I've been around big trucks for 26 years. I've only up until now held a B class CDL. Non combination vehicle, no weight restriction, air brakes......
About two years ago I decided to learn how to drive an tractor trailer on my own. Basically get the feel for them here in the yard where I work. I have five trucks here and there is always the need to switch doors or drop and hook. It really didn't take too long to get real good at backing one in. Fortunately, school is not required to bump up to an A class.
I could not imagine being in a position where I had to pay for truck driving school. The guys that go through that still come out with zero experience. It's impossible to find a good job with zero experience.
