Hey Jeremiah...here's a breakdown of our High Road Training Program:
To Get Your CDL Permit:
To get your CDL endorsements which are optional but we highly recommend you get:
And two sections we've built ourselves with info you'll need for everyday life on the road but the manual doesn't really cover it:
A pre-trip inspection is a thorough inspection of the truck completed before driving for the first time each day.
Federal and state laws require that drivers inspect their vehicles. Federal and state inspectors also may inspect your vehicles. If they judge a vehicle to be unsafe, they will put it “out of service” until it is repaired.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
A written or electronic record of a driver's duty status which must be maintained at all times. The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty. The enforcement of the Hours Of Service Rules (HOS) are based upon the entries put in a driver's logbook.
A vehicle with two separate parts - the power unit (tractor) and the trailer. Tractor-trailers are considered combination vehicles.
Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
Thanks I'm going to study it all I was just making sure about the double and triple.
I was wondering if I need to read the whole high road to take my permit test I'm not getting anything but tanker right now and HME later after my prime training. Like will log book questions be on the test.
Along with the sections you need to know be sure to study each section because they will also bring up questions from different sections randomly during the test. It's best to get all the endorsements while you are in "testing mode" because it took 16 years before I got my tanker and doubles and triples endorsements because there was always an excuse I came up for not getting them. Get them now and get them out of the way.
