High Road Training And My Journey To CLP
Topic 19911 | Page 1
So, I started studying the HRT program here on TruckingTruth several days ago. I read sections required for the permit and answered all the questions. Finished it up and went in for my test today. Passed General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Combi with plenty of room to spare. A lot of the questions were different than the practice questions, but I was able to think through them based on the knowledge pounded into my head by the HRT. Quite a few questions were insta-wins even so, looking exactly like the practice questions I had answered during HRT.
The real value of HRT is the repetition and addition model. It asks the same stuff over and over until it's just embedded in your brain. And the areas you're having trouble with, it lets you know right away so you can study it on the spot.
It paid off. I saw very few questions where I felt truly clueless and generally felt comfortable with the material on the test. HRT ftw. It works. I do not believe I would have done as well just by studying the paper manual alone.
This is SO true. I am a High Road Training Program success story also. Whenever I get residence established and have my hard copy CDL , I am going to put a passenger endorsement on there also.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
