Okay, you've got this driver's manual from your local DMV office and, after looking through a bit of it you get this lump in your throat. Can I really do this? I've never even driven a stick-shift car before and now I'm toying with the idea of operating a big rig.
Relax! It's only scarey when you think of it. It's not nearly that bad when you are actually DOING it. Besides, there will always be a trained professional driving instructor next to you. Just carry on with your original goal... getting that licence upgrade.
STEP 1: Read the manual to prepare for the knowledge test at DMV.
STEP 2: Do the test at DMV office and get your learner's permit.
STEP 3: Start your lessons with a reputable driving school.
That last step is the fun part. You'll go out with the instructor and learn all about doing a pre-trip inspection of the rig. It has to be deemed safe for the road every day it's out there. You'll learn how the gear-shifting process works. Then, you'll start off slowly on backroads, out of traffic, and gradually work your way into the mainstream.
You'll look in the rear-view mirror and see your "Rookie" status way back there in the dust.
Congratulations! You have become a truck driver. Now you have to practice to become a "good" truck driver
