Look at it from the trainer's perspective. These guys go through a lot. It is a stressful job, they get so little sleep because they are concerned that the trainee driving the truck is going to wrap that rig around a tree, or pull the truck into some place that there is no way to get out of. That is why trainers make a lot of money, they are putting their lives in the hands of an unknown student every day. These guys are nervous anxiety filled time bombs.

Now here comes along a fellow who already knows what he is doing and aces the training in one shift. That kind of a student is a trainers vacation, no way is he going to give that up. The trainer is going to stretch out that hitch with the pro for as long as the driver manager is going to allow.

One or two months training is nothing. Do your best and the training time will fly by. It will not be wasted time, you will be making yourself quite a reputation and gaining the trust of the folks in the office so once you do go solo you will be given all the good loads that they will only assign to the drivers that they can count on.

There are a few local jobs around Knoxville that I am looking at. I have always wanted to live near the Smoky Mountains.

It has been about five years now since I got my cdl using this website, just never did create an account to log in until just now. Just never really thought about it until just recently my family and I decided to move to Tennessee, so I will be changing jobs as well. Now I am going to need to get a few endorsements and remembered the good material you guys have here.

Figured it was about time to say thank you as well.
