Product Description
A severe shortage of trained tractor-trailer drivers faces the trucking industry and the nation. Trucking: Tractor-Trailer Driver Handbook/Workbook, 2nd edition and its ancillaries can help solve this problem by providing a comprehensive and turnkey curriculum for tractor-trailer driver training. Written in an easy-to-read, straightforward style, the new edition delivers not only the technical content drivers need to know but also teaches the procedures that, with practice, will enable the student to become a skilled driver. This book stresses the importance of developing the traits and behaviors that characterize true professionals, as tractor-trailer drivers are placed in the unique position of being entrusted with expensive equipment and cargo, as well as representing the industry to the public at large. Good health and safety practices that drivers should follow for success on the job are also covered.

Doesn't Provide Answer Key July 29, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is a great resource, however its value is limited because there is no answer key for the workbook. The publisher says that the only way to get the answers is to spend $104.95 on the instructors CD. This really should be stated up front before people buy this book and learn the hard way.
poor edit skills August 1, 2003

This book has some huge errors. The writting in this text seems as if a differant person wrote every paragraph. As an instructor, this is very frustrating. I've had many a student request the chance to string the writer up by the neck. For example, it asks to discribe a van body but has no discription of it in the book. Trust me, I've looked. It also displays insulated and petro tankers, and then proceeds to label them incorrectly. I beleive, either the writter is a little slow in the head, or the editor needs to find a new job. The first addition of this text had errors too, but the second edition only got worse. To bad for me, I haven't yet found another text book that covers this information to the degree needed in a classroom setting. Maybe next time the editor will be awake while he/she is working.
