Us old road dogs are just afraid we'd wash out of trucking school
Personally, I'd find something to argue about with the trainers...like double clutching
my ex who has been in a truck for 11 yrs didnt know half of what I was talking about. My problem is I am on brain overload. I got all this info stuck in my brain and cant use it.
Double Clutch:
To engage and then disengage the clutch twice for every gear change.
When double clutching you will push in the clutch, take the gearshift out of gear, release the clutch, press the clutch in again, shift the gearshift into the next gear, then release the clutch.
This is done on standard transmissions which do not have synchronizers in them, like those found in almost all Class A trucks.

Ya know what I would love to do? I'd love to go through some of the company-sponsored programs without them knowing who I am or what my experience is. I'd just love to see how things are done at the different companies. We get a lot of great feedback here from students, and I even created a section of the forum called "training diaries" so people can document their experiences for others to learn from.
But there's no substitute for being there as a student. That would be fascinating.

Eeek, I don't think could go through company training again. I would literally beat down some of these instructors. And then I'd get in trouble for telling the new drivers to check the fifth wheel to make sure it has enough grease on it. "Just rub you're hand over it to make sure!" One blackened, greasy hand later...
