• April 22, 2009 -- Preparing For Your Profession In Truck Driving
  Truck driving is a special profession, it’s not for everyone. There are two assumptions about truck driving, first assumption is that you will hop in the truck and no one will see you for months, the second assumption is that you’ll get your CDL today and a local job tomorrow. Both assumptions have some validity but neither is entirely true, all potential CDL students should research the industry.

  Another day stuck at the school, another interesting story...don't know if it's true, but it's interesting. Supposedly, a student took a bottle of liquor on the truck while with an instructor and other students. They got 30 miles away at a truck stop, the safety manager and cops were called, and he got a D.U.I. If it really happened, it's incredibly stupid! A lot of odd things happen at that school....
