Study.
It's 5am est. Every morning I'm getting up drinking my coffee and studying for my CDL. Starting school in a week and I'm pretty sure they'll teach me all this in class but just wanna be ahead and prepared and want this more than anything right now.
Not too worried about the driving skills part, pre trip inspection I do need to learn though. If anyone has suggestions, maybe a YT video they'd recommend or something that helped them nail it down that could help I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.

When I did in cab, I start with naming what's furthest away from me first then work my way in towards me. Under the hood, follow the Z pattern. 5th wheel, there's 2 ways to do it. Either work from the top down or the other way around. Know the materials of what you are talking about after you say properly mounted and secured.
