Thanks, I will be more active here posting-wise as I get more in the process. I do stay current as a reader though for sure. Long and safe driving career is indeed the goal!

Way to go Sandman!! It is such a huge help isn’t it. I got mine that way also. Still had to sit through ELDT class, but boy does having it take the stress out.
I especially loved the review function. Hose up one section or another and it makes you answer questions surrounding it till you get it.
Took all endorsements in one shot too. Thanks TT. I’m in training now—so really green as well. Anyhow..
Now on to all that fun stuff Sandman. Climbing into that big truck and having the time of your life learning.
One tip—if you have problems picking up Pretrip / backing / cornering / shifting a manual / [insert problem here] - search this forum and you will find answers to what you struggle with.
For me—I read every backing post I could come across. By the time I read Kearsey’s excellent posts on the matter, I felt way less scared… (she does that to me lol)…
In school, remember—it’s only a cone, it will pop right back up if you hit it.
There’s a huge list of blog posts, lists, pics, etc in here - even a book on pretripping you can print & send to Kinko’s. Pretrip by Daniel.
Sorry—cannot do links on phone.
So—welcome! Learning right alongside you.
Good job. Congratulations!
Thanks for the encouraging words. I soak so much up reading yours and everyone's journeys on here. I've always been amazed that you all can do such fantastic journals while in training, and it's my goal to try to do the same, but we'll see. It's an amazing feeling knowing I'll have a lifeline with this site for anything that comes up out there, that will make it less scary when the time comes!

Sandman;
The journals on TT are priceless. Simply put, nothing another forum in the US can attest to have shared. These diaries are real, factual, and actual. Brett designed this site just for that; so people can pay forward what they've gleaned, within.
You'll do great, with your gumption! Here's what Lil' Red is talking about; Mountain Matt had this bound into bookstyle as well, prior to heading out to Wilson. Pictures of the finished product in his diary, LoL !
Don't get the cart before the horse, however; continue on with the HRTP !!

A pre-trip inspection is a thorough inspection of the truck completed before driving for the first time each day.
Federal and state laws require that drivers inspect their vehicles. Federal and state inspectors also may inspect your vehicles. If they judge a vehicle to be unsafe, they will put it “out of service” until it is repaired.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
