High Road Training/ My BRAIN Hurtsssss!! ;)

Hi All:) UGGGGG..doin the High Road Training Program..Good stuff!! Thankful for it for sure...My POOR brain! lol....Hoping to take the exam to get permit approx. January 4...So I'm pacing myself. It's a LOT to take in but wanna make sure I understand what I read . I'm NO mechanic tho. THis is hard for me cause I am more of a hands on learner! I can do it tho!! Thankful for the experiences I read about here ..Good to see there are others like me..starting over Not watching my grammar whatsoever here... ..Good luck to everyone no matter where you are in your journey..KaSandra

Do the High Road Training Program as it's designed and you'll have no problems. I went through it twice and did very well for my written tests. It's a lot of info at once, but keep at it and it gets easier. You don't have to be a mechanic! Trust me, I'm not mechanically inclined, but I know enough to do a safe pre-trip. You'll learn enough to get the job done and be safe.

Take it a little bit at a time. I would usually do 3-4 pages at a time then take a break for a few hours then do a little more. I don't think I did more than 10 pages in a day though.

also don't skip around cause you'll get stuff that references earlier pages which if you skipped will make it harder to learn the other stuff. I only skipped the passenger section cause I have no interest in any of that.

Thank you for the replies...:) I am doing 5 pages at the beginning of the day and then 5 at the end. I broke it down to approx what I need to do each day to take my permit test hopefully next week..I may go thru it a second time meaning go thru the quizzes a second time before I take exam...~KaSandra

That's how I completed a majority of the High Road, and I am proud to boast about the helpfulness of the High Road Program.

Just keep telling yourself that you can do it, KaSandra. Now it's your turn :-)

Keep up the good work!

Sounds like your on the right path to be successful in getting your CDL. One thing I learned which most probably had it down by 5th grade lol, that is that its a lot easier to learn something and retain it then to try and just remember the stuff. I did that all through school until I went to a community college at the age of 40. My professor was the one that brought that to my attention. I was struggling and at some points I felt like my brain was on over load. So instead of memorizing I took the time and started learning the material that was given to me. To me thats how Brett has this CDL training set up, to learn and retain instead of memorizing. If you take time to learn and retain its alot better on the brain. One thing I have learned as I am studying the info here and taking the quizes is not to study till my brain feels over loaded. I study till I feel like a good walk would do me good. Another thing I do and to some it might sound odd but I went to Walmart and bought a big rig with trailer that the hood opens and I can see every part that I need to know, and believe it or not that little truck will teach one more then what ya think. Anyways have fun with studying and this site is the one site that will help you become successful in your quest to become a Professional Freight Relocator. Happy New Years...

wow..thank you for the encouragement.:) .I'm pretty much winging it on my own right now. I do agree with you about not just memorizing but learning. If I don't understand something I go back over it. And yeah, I study until I feel like I need some sort of break..or until I notice smoke coming outta my ears,lol.. I might honestly check into that truck thing at Walmart. Thank you again~ KaSandra
