So I'll start with, we don't own a HDT, yet - but it's a planned purchase soon. We've been to a few rallys and we even got a chance to drive one the Parking lot in Hutchinson. Thanks!
I know I can get a Class A permit (we live in Texas), buy an HDT and then take the driving course, but I was thinking about taking a Professional Truck Driving course at the local college. What I would like to get out of it is the experience and confidence to drive an HDT - regardless of the traffic conditions.
My kids both took a Performance Driving Experience when they were learning to drive and I know they are better drivers because of it. I'm looking for something similar.
I'm sure they will teach portions I'm not interested in like the Federal DOT rules and driving logs, but my mind is already cluttered with useless facts, so a bit more won't hurt.
I'm on the fence over this and I'm looking for thoughts and opinions.
