Starting local school Monday, looking for tips and advice.
Just want to thank everyone again for the replies and advice. Got through the first week of school, got my permit, and hit the yard. First time ever in a rig, and it was fun! Really enjoying the adventure so far, I'll keep everyone updated. So far only concern i have is the 90 back. For some reason i struggled with that one, the other 2 no real problem, any tips would be appreciated. Everyone have a Merry Christmas!

Hi all, I have been on the site for while, reading, studying high road, and just taking everything in while considering trucking as a career. I'm 43 years old, good driving record and this will be my second career(hopefully the last). My wife actually suggested trucking and after being in retail for 15+ years I was ready for something new. So, I am heading to a local school this week, and would appreciate any and all tips and advice everyone has for getting my cdl and doing well in this industry. It's a bit overwhelming but I want to be successful, so any and all advice is welcome, thanks in advance. Love the site by the way, very helpful with the study guides and high road training!
