Well,got started the last week of week 1 out of 4 with cdl training. So far so good. The only thing out of the training i had a problem with is the daily trip log book. That can be a real touchy thing if your not right on. So this next week, week 2 will be busy week i am sure. The instructor has already told us to start thinking very seriously about putting our applications in with a trucking company. So again, i ask for some feed back from my fellow short and long time truck drivers for your opinion. They did give us a book,called bumper to bumper,the complete guide to tractor trailer operations. I have gotten half way through the book,and will say it is very knowledgeable and informative. So with that,will keep in touch and let all know how week 2 will go. Thanks much,Gary
