I’m a new driver, got my cdl around mid December. I’m still on a truck with a trainer. I’ve got about 2 or 3 weeks left before I move to my own truck and I’m stressing I’m not gonna be ready. I keep making really stupid mistakes (like braking too hard or forgetting to turn off my jakes) I feel like I should be past by now. My trainer has 18 years of experience and not much of a filter. He told me if he honestly thought I shouldn’t be in this line of work he’d tell me and I do believe him but I just can’t shake the anxiety. I realize that messing up in this job could result in people dying and it feels overwhelming at times. I don’t know if I’m just being too hard on myself or what. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
