High Road Training Question

I`ve been on this awsome site for alittle over a year doing research and I`m finally going to pull the trigger and get the ball rolling.I`ve got my school picked out and a small hand full of companies that I`m intrested in(flatbedding).I started the High Road Training that Brett and Old school suggested that i do first.My question is can i just do the High road without using the permit manual? How long does it take to complete the High road,I`m on rules and regulations and i see that there is 118 pages? just want to know for time managment.I`m planning to keep doing the High Road over and over till I get an 100 on everything,also getting all of my endorsements . Thank you everyone and be safe out there.

Ron, I recommend that you take your time and work your way through that program at a measured pace, maybe spend an hour or two a day on it. There is a lot of material in there and if you work at it like I suggested I think it will take you a couple of weeks to get through it. You will be so over prepared for your tests that you will be amazed at how easy they seem when you take them.

My question is can i just do the High road without using the permit manual?

You certainly can, and it will b e a lot more enjoyable than reading that thing! I never cracked mine open, and many others have done the same. You will retain the material so well by using the High Road Training Program that you really won't need that state training booklet. Occasionally there will be a slight difference from state to state on some minor things, but it will never be enough to cause you a failure on the exams.

One of the real world advantages to using the High Road Training Program is that at times the questions are worded in what could be a confusing way if you're not paying good attention to what the question is really asking. This is often times done in the state exams, and it will really pay off if you are already accustomed to these types of questions. You always want to be on the alert when the word "not" is in the question. Some times they are asking you which of the following is not the proper procedure for this or that and then they will offer three of the right ways and only one wrong way - this kind of stuff is put in there to make sure you are taking your time, paying attention, and that you really do know your stuff.

Best of luck to ya! You'll be so glad you did that training program, it is a real help for most folks who go through it.

Thank you again old school Yes I see what you are saying about the "not" in some of the questions,it got my on two questions and won`t make that mistake again.I`ve been setting 2 hours a day for me to study.

I just got my class A permit yesterday. The High Road training program definitely helped a lot. I've been spending about an hour everyday on it for the past couple weeks - not always signed in so my progress isn't up to date but I got to a point where I was comfortable with the material. But I should tell you, DON'T RUSH THROUGH LEARNING THE MATERIAL. Really learn it and pay attention to the information emphasized in the program. Understanding the material is how you learn your stuff so you can deal with the weird wordings and tricky questions on the actual tests.

Yesterday I got off work early and decided to just drop by the DMV and go for it. Figured I could flip through the actual cdl manual while waiting. Unfortunately, there were no copies left in English. There were only Spanish versions

Considering how I have only gone up to intermediate Spanish in school, I was struggling to get a lot out of it. So that could have been a big contributing factor in terms of "enjoyable" reading but, I can say that it seemed like those books could loose a few pages of filler information you don't need to know.

I aced the air brakes test and missed 1-4 questions each on the others. Took 8 tests in all for the learning permit, some renewals, and the endorsements I wanted... it was a lot, so naturally I made a few bonehead mistakes I could have caught if I just took another second to think about it. Some questions I didn't get because I didn't read or understand enough of the Spanish manual. So it would be better if you fully commit to the High Road program then go over your state cdl manual. Your state may have a few different rules/regulations that you may need to know.

I should clarify... the high road program was THE REASON I passed. Not knowing the state specific stuff cost me only a few questions.

Hey graig thanks alot,for sure Iam going to take my time,I usually do 2 hrs a day,planning on doing that for the next 6 weeks.

I used the high road before going for my permit for school and only missed 4 on general and zero on combination and air brakes.

If your state lets you skip questions, do so, no need to guess and guess wrong which causes you to fail.
