On this episode of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac welcomes back longtime contributor and friend of the show Jane Jazrawy of CarriersEdge for another edition of Education Station, the segment where we explore how the trucking industry is preparing the next generation of professional drivers.

This time, the focus is on test and performance anxiety. A real barrier for many aspiring drivers. Jane and Jimmy discuss how symptoms like panic, procrastination, and racing thoughts can derail even the best-prepared students. More importantly, they explore practical strategies for both drivers and instructors to reduce stress and build confidence. From relaxation techniques and healthy routines to mock tests, study aids, and teaching for understanding, not just the test.

Plus, they dig into how conditions like ADHD and dyslexia can make the process harder, and what instructors can do to provide support without compromising standards.

If you're passionate about building better drivers, this conversation is for you.
