Profile For DD

Being in school myself, I know what you're feeling. after about the 4th time using the clutch for backing and my knee feels like it's about to bend the other way! My co-student (male) is just zipping through the exercises like a thirty year veteran. Use your co-students. Ask them what they're doing that you're not. Nobody wants to see another student fail, and besides, you're all in it together.

Thank you for your honesty, Starcar. I am looking forward to some time alone, but eventually will be looking forward to letting new people into my life. Your story is inspiring Thanks again

Do you have opportunity to form relationships with people in this job? I mean as in friends?

Yes, I am in school at BOCES. On Monday, we actually get to start the truck!!!!

Just wanted to thank Brett and the others involved in the online CDL program. I used it before I went to school, and am I ever glad I did! I would have been totally lost in class without it! I have my permit in my hot little hand!

Wow, Linda, we're like the same age going to school on the same day and both beginners!!! You obviously are not alone! We'll be fine! Good luck to us!

Thanks for the replies, they sure helped put my mind at ease.

Thanks for responding. I agree about getting some experience before winter, but it would be nice to get some snow practice with someone sitting next to me for guidance! Do you have to put chains on the tires? I am taking the online class and am learning soooooo much.

Hello, I am going to be starting driving school in July. I am very interested in how the trucks handle in the snow. I've got 30 years (you can't see me, make that 10 years) experience in Western New York weather, so I can just imagine what it is like in the mountains.
