Should I expect my trainer to be grouchy, impatient, or negative in any way? I just want a trainer that has confidence in me and knows that how he trains me to drive and operate is exactly how I'm going to do it the rest of my driving career.

Thanks guys...I appreciate it. Feels good now that the pressure is off. Just a heads up, KLLM had a fantastic driving academy and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get their CDL. I got mine in 18 days.

I passed my test and I'm now a member of the club. Thank you Trucking Truth, the moderators, and everyone who gave me confidence and encouragement through this whole process.

I test out at 9:30 in the morning. Prayers are much appreciated because I want and need this.

Everything we went over today is in the High Road CDL material.

This first day has revealed a lot of things to me just by listening and watching. 1. There are complainers 2. There are lazy people 3. Half the people wont make it 4. There are know it alls 5. People that talk more than they listen...etc. This dude next to me is driving me crazy. I'm just gonna keep my head down and nose in the books. KLLM doesn't do a hair follicle anymore by the way.

I recently graduated and obtained my CDL. Not bragging but was top of my class for what it's worth. That said, I have an issue in my background pertaining to an overzealous WM associate and a self checkout that failed to scan a pack of $7.69 chicken and ended up getting me a shoplifting charge on my background. I'm worried this will affect me getting a good driving job on top of being very embarrassing. Anyone else have a small misdemeanor but had success? My MVR and everything else is fine. I'm sure I will be a good driver. Just worried about this haunting me forever. Thanks for any advise. Quite depressed at this point.

If it's a misdemeanor you shouldn't have much to worry about. Felonies are usually what causes the most trouble. However, a felony doesn't necessarily disqualify you from getting a job either. It depends on the charge, how long ago it was, and what the company determines as being a risk for pre-hire. If you're that worried about it, you should research second chance companies and apply to as many as possible. Good luck

Well guys and gals the wait is over. Next Monday myself and another Trucking Truth member will begin our school and training together at KLLM's driving academy. I became a member of this site over 7 months ago and in that time I have learned a lot about this industry and what it takes to be successful and safe at the same time. Thank you for all the help, answers, and resources that you have provided to me and I look forward to keeping you all updated on my progress as we add a couple of KLLM graduates to the Trucking Truth page.

I'm seeing the same thing you're seeing Joshua and have wondered if it was just different divisions as well.

It was a joke Old School. I love this site because there always a little extra conversation and not a bunch of moaning and groaning.
