That is what i will do. I laugh at myself all the time

At my soon to be done with retail job i have coworkers who have family that drive Big trucks. They have been quizzing me and giving me tips to the soon to be newbie and student driver. One of them mentioned that some trucks have clutch brakes? I was told that when i get to shift gears to not push the clutch down like i would with a car but about half way to 3/4 of the way down to avoid grinding gears? I'm just looking for some tips to start out driving right and maybe impress the teachers and trainers? I am by no means a know it all and am a very good listener. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all

Im about half way through logbook and will do weight and balance. i have also been told by some regular customers who drive trucks giving me some pointers like not push the clutch all the way down because some trucks have a clutch brake? And that why some new drivers always grind gears until it spins up to speed. and i have them ask me questions about different things and i have answered there questions correctly all the time. i will go through the entire High Road Program again in between the days off before i start class. I also have the mobile app to. And go thru things on my lunch break. Thank you again

I bet deliverys are never ever late. would be kind of hard on trailers.

That will be me i about 6 weeks.

I have been studying and using this websites High Road Training Program. It is very well thought out. And i have completed general knowledge combination, and air brakes along with rules and regulations with a score of 93 percent. Thank you for an awesome website.

I just got a call from my recruiter and i am scheduled to start school on march 10,2014. I am really excited and nervous about it. At least i get to spend the first week of school in Sacramento. Then two weeks in fontana,ca. 3 days of oreintation then 5 weeks on the road with what i hope will be a good trainer. After that some more orientation then i get assigned a company truck that they said i could take home. where in the world am i supposed to park a big rig tractor at home? Super excited.

Well it is a couple of weeks before i quit my retail job and start schooling before my new career as a otr truck driver. What are some of the bare bones items needed to start off right in the trucking industry? want to do it right.

I am getting ready to start trucking school. Then on to the open road with a company trainer. When do we have time to take care of laundry and showers? I am so new it is probably a dumb question. Looking forward to my new career

The recruiters said they had a school close to my home. I think they will probaly send me to fontana,ca. if im going to jump in with this new career. i will jump in on the deep end and devote all my attention to everything they teach us.
