So, you have finished your three to four weeks of truck driving school, you passed all necessary exams to obtain your CDL, and now it is time to find your first job. Congratulations! Now the real work begins.



All that they really accomplish by trying to scare you is filling you with a lack of trust and loyalty towards them. Most large companies are full of drivers that have hit bridges, rolled JD Truck Training Centre, been late for deliveries, and on and on. Does this mean you won't ever get fired? Certainly not. I've been fired a few times by idiots I've never met on some committee making decisions based on little or no real facts or understanding about me or my situation.

To meet the CDL class-a requirements on your own all you have to do is go and take the CDL test at your local Secretary of State office. They will give you a written test and a practical test. The teat cost you a 100 dollars. It's cheaper than going through a school and gets you your CDL a lot faster.

Truck driving school was a challenge but I did it. I have to tell you that when I got out there in the real world to start making money there was a lot of stuff that they didn't teach me. I went right through the school of hard knocks.

What a difference we could make if each person uplifted another each day. Just like doubling a penny every day for thirty days results in several million dollars, our acts of kindness, encouragement and acknowledgment would multiply as well to touch more people that we could ever imagine, simply having the self confidence to care about others first.

First I like to point out the legal side. This is a BIG ONE. Being a truck driver is fun and you can make a lot, or a ton of money. So what do I mean legal? Because we both know that you need a CDL license to drive... When I say legal we are looking at your MVR (Motor Vehicle Record). Why is this important? If you have 1 too many violations most trucking companies will not hire you. This is what the HR Truck Licence schools do not tell you.

Now second and lastly I like to talk about your experience. Some of you may have already been in a truck and know what it is like. Others have not a clue what to expect and are eager to know. So breaking the ice of the unknown will greatly increases your chances of survival of going through the school of hard knocks.

You may be witness to historical events and not even know it. Additionally, you will have some time to spare in the cities you go, so don't worry about learning only the Hr licence sa docks, parking lots and warehouses. If you are a sociable person and you don't like routine, this job is made for you. You will never eat at the same hour. Sometimes you will not even get to sleep. But that shouldn't be a problem since you can taste new out-of-the-ordinary food every couple of days and sleep in the comfort of different hotels.
