Women living a truckers life by: The Crazy Trucker
Hi Danielle,
Women handles certain tasks better than men because a man wll already have preconceived notion of how to drive the truck.
A woman is likely to be open minded to absorb all the information and follow instruction closely. Since women do follow steps closely they may also show better skills of driving after instruction. However just like men, all women aren't the same.
I feel with the questions your asking that you shouldn't worry about picking up the material. You are eager to learn and smart enough to pay attention, the material is not that hard anyone can learn it if they pay attention. You will do fine.
I have heard some good things about England's school but i can't comment first hand on England. I went to Alliance.
Just know that if a company trains you for free that you will be required to work for that company for a certain period of time or you will owe the company for the training they provide (which is fair). The horror stories mostly come from drivers who didn't ask questions and or read the fine print.
Since you know you will be obligated to the school for a certain period of time you need to do exactly what your doing, get recommendations for good companies that provide training and then read the conditions thoroughly about the training.
Some people pick up things well with informal instruction and some don't. I personally like formal instruction. But you may be more disciplined to remain focus. If so then as long as the person you are talking about knows how to effectively teach go ahead and get your cdl's. Then when you go to the driving class at the companies you won't owe them anything.
Hope this helped Danielle. We will have more recommendations for you soon. Be sure to visit again.
Thanks
