I took it in 2003 and they said nothing about how to handle big vehicles. I hope state DMV and DOT will add it, maybe even have a handout and test for those renewing their DL TruckerMike I couldn’t agree more on the drivers ed part.

Well they are not thinking about driving. They are absorbed in whatever is going on in their lives at the moment. Girlfriends, job, fight with the wife, sporting events, work, you name it, but not driving. Driving to most people is an autopilot state of mind and of course that is very dangerous. You're a pro they are the amateurs, but they get to play on the same field. My question for you is: What do you think is safer, driving over the cracked thawing frozen Arctic Ocean or driving through New Jersey? -ike t TruckerMike,
