It feels very strange to be teaching students how to shift a truck when it feels like I just got my CDL license last week. Of course, I've had my license for over two and a half years now, but it sure doesn't feel that way. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/truckermike/2011/09/a-trainers-perspective-on-teaching-students-how-to-shift">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been in the truck driver training industry for several years now and it still dumbfounds me as to how individuals choose their truck driving school. Often times they make the least important factors a priority, while failing to evaluate the most important factors properly. You want the best quality education you can get for the money, and most importantly you want to be able to land a job after graduation. Here are some factors to consider when comparing truck driving schools. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/tanyabons/2011/07/what-you-need-to-know-before-choosing-a-truck-driving-school">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Truck driver training usually involves a lot of pressure. The intensity of the experience is part of what made it so special for him.  He quickly formed  a very close bond with many of his fellow students, and they are a diverse bunch of characters whom he never would have come to know so well under other circumstances. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/11/randys-truck-driving-school-days-16-17">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Randy sounded a bit odd when I talked to him today. For the past several days, he has mentioned feeling trapped and restless, and anxious to begin training.  I suspected it was just a reaction to all that he had been through, combined with elation from his success, which can be just as overwhelming as the constant anxiety and tension. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/11/husbands-truck-driving-school-days-13-14-15">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>
