1st Three Months of CDL School 160 Driving Academy : Passing my CDL Driving Test

[@samuelblackwell3762]

Such a gorgeous woman, glad you're on the road.

[@blossomingjasmine.]

Thank you!🙏🏾

I’m doing exactly what you did this is my second week today on the yard at one 160 and I’m telling my instructor to just switch me to automatic because I need to get my maneuvers and pretrip in cab portion . It was too much to pack in a short period of time but I’ll take my pay that little $11 bucks to test manual.

[@blossomingjasmine.]

Congratulations 🍾, trucking is definitely challenging in the beginning. You can always get your manual restriction Removed if you desire.

If you get your CDL A LICENSE with an Automatic Transmission, you may have a Restriction on your CDL A LICENSE. Ask about this! Good luck young Lady. I went to All State Careers up in Baltimore MD to get my CDL A LICENSE in 2012. Im from Washington DC.

I’m from Philly I went to roehl .. 😅 yea it’s stressful we drove a automatic

[@Kenyanicole614]

It gets easier over time

[@naylabirden9050]

That’s good insight but you gotta stay positive at all times I am glad you are down to earth explaining this honestly people need this thanks for the insight but you should be more positive

how was trucking in amazon? how was the route and pay? im an amazon associate in kenosha trying to get into 160 driving academy this year. Keep safe.

I'm curious why you didn't just go to a CDL School? One that actually pays you to go and you don't have to worry bout working at Amazon and going to that school? Also, do you plan to work for Amazon w your CDL or another company? Does Amazon want u to come work for them?

[@blossomingjasmine.]

Thanks for the comment. I’ll answer this on an upcoming video . I’m sure others have the same question.

[@jaleesa00]

Same question

[@blossomingjasmine.]

Amazon no longer requires you stay with them . After 3 months you qualify for career choice to pay for the school . A lot of people leave after they get their CDL . I’m staying because if you can work there . You can work anywhere because they have the highest standards 😫.

[@blossomingjasmine.]

I honestly rather be local . There new program requires you to be a yard jockey and do short hall over the road . I can take off when I want and I have good benefits. But the best thing is I’m close to the thing I love the most .. my family. That is why I choose Amazon . I see OTR as living as a homeless person and I have a home I love 💕.

[@blossomingjasmine.]

It’s not required you work for them , working for them is at will and you can leave at anytime.

[@chicagosveryown3473]

How is everything going…. Your def my motivation getting through this process thank you

[@blossomingjasmine.]

I appreciate that . Thank you.

[@blossomingjasmine.]

All is going well . I’m driving for a company now I just need to create a video update since I’ve gained some experience.

[@Awareness_With_Dennis]

Is it better to go for manual or automatic transmission. I am new and want to know which is better?

[@blossomingjasmine.]

It depends on the company you will work for . Manual opens up opportunities for companies that have those type of trucks . I work for Amazon which only has automatic trucks.

[@prodigyBey1]

Does the 160 driving Academy offer local jobs?

[@blossomingjasmine.]

They have an app that is supposed to help you find jobs . I applied to Amazon which is a local job. I like it .

[@deriangueldner23]

So you get to choose between automatic or manual?

[@blossomingjasmine.]

Automatic 😅

[@blossomingjasmine.]

If you do the career choice you get to choose .. if you do TOM team you have to get an automatic license

[@beyondcomforttraveladventu1856]

​@@blossomingjasmine.Are you aware that if you "test" for the DMV/Secretary of State in a automatic truck, you will have a restriction on your license once you get it.. even tho most companies are switching over to automatic trucks and/or most of their fleets are automatic, that restriction on your license is still frowned on with many companies, and if you plan to leave and go to another company, you might not get hired because of it..
