[@TopSider5]

Hey Matt! Fellow previous FedEx driver here, I recently got my CDL class A. I am loving it! Good luck to you brother!

[@matthewp9740]

You just gave me more motivation!!! I have my test in a few days! Hopefully I pass!!!

[@TopSider5]

@matthewp9740 You got this man! Just take your time and remember that it's not a race

[@user-dh5lx9wf3g]

Dude u have a kid we totally understand. Very informative, thx and blessings bud

[@shshshaa9114]

My homie reffered to 160 lol so funny u talking about its where he got his class A and he making bank right now.

[@matthewp9740]

It’s a sign 🪧 lol 😂 I hope to be like your homie here in a few months making that bank!!!💰

[@MeltonRodriguez]

I wonder if your cheat sheet also explains that about the alternator, if you want the correct way just read the back of the book on the BMV that you get 160 is half-assed Mrs everything

[@Outsource206]

Good luck Matthew u will do! 👍 Good

[@matthewp9740]

Thank you!! I hope so!!🤞🏼

[@edwinro77]

[@matthewp9740]

Thank you!! Hopefully I start trucking soon!!!!

[@eternalearthfairy8595]

wow thanks. i going to look into having a company pay for my classes to.

It’s open up more doors for you if you don’t want to drive Amazon no more. Even driving US food tucks good. FedEx is not bad as well in the bigger trucks

I’m thinking about getting my hazmat and tankers!!!!

[@matthewp9740]

@@tmc8516 yes that’s what I hope I do soon!!

[@alexissrodriguez8003]

That’s probably the only thing stopping me from getting my CDL 😢 all the quizzes and test and feel overwhelmed of what if I don’t pass and start over :/

[@matthewp9740]

Start off slow. Take it one step at a time and it will be worth it!

[@hurt1704]

Damn you won’t get your cdl until January?? How many weeks is this school? Hell when I went, guys were taking their written 3 days in the first week and the rest of it was pre trip, backing, and driving. You will like having that extra time because 3 weeks was rushed if you failed your permit. Lol the first week was definitely boring, once you get out and start driving and doing things, you’ll have a good time

[@matthewp9740]

lol it’s 6 weeks in total if I pass everything 1st try, plus 2 weeks of Amazon training before I go out by myself 😳. There is a couple of holidays in the mix so I’m guessing around the new year is when I start. Thank goodness because peak would have shredded me lol 😂

[@hurt1704]

@@matthewp9740 2 weeks before you go out by yourself? That’s very very short. I got 2 months of training after school which is where you really learn and even that didn’t feel like enough

[@matthewp9740]

@@hurt1704 at least that’s what it had on the application lol I’m going to try and get as much help as I can!!

@@matthewp9740 yep. Don’t be afraid to say you aren’t ready to cut loose if you aren’t. Looking forward to the next video bro! Have fun

Trucking is a great job and lots of money 💰 in the 🏦 🏧 💳 💶 💴.

[@matthewp9740]

Yes hopefully In a couple of years I land a big job!

[@hommyalexanderyepezgrullon6545]

But man you did through Amazon? I have the CLP, DOT and ELDT by myself and I just need the practice driver/yard and get the CDL.

[@paulcornacchia5579]

Former Reginal Yes BDS enters you in the instruction Online course first week Then in yard after . Study Study Study Anazon course is not great Learn as much as you can And study You get 3 attempts If you dont pass Good luck

[@Carnius797]

How did it end up working for you?

[@matthewp9740]

Nothing yet. I’m looking for another company and school to get into. So hopefully something soon!

[@tmc8516]

So I look up the school and it’s pretty close to me I stay in San Jose. Around how much is the school? I want to pursue my CDL this summer!

[@matthewp9740]

Here in Texas it’s 5000$ so it’s pretty expensive not going to lie, Luckily Amazon is paying for my school! I would look at the reviews of that location because I’ve heard some horror stories. Look at other schools as well and compare prices and reviews. I will make a video soon on my honest thoughts on 160 driving academy.

[@mitchmac9287]

[@mitchmac9287]

Like to go through the 160 class. Even with my cdl a already

[@jackson5684]

What area u go to school in

[@tyronzaswain1778]

Do they do paid training

[@matthewp9740]

If you do the AFP-Amazon freight program they will pay you to attend school.

[@isaacaicher7660]

How much was the training school?

[@matthewp9740]

It’s over 5000$ maybe looking at 5100 in total. I wouldn’t recommend it.

[@kiwanjones855]

I have a question

[@matthewp9740]

Hey what’s up?
