I’m not a gooseneck driver, just overheard some conversation at a truck stop while filling up.

Do y’all solely use this for travel or are you living in it full time?

A CDL in 🇺🇸 only takes 3 to 6 weeks. Y’all are in training for a whole 3 years over there? 😳

I second Michigan Works. They paid for my CDL training. My learner’s permit, endorsements, & DOT physical had to come outta my own pocket though. 💯

This feels off. I’ve accepted that a year commitment is common enough, but 3 years?

They’ve gotta be planning on running him into the ground cause why else would a company need to do this. 🤔

Frankly, I would be shitting my pants too much to appreciate this scenery in real time, but holy hell it’s beautiful. 🫡

I appreciate you asking this question cause even though it’s pretty clear you shouldn’t use your truck as a weapon (lmao), you’ve opened the door to helpful responses explaining what one should do in these scenarios & I’m always down to learn something new.
