Update to our progress, we did a day and a half last week (wed nite, and all day thurs) then went to DMV for our written test. We now have our learner permits and all endorsements. (helps to study CDL manuals before going to school!!!)
So far we have done preflights, (errr,,I mean pre-trips) and had classes on Preventive Maint., Pre-trip/post trip, brakes, systems, HOS, and trip planning. Last nite we got into trip planning some, and Wingz was complaing that I have spoiled her with always taking care of that in the past with our travels. Now she gets to learn it and carry her own weight,,,lol. (actually, we'll probably be using Co-pilot software and gps, or the new system being installed in the trucks that have comm, gps, street level directions, internet, etc. don't remember the name of it, Driver something)
We do not do any driving during the first several weeks, only pre-trips and in cab brake checks. Anxious to get to the driving part!
Cheers
