Is truck driving school hard?

I just enrolled in a program to get my CDL, but I’m worried that I’m not cut out for it. Is truck driving school difficult?

Congratulations on taking the first step toward a new career! While trucking driving school can be hard, the rewards are worth it.
As for earning your CDL, anyone with a
clean driving record
can do it so long as they:
  • Study for the written examination. Just because you’re driving a truck doesn’t mean that you don’t need book smarts. Be sure to take practice tests before taking the actual exam.
  • Be willing to learn. No one goes into a new profession knowing it all. Be ready to pick up new skills and ask veteran truckers questions.
  • Stay positive. You’re going to make mistakes. Just remember that messing up is part of the learning process, and try to turn mistakes into a learning opportunity.
If you’re willing to put in the work and listen to your instructors, then there shouldn’t be any problem passing truck driving school with flying colors.
