Inside a big rig is like the cockpit of a airplane to a pilot. This is the center of operations in a trucker's life. Every manufacturer does it a little different but they all attempt to make the set up from the dash to the sleeper convenient and logical. Some truckers are so into their big rigs that they will get every chrome accessory available. Now that's trucker pride!

Big rigs come i various sizes. From day cabs with no bunks to extended frames with a long wheel base. As a beginning trucker, you truck will be average and set up for efficiency. Most companies will give you the size and type of rig needed to do the job comfortably. As time goes on and companies compete for drivers, they will push up standards in features of the inside of the truck. Premium trucking companies will also use big rigs with a little floss to them.
You will see some of these upgraded big rigs on the highway if you pay attention to the shine.

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.
