After many long weeks my CDL schooling is coming to an end and it appears I've landed my first truck driving job. Oh happy days!
We had some interesting things today, including pulling doubles, 45 degree sight-side backing, and a new instructor for the road trip.
Day four of my journey towards becoming an Over the Road driver was rather exciting. We had a great mix of backing and some challenging driving.
Today there were several activities including speaking to a few recruiters, pre-trip inspections, backing practice, and a short trip on the highway.
Day two of week two dawned chilly and rainy. That's typical for the Northwest this time of year. Our truck driver training is moving into new areas.
So finally I got into truck driving school and started the classroom phase. Some was fun, some was boring, but then we started the yard phase.
New to the trucking industry and fresh out of a career in the computer industry, I've found a trucking school and I'm beginning my CDL classes.
