Be a Lifelong Learner

So you found your school, great!  Now it's time to study and work hard to get a license so you will be ready for your real training.  Wait you're going to school.  Won't they teach you what you need to know?  The answer here is no. They are going to teach you what you need to know to get a license.  That's it folks.   They might teach you about a few less well know laws and the occasional trucking story that will have some merit to it.  Learning to drive is your trainer's job at your first starter company.  They will be the ones to teach you all the finer points of doing the job.  Take it from me, there's a lot more to be learned.  We learn more every single day we are out here.  The learning never stops.  Just when you think you have seen it all some thing new comes along.  If you already are saying "I know how to drive.  I do not need to learn anything else."  Then please go find another job before someone gets killed.  I like going home to my family as do a lot of other drivers I know.  Being a know it all hot shot is extremely dangerous on the road.   Those are the people that give us a bad name and get others killed. That is enough for now good luck on those licenses.
