went to local DMV, got CDL handbook, read the CDL handbook, went to DMV and did several written test, got CDL permit, score 100 percent... I took a drug test and did a physical, got DOT CARD, went to the local community college workforce training center and signed up for Truck Driver Training.. First day of school did pretrip, drove around dirt lot with orange cones, backing and more backing, did lunch, drove around city traffic for awhile then highway , end of day... repeat day after day.. all bookwork was done at home on duty not driving, keeped logbook from day one of school, after 3 weeks of intense training took driving test with state examiner, passed with only missing 3 points..... what is better than that ? was not a CDL Mill, was drive, backup, drive, backup everyday all day long, thats why bookwork was homework, no time, drove all day long.. first half of day alone in the truck in the dirt lot with lots of orange cones, second half of day one on one with instructor out on the road. I had really good training and learned more than you think....Not some cram 20 kids in a class and say open to page 1 and lets all look at the chalk board... took home safety videos and got graded on them with a verbal test while we did a pretrip every mornin, very sharp teacher with 30+ years of driving, show me a better way to learn by golly.....
