From 6:00 am in the morning to about 8:00 pm at night you will have a lot of traffic. 3:00 pm rush hour begins and doesn't settle down until 8:00 pm; most big cities are like this.

The instructors Truck driving school will no doubt teach you about some of their experiences during the class. Until you get out on the road you won't really know the reality of what they are talking about.
