going to get my cdl soon as i previously posted. still unsure about who to drive for pam, swift, or schneider. and still have not gotten any response from tdds. so i do not know wether i will go there or to one of the company sponcered training programs from the companies listed above.... i would like to know how strict they are here in ohio with passing the cdl test. and where is the easiest place to go to pass my cdl test. i will go to another state if ness. to pass. now im not saying im a bad driver, i have no accidents or tickets of any kind. i guess im just nervous or scared when it comes to being tested. im sure i can pass it but just the idea of someone sitting there watching me and judging every move i make is freekin me out! like im sre i can do it fine, with some practice and assistance, but all that goes out the window when it comes down to the test.....i guess i just need some advise on what to do to help me overcome this phobia. and where to go to pass a cdl test. i heard virginia is real easy and mass. is almost the worst. well any advise is deeply appreciated. (i need a mentor)

Look at it this way -

When I tested, I asked for the strictest examiner. I think it would be better to know *now* if I have a weakness (other than parallel parking) that I need to address. The stricter the examiner, the more likely he is to find something I need to work on.

THen, make sure you verbalize EVERYTHING in the pre-trip. I left a bunch of stuff out of my commentary (though I did check it)

The driving portion is easy, all things considered. Nothing new - you've done it any number of times in school with the instructor leaning over your shoulder. Just pretend the examiner is the instructor.

I went to TDDS.If you can, go through the workforce investment act,which will pay for your school.TDDS excepts that.If you go there,they will give you enough time to learn what you got to learn,if you have a small class.When it comes to pam,are you talkin about pam dedicated,or pam transport?If you go through pam dedicated,you can go to TDDS through driver solutions.Then you gotta stay with pam for a year..
