Starting School Tomorrow(first Post)

Hey all my name is Jim I am starting truck school tomorrow. Spent 8 yrs in the AF driving firetrucks so I have an idea of what a pre trip inspection to include airbrakes will be like however It stops there.

I have already read the CDL manual and got tired of highlighting. I have also been preparing by taking the valuable tests of the internet to include the gen. knowledge test and airbrakes tests. I am doing very well. But anyway tomorrow will begin what I hope to be a fun and rewarding career in the trucking industry.

I start tomorrow as well

Well Woo hO! to you two! I am a bundle of nerves for you! Best of luck, you will do great!!

Yes but............how many of them had the support and knowledge from TT!!? You got it in the bag, grab it! It's done, you already succeeded! See how I did that? That was for you and me I will be going soon!!! Eek.

Just remember that you can be your own worst enemy if you allow yourself. SO, slap the crap out of you and straighten up! Who has been posting on here and telling people what a great site this is? who has taken the HRTP ? and most important, who has the backing of everyone here on this site? YOU!!!!!! Keep positive thoughts, do your very best and believe in yourself! Don't let others influence your future, you are the boss!! Think of it this way, there are 20 less guys to be in your way of getting into your truck!!

Why do I read about a lot of negativity towards truck schools? I hope I am not wrong but I don't see where it will be hard for me. I am not trying to be ****y I am just stating that I have already begun studying, so the next two weeks will be reinforcement. I am good hands on so I am more excited than nervous to get started

Hm. Well, sometimes it's hard and sometimes it's just tiring, which makes it feel tougher. It's a little bit of an emotional roller-coaster, going through it because maybe, you don't always know where you stand or whether the mistakes you made today are going to carry over to tomorrow. So, you have to pick yourself up and try again. It takes some energy, self-confidence, and support to do.

That's why we're here for one another.

And it's great ...totally awesome that you're more excited than nervous. That's the way to be! GO for it!

Lol its funny I too start tomorrow, and my bundle of nerves is making it hard to sleep so there's only one answer...time here on TT. I have no doubts both of you will do well, all the researching, previous experiences, even the secret weapon of High Road Training Program cant compare to what we have access to that few do, a positive supportive atmosphere here at TT. So while I will be thinking of you all and wishing future successes your way when I sit down to class tomorrow, I also wanted to thank Brett and everyone here for the wonderful community on top of the great site.
