Hey Tammy,
Don't get stressed about it ... that's why you go thru school. I couldn't do an off-set back-up for weeks! and then it just all came together. The pre-trip seems overwhelming, but pretty shortly we'll find you wake in the middle of the night muttering, "no welds or cracks, no missing or broken leaf springs..."
Everyone will have different skills and experience, but all are there for the same thing. And you can do it!

Panic is pretty normal. There will always be something to learn, practice, and master. The great thing is you will get there. Some will come easy and others not so easy. Your determination and ability to face your fears will determine where you are in 3 months, 6 months, a year.
You know how Facebook has those "from a year ago" posts? Find a way to look back every once in a while. You'll be amazed at what you've been able to do!

Hi, I'm starting Trucking Solutions in Fort Worth Monday. I have been taking all of the practice tests CDL/Hazmat and making 90-100. I study everyday, I've been so excited to do this, have been working for 4 months to get started. I read the reviews from some of you and now I'm trying not to panic lol! I am thankful that I no longer have my blinders on but I am worried about backing, gears and pre-trip 😀
