    Enjoy the ride. It will be what it will be and is always a great place for people-watching. Just be careful.

    I think we're going to be on the same bus, Buckeye! If your bus stops for a few at Bloomington-Normal, IL, then it's the same bus. The same route, at least. COuld be the layover at Champaign-Urbana, too.

    why do we need tankers? i mean i understand they pull tankers but it is my understanding you have to have a year experience to even get into tanker division?

    Yes, you do need a tanker endorsement. The larger palletized liquid totes that they load into reefers (and sometimes on flatbeds) require that you have a tanker endorsement to pull the load.

    that makes a little bit more sense, went for my general knowledge today, and the test on this website was very close to the ncdmv's test, with the exception of a couple of questions about stupid buses
