The Truck Driving School Experience - Pt.1 - The CDL Classroom
You want to start driving and get behind the wheel of a semi on the open road - but all that stands between you and a great paying career in trucking is a Class A CDL and the knowledge you need to actually drive the truck. What's it like to go through the process of learning to drive a semi in three weeks, anyway? In this four part series, follow Morry and Matt as they get the truck driving school experience first hand. Morry, from Atlanta, and Matt, from Lexington, have had very different paths in life to lead to a trucking career, and now they have a single goal - to become safe, licensed drivers and start hauling freight. In Part 1, Morry and Matt discuss what led them to this career and what their experience in the classroom learning the theory of truck driving has been like. They tell us about the process of getting the CDL permit and learning map reading, logging, and the beginning of the pre-trip inspection. They also talk about their reservations and excitement about getting out to the range and actually driving a truck in the second week.
Get the full truck driving school experience through the eyes of Matt and Morry - check out Part 2 next where we talk to the guys right after their first trip on the road in a big rig.
