Started school today at International Schools in Austin, TX
 

I started my CDL school today. I had to take my physical first thing. I was worried about my BP. No problem. It was an easy day, just got a feel for the class, watched some videos and took some test. We will go to the DMV on Wed. to get out permits. I have been studying so I'm not worried about that. I'm glad I have access to this cite, there sure are a lot of misconceptions out there, especially from people that should know better. I'll push this forum.

Well, we finished up out first week. I passed all my endorsement first try. I haven't taken the Hazmat yet. I wanted to study a little bit more. We've had an interesting week. Our head instructor was fired. I don't want to get into any details online about this school. If you are interested PM me. I think it can only get better from now on.

Got to drive for the first time today. A Freightliner 9 speed. All we did was, hook up and straight line back. Piece of cake. More of the same for the rest of the week. We'll be out on the road tomorrow or later this week.

best of luck and continued success

Thanks, I was just posting nonsense to see what happened when I went over 100 post. I'm a Senior Trucker now :D

get another 100 and you get to be super :lol:

Where's this school at in Austin? i live in round Rock, just norht of Austin, and went all the way to Little Rock for my schooling. Is it fairly new?

It is not new, I don't know how long they have been here. The classes are offered through Austin Community College (ACC). Classroom time is at ACC off of Middle Fiskville, by Highland Mall and driving time is in the large parking lot at Reagan High School. I grew up in Round Rock. The old Round Rock, go Dragons!

terry - I'm home in RR right now. first time in just over a month. Didn't realize that the school was affiliated with ACC. I talked to someone from there last year, but I think he's not there any longer. Believe his name was Bob.

Found out it's pretty hard to find a place to keep a truck in round Rock when you get home. Luckily, Chaparral Ice is letting me put it in there back parking lot for a few days. Have to move Friday though, they have an Icebats game Friday night and need the parking spaces back!!

We might be able to work something out if you don't mind driving to Austin. I have a 2K sq. ft. commercial building. When I'm in town I'll be parking there. It will be awhile before this will happen, I have two RV's and a bunch of dogs I have to get rid of. PM me if you might be interested.
