Doesn't Provide Answer Key,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Trucking: Tractor-Trailer Driver Handbook/Workbook (Paperback)
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,
By "shannanah" (idaho usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trucking: Tractor-Trailer Driver Handbook/Workbook (Paperback)
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.
