Greetings y'all
I tried to post his question on reddit and didn't get a single reply, not sure why. I've been hauling cars with no CDL for about a month now. Pulling a Big Tex A20 trailer, I believe is 51'. I some times park next big rigs just to see how much longer they are compared to mine.
Is that a good way to train or should I go thru the 3 months of training offered by Schneider or swift?
Hotshot to prep for 18 wheeler?

So I'm in Houston . I have a class A permit. I went thru a really cheap school, only 2 hours of straight backing, 2 hours offset, 2 hours parallel and 2 hours road driving.
They give you 3 chances to pass at the DPS. First chance I failed the pretrip inspection. Second chance i passed the inspectionion (memorized the whole effing thing) passed the backing, offset and parallel, but ran over a curb and failed during the road test (first turn coming out of the DPS
) third chance, my medical card expired just 2 days before so i didn't even get to test all.
I can probably pass if i pay the School another $200 to give me the truck for another try, but at that point over 2 months had passed i ran outta money and had a bunch of stacked bill. Getting a job was a must.Chinatown Thanks this. -
