Our big truck sleepers is where we retreat to when we are not in the driver's seat. We spend time waiting to be loaded and unloaded where many companies have little more than a restroom for drivers convenience so the sleeper is where we entertain ourselves. It is here where we try to make life as a trucker feel a little more like home. Most driver will have tv/dvd players, Play stations or some other gaming systems. Some will bring along their guitars or other instruments. Some drivers take it more seriously than others but every driver will add some personal touch when he or she moves in.

Trucking Schools
(Summary)
The trucking school that is most suitable for you will depend upon your situation and location.
If there is a community college near you that may be the best way for you to get your CDL. The program will be under the evaluation of the education system and the cost should be cheaper than private schools.
You also won't have to pay back the trucking companies for training you for free. However, if you have to get free training at a trucking company, nothing wrong with that either, just know what you are signing. Also know that in most cases you WILL owe them money if you don't work for them for a certain amount of time afterwards.
Ask questions...
How long will you have to drive for them to pay off the training? What is the penalty for breaking contract? If possible, don't break the contract.
