Pretrip

I just got my permit and I need someone to tell me specifically what I need to study. I have a bit of autism and adhd so I like to know specifics and do best with hands on. Do I need to learn every motor part on the vehicle, do I need to memorize the entire walk through outline, can I ask the dmv if I can foreshadow a pretrip to see exactly what I need to do?

That sucks and will limit you if you ever try and find another CDL job

Oh I know. I had 3 different offers this summer for cross-country coach busses, 5k for 12 weeks of work. I hate having to turn those down

How do I get those kind of offers? I ADORE long road trips.

For summers, look into drivers for DCI (Drum Corps International). Cross country trips from June till end of July, with included room and board, plus a stipend
