>>1918557I'd say, before I went to tech school to be a mechanic, the hardest part of getting my CDL was the pre-trip because I simply had no fucking idea what I was looking at under the hood, nor what anything was called.
And, no, 'pitman jawn' won't fly.
> I feel so nervous around truckers, it's so dangerousYour gf is right about that. Isolated men, far from home, and sex starved. Other truckers are the most selfish and uncaring people you'll ever meet, thank god youre a dude. (I assume.)
My company PAM had to pay out oodles of hush money because our trainers kept raping the female trainees, which are required to live in the truck with the trainer for two weeks.
I have personal stories, but ya don't really need em.
Whatever you do, just make sure you don't get into a mill company that will front you any money for trucking school
Here's my truck in a ditch cause my trainer only had 8mo experience we did 0 back ups in those two weeks on the road, lol
But if you say you have a gf, just know when it was fun, it was a BLAST, and when it wasn't, I was like crying for no reason being lonely and on the road for 2mo stretches.
Make sure it's for you.
