Congratulations Brett on the Trucking Truths 10 year anniversary! I believe this is the best site for beginners to learn about trucking & the tests you have on the site! be safe & have many more blessed years to come! Thank You!

I feel better after reading about new drivers in their 50's-60's starting out as a CDL driver! I have been going to Baker College has a CDL truck driving program near Flint, MI. since January of 2016, due to graduate this June then take the 3rd party test on the 3rd week of July. Since I have been single for many years I don't care if I am not home much, so long hauls will be OK! I will admit at first as a student it was overwhelming to learn the pre-trip & etc. because the school teaches Us more then we need to know for the 3rd party testing which is good for when working for a company & something breaks down I will have a little knowledge of what it is. This site I feel has the best online CDL training program and I still use it when I can. When I took the TIP test "Temporary instructional permit thru the state I only did the standard group A with air brakes endorsement. If I pass the 3rd party test then I plan to take additional endorsement testing. Still researching what companies to apply & work for. Looks like only big self insured trucking companies will hire students? Good luck out there & safe driving!
