I I started my course last week and after some class time I finally hit the range yesterday. My first day was rough, double clutching that big rig had me reconsidering my career choice. Today was my second day i felt a bit more confident and i was finally able to double clutch smoothly. I have so much respect for truckers now.

I thought it about it a lot before I entered my current field as a automotive technician. Today we watched a CDL class A driver in a 2wd dually try to negotiate a 40ft trailer through our new car lot and that did not go well at all. He really shouldn’t have passed his test

My dad is a C lass A with certifications for hauling literally anything other than people. He used it for a while as a part time weekend job, and he maintains it but doesn’t use it for a living. Just a back up so if he ever did lose his job he could always have truck driving as a fall back.

Its tough you have to be on your A game. You should do it as a back up. I also drove with the trailer a 53 and thats a whole other ballpark.

I got my class A in 2015. It was a condition of my employment at the time that I get it. I trained, tested and got it. Driving a big ass truck is fun, but I got a job back doing what I love and procrastinated renewing my medical card long enough that the state revoked my class A. I can't imagine I would have ever used it again.

I’ve thought about I’m just a class c right now. I like my current job enough but I could see myself growing out of it in a year or two and don’t feel like there’s much room f or me to move up. I’d definitely be interested to hear more, my wife is really pushing for me to do it to get ahead on our student loans and stuff, right now we just kinda scrape by.

You can make a lot of money quickly if you put the work in.
