What company are you going with? I can't believe there is a company out there that would give a new driver his own truck after less than a month of training.

4 1/2 weeks of school then 3 weeks training with a trainer about 2 months before I get my own truck.CFI only takes students from real schools.Central Tech is one of the best CDL training schools out there.Plus I will be learning on company supplied trucks so I will be training on the same trucks I will be driving when I go solo.Better then the other companies where u get your CDL in 2 weeks.

Um Bouncer, can I let you in on a couple things that maybe your not aware of? At Central Tech, they only have 2 Kenworths that the CFI people train on, the rest are Freights and Internationals. The Kenworths have 13's, the others don't. No big deal, they all grind the same! Now when you get to orientation at CFI, you'll be tested in a T-2000, not a
T-600, like at school. No big deal, they all grind the same! :lol: OK, ya with me so far? Now lets say you graduate, go to CFI and you GET HIRED then you go out with a trainer. He or she may have a T-2000 or a T-600 or who knows what. You have to put in 7500 miles, right. Lets say frieght slows down, it's been known to happen that time of year, and you have to spend more time on a trainer's truck than you expected, now what? Now you go out on your own, you got your very own "Red Racer"! It's going to drive different, run different, feel different and shift different! But one thing for sure, it WILL GRIND the SAME!! :lol: :lol: Good Luck to ya!!
