High Praise For The High Road Training Program

Hey guys,

I just wanted to take a minute to express how impressed I am with the High Road Online Training Program.

I don't know who is responsible for creating this masterpiece but all I can say is "GENIUS".

Some of you may have been following my on-going saga and I really can't tell you how much the words of encouragement have meant to me. But encouragement only gets you so far, in the end...its all about practical application.

I have taken a lot of different kinds of classes, various training programs and taught myself many skills. I cant say how this program compares to other FREE ONLINE TRUCK DRIVER TRAINING, but I can guess it blows anything similar out of the water, if such training even exists. This should be nationally recognized as one of the best training programs anywhere. I don't know if any of you have done any of the Rosetta Stone language learning programs but they are amazing and this training is equally as good.

The bottom line is education on any level is not about regurgitating information, it is about RETAINING the information you are being taught. The way the course brings back questions from earlier modules really reinforces what you are learning, not so you REMEMBER it but so you KNOW IT!!

What is the maximum allowable width of any commercial vehicle ? 8'-6" - What is the maximum allowable height of any commercial vehicle ? 13'-6" - What is considered to be excessive speeding ? Anything over 15 m.p.h.

I know this is all rudimentary stuff and the very beginning portions of the training but the point is....I knew NOTHING about any of this stuff yesterday. Today I KNOW this stuff....period.

I know it has been mentioned and repeated throughout this forum over and over that newcomers should definitely go through the high road training and I can not express how much I emphatically agree!!

Thank you THANK YOU for this invaluable resource, I seriously can't believe it is FREE!! AMAZING

It really does tickle me to death to know how helpful and effective it is. It took a few months to build it and there's actually quite a bit more I'd like to add on to it. But it's rock solid the way it is right now and the scores people report from their testing for the CDL permit and endorsements are through the roof. Hearing those stories is what keeps motivating me to continue improving this website. I remember quite well how difficult it was to get started in trucking so anytime I can do something to make it a bit easier on everyone it's a big thrill for me.

The High Road Training Program is a awesome training tool and will be what makes the most difference in my success, I know it makes absorbing the material easier, I just need to slow down and read the questions fully before clicking my answers on the tests. I like how the halt feature works because it forces you to go back and learn. Thanks Brett

Well Brett all I can say is "Well done sir". So you are a webdesigner/trucker eh? Boy you guys are a dime a dozen. MAYBE someday....after I get a decade and a half of trucking experience under my belt there will be TWO of us. My background is in web design and I am super impressed with your work. Do you mind if I ask you what platform you built it on?? I could dig but I won't lol! Hey if you ever need any help with any thing, content creation etc let me know I would love to give back someday!!

Thanks again!

I couldnt agree more Guys!! Well Done!!!

Rob, we are finding more and more IT guys getting into trucking. Their jobs are all unraveling, and the trucking industry is like a safety net for so many un-needed workers now days. If this economy ever turns around and all the folks who have jumped into trucking because they had to find work start heading back into their prior fields of employment, we are going to be in a world of hurt for drivers. But, maybe that will be a good thing and the stagnant wages in trucking will start to rise again.

Honest when I hear the word test I start to sweat. Give me a practical application and the tools I need and I can go to town on a problem.

I can build a custom computer for the ground up and have it out perform Alienware gaming computers and would have the benchmarks to back it up and stress test the systems through a fuzzy logic program that would break most commercial grade systems. I can tell you why it works that way depending on the system configs.....

But ya know what? Throw the word test in there and I run for the hills. Not sure what it is about a test. I can pass them with flying colors. I just hate them.

But saying all that the High Road program really does make learning easy. No one should bypass the CDL study materials at all. It's worth it's weight in gold or bytes if your prefer.

Guyjax...I like your style!! Besides the Spring 2013 Macbook Pro I bought brand new last year I haven't PURCHASED a computer off the shelf since 2001!! I have SIX not including my MBP which is just in its own category of awesomeness...but my WORST Linux box is heads and shoulders above anything being sold out of the big box stores and most speacialty stops. Again my MBP being my workhorse (since it literally does EVERYTHING to cover all the bases of my multi faceted life) my main desktop windows computer leaves anything else in the dust as soon as you start comparing desktop backgrounds!!

And Old School I certainly get the point you are trying to make but as fat as my own personal situation goes...once I got to the University of Washington and was in charge of 250 seats of every design package that Autodesk had to offer I thought I was King of The Hill. My position being funded it was directly tied to the state budget and as soon as the economy took a dump my job ceased to exist. So the sour taste in my mouth just reinforced my belief that the carpet can always be pulled out from under you. I live in SEATTLE, I could hop on my mountain bike and be cruising around Microsoft main campus in about 35 minutes. I could also find any IT/CAD/Tech type job I was suited for and I could spend easily an hour and half driving each way to work and back. But I have done that for far too long. Driving two hours to work to sit there and use my talent and creativity to make SOMEONE else money makes as much sense as spending two hours to purposely drive to some random building every day to get punched in the face for 8 hours...just to drive home get some sleep and get up and do it all again the next day. Talk about insanity.

Especially considering I have worked for some real morons...guys that would literally come into my office and stare at my computer screen and breath down my neck when I know full well they would never be able to tell the difference if I was working on creating a CAD detail or design block or a production drawing or playing freaking asteroids!!

I would much rather be in control of my own destiny, be my own supervisor...I am certain that I hold higher standards for myself than any tech firm would ever hold me to.

I would rather die with my boots on standing on my own two feet than to live on my knees. All this country needs is some more people, young and old to believe in it again and to not expect things to be handed to them and to actually understand, believe and realize that yes there are a lot of shortcuts you can take but the plain simple truth is that the American dream is right out there waiting for you...waiting for you to string together a couple days of honest hard work...followed by a few more and a few week, rinse and repeat...its not hard...its out there.

Sorry...I just ate a pretty good sized steak and I guess the red meat shakes kind of set in and I got a bit off topic..I will get off my soapbox now. But yes....that High Road Training Program is freaking awesome and worth every penny and then some!!

Now if the High Road program could be put to other uses......hmm I don't know. Maybe how to be a stock market genius or how to get rich in 10,000 little steps then we would be on a roll but for not it's perfect for its purpose.

The bottom line is education on any level is not about regurgitating information, it is about RETAINING the information you are being taught. The way the course brings back questions from earlier modules really reinforces what you are learning, not so you REMEMBER it but so you KNOW IT!!

I agree totally.
