The Professional Driver Graduate Course

New Issue ... ... ... Advance Release ... ... ... First Edition You're a truck driver student / recent graduate, with no experience, now what? Or you're a trucking instructor / trainer (or soon to be one) and you want to be the best, but nobody has shown you how. How about if you've been driving cars for years but still wonder why do trucks do some of the things they do? Or you're starting to learn how to drive a car, or teach someone else, and you're not sure what's going on with those huge trucks out there. What's the best way to stay out of trouble in an environment where everyone "must" get along, or someone dies? As a new truck driving student / graduate you are keenly aware that "no experience equals no job." Would you want to be the first patient for a dentist right out of school, no experience yet? I didn't think so. You'll have to "ride with" someone with more experience to get started. Or, on the flip side, you are the one with "more experience" and you want to do a good job with a "newbie" under your wing, but how do you translate your knowledge to the student? For experienced car drivers, being around "big rigs" can be a blessing and a curse. Mostly the curse part, but why is that? What are they doing around you, and why? And that thought is really bad if you are just starting to drive a car, moving around with all of those huge trucks around you. Even if you're teaching someone in a car how to drive, how do you "safely" teach that person the best way to interact with not just huge trucks but everyone on the road? How's it feel to have something like your CDL (Commercial Driver License) and, right now, worth "not too much?" You've spent a lot of time / money to get what? A good starting place, right? And that's good, except it's hard to translate that into the "better life," isn't it? Hard to justify, especially if you have a family, wife, kids, all depending on you, and right now you've got nothing to show except "tomorrow will be better." Eats at you, right? And similar feelings are as true for new instructors, too. Always the "What's next and how to make it better" questions / thoughts, right? Experienced car drivers will constantly feel "dominated" by those larger vehicles out there, with questions like "What's going on with these guys?" Compound than to a greater degree of "fear" and you have the feelings that a fresh car-driving student realizes, hopefully not up close and personal, where it gets real dangerous, real fast. A large retailer has been advertising "first year drivers earn $82,000,"; the national average is $50,000-$60,000. Your CDL certainly beats burger-flippin'! You've definitely earned the way to a better life! You can see your family on the path to a better future, right? The same goes for professional instructors, too. Not only more money, but a continued, progressive path forwards and up, as far as you want to go, maybe the CEO of a trucking company itself; it happens all the time! Remember (this comes from years of statistical confirmation): two of the most in-demand professions, want ads never stop begging for employees: nurses and truck drivers! And that won't change! In a car, having to "live-with" monster trucks on the road can become a welcome partnership-on-the-highway with the right explanation. That goes "double" for new car drivers as they begin to understand / co-exist with all vehicles early in their learning curve; it's easier "to teach" than "re-teach." Do what you've been doing. Change and learn nothing. Hope for the best. Or you can do what I did, over thirty years: learn, digest, improve, etc. Do you want to take thirty years to improve your family life when there's a shorter way to get where you want to be? Need to be? For less than a dinner-out, click on "Look-Inside" to read the beginning of your solution, or simply click the Buy Now button to change your life for the better, starting today, right now! Thanks and be safe out there!
