Questions On Book Work
Topic 7460 | Page 1
Hey, Martin, Welcome to Trucking Truth.
When you say "book work" do you mean book studying to get your CDL , or book work on the road, as in Driver Logs and such?
The High Road Training Program makes book studying a breeze. (Yes, there's much to learn but the question part keeps you from forgetting things.)
As for on-the-road book work, there's always the Driver Log that you fill out, a legal document. Also papers going with the shipment, most often the Bill of Lading and maybe a Manifest. Then the trucking company (your boss) needs receipts for fuel, tolls and scales, etc.
So, which book work iceberg are you talking about?
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.
Manifest:
Bill of Lading
An accurate record of everything being shipped on a truck, often times used as a checklist during unloading.

The HIGH ROAD TRAINING PROGRAM, kicks butt ALL OVER the other tutorials I've seen (and USED) and best of all - IT'S FREE. And the course is programmed to give REINFORCEMENT on your "weak spots". It will circle back to review questions, and "halt" you, in seriously weak spots - to drill those even further.
You don't want a "cheat sheet" - you're way better off actually LEARNING THE MATERIAL - than MEMORIZING ANSWERS.
On "multiple choice logic" type tests, simple "answer memorization" can mess you up - because you just "glance at the question" - see an answer you KNOW (think) is correct - and jump on it without fully reading the question. And that's where "memorizers" get tripped up.
As far as I know (at least in Florida) - there are no HOS/LOGBOOK questions on the "General Knowledge" test.
While this is something that is taught in CDL School, and certainly in any Company School - it's not required (to my knowledge) to pass a DMV CDL Test (written or skills). When you take your DRIVING TEST - the examiner is NOT going to ask to see your log book.
