Hello. I’m Nick. I’m new to this group.
As I consider a Truck Driver career, I was thinking about going to a truck driver school to get one-on-one training.
Yet I did want to find out from you much more experienced drivers, what are the best types of trucks to have experience in driving?
I read about one school that teaches (as part of the curriculum), how to drive a 10 speed truck. They said in many cases there is not much of a need to know how to drive a 10 speed truck, but if a person knows how to drive a 10 speed truck, then a person should be able to drive any truck out there without any problems . . . thus making it probably easier to get jobs, due to having the skills and knowledge to drive all types of trucks. So if learning how to drive a 10 speed truck might be of big value (sooner or later), I want to learn in the beginning. Yet it would be great to learn all of the basic trucks I should learn how to drive as a new Truck Driver.
What are your thoughts?
