There's a lot on HOS in the high road training program as well as throughout the site here. When I was in school, I stressed off of it too, but I quickly had my hands full with successfully making it through school. It's one of those things that will make more sense to you once you are actually running every day and using your clocks as part of daily life.

One thing that helped is that our teachers made us do paper logs every day while in school and we were graded on them. Not all schools do that though.

Basically concentrate on the tasks at hand and prioritize what's most important, which is passing your CDL test first. Whiles it's always good to look ahead to the next step, it's important to not get too far ahead of yourself too.

Thanks Davy, great advice. And school is hard sometimes. The hardest is waking myself up in the middle of the night and finding my brain running thru my pre-trip, and thinking I left something out LOL. Thanks again, Jason

Thanks BK and Kearsey. To be more specific I was wondering the "split sleeper berth thing, 1/2 hour breaks and 1 hour manditory time things. Thats what makes me confused when the show you pictures of the 24hr time cards and ask when was the driver in violation and what rules did he/she violate. If you really want to see how confusing, even though Trucking Truth does a great job explaining, try it. It's in the CDL practice tests sections under "LOGBOOKS" Check it out. And thank you !

Hi everyone, I'm in CDL school but trying to enhance my overall knowledge on the whole industry. I'm having a real hard time on Logbooks in the CDL training practice tests. Can't seem to get it in my thick skull. Is there any quick formula of when you can't work anymore, and when you can with the 11 hour rule and 14 hour rule? I'm extremely confused and getting horrible scores. Thank you guys, Jason T /NY

Repetition. Then repeat. Then do that again. Again and again.

If you're not dreaming about the pre-trip each night, you need to study more.

Hello Pellican. Im in CDL school for my fourth day now. Man, Definitely we should take PackRat's advice...If you're not dreaming about pre-trip, we need to study harder! I unfortunately get woken up dreaming about it. Thought something was wrong with me. Good luck Sir ! Jason T. L.I., New York
