		<description><![CDATA[Company-Sponsored CDL training is a lot like boot camp. Be prepared to have your self worth, your dignity, your brains, your ability and your patience tested. Once you sign those papers you are at their mercy. Boy could I have begged for mercy more times than I care to admit. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/sharbear/2010/12/the-boot-camp-known-as-company-sponsored-training">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

We’d be spending the first couple of days in the yard, learning straight-line backing and 45° angle backing. Here we go - my first attempt at backing up a truck. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rickhu45/2010/03/attending-truck-driving-school-part-ii-first-day-on-the-yard">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Priceville, Alabama was where my trucking adventure began. A Super 8 motel room would be my home for the next three weeks while I attended CDL school. I did not know what to expect on the first day, but I met a wide range of personalities in the other students. It was incredible to see the diversity. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rickhu45/2010/03/attending-truck-driving-school-part-i">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Randy was all excited and relieved to tell me that, early in the day, he passed his backing test on the first try.  He was nervous, so he did lose 2 points (could miss 12 and pass).  He's been backing trailers (on and off over the years) since he was 16, but said that being trained in proper techniques has increased his confidence. He said the thing he misses most about home is "me making dinner".  What???  Shouldn't he have just said "me"? The thing I miss most, at least right now, is just being able to sleep. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/10/randys-truck-driving-school-day-6">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I finally did it! After a whole year of thinking about it, I decided it was time for me to dive head-first into the exciting, rewarding career of over-the-road truck driving. So I grabbed my fingerless work gloves, denim jacket and "Smokey and the Bandit" DVD and realized that I had absolutely no idea how to get into the industry.... <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/petersmithjr/2009/03/end-of-my-first-week-of-cdl-school-start-of-my-first-blog">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello once again everyone. Well, since the title of this post gives it away, I'll start off by saying I took my CDL written exams today so I could obtain my CDL permit. I passed! In order to get my permit, I had to pass three sections; General Knowlege, Air Brakes, and Combination Vehicles. I decided to take it a couple steps further and also took the Doubles / Triples certification exams as well as the exam for Tankers. I got 100% on every single exam! Unreal! <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/truckermike/2009/01/my-4th-and-5th-day-of-truck-driving-school-passing-my-cdl-written-exams">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another day of truck driving school down, one day closer to getting into the truck! Today was a fun, but challenging day. The information keeps building and building and our instructor is really pushing us to remember everything. After all, our CDL permit test is this Friday. Only two days away! While it's a bit stressful trying to learn so much information in such a short period of time, I feel it's well within my abilities. And the things I'm learning are things I'm truly interested in, so it makes things much more bearable. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/truckermike/2009/01/cdl-training-my-third-day-of-truck-driving-school">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, after a long wait, the day has finally come! I had my first day of CDL training today! During my training, I plan on writing every single day, or nearly every day, to let you know how things are going on a day by day basis. Some posts will be long, and others will just be a "check in" if nothing too exciting happened. But I'll be sure to keep you all up to date so check out my blog daily!
