You made my point better than I ever could with my tool box metaphor.Our new feeder drivers go to a hub near here and go through 2 weeks of feeder training at the end of which they take their CDL test. Our center does not offer tuition assistance to pt hourly employees.
I got my CDL the old fashion way. I just went into the DMV and took the written test. When I passed that I came back with a big truck and took the driving test. But I was around big trucks at a young age... And had access to them at my own leisure. I never had any formal training. I just had older people that taught me the basics.
