    I finally got my CDL today after 7 weeks of school. I would have been done in the 6 that are advertised but the DMV did not have any openings that week. I start the WS orientation on the 6th and like others, I hope to keep this thread updated with how things are going and what Im doing.

    I would like to keep it as updated as AT's thread but I doubt that will happen.

    Thank you and yes. The examiner told me that I was a natural and that I belonged driving trucks. I got 100% on the skills, road and 6 point breaks and only missed "the mirrors are adjusted to me" on the in cab inspection (that examiner was more concerned about selling his stocks than listening to me at the time).

    This is one of 2 reasons I picked this company. Second was its very hard to find a complaint or unhappy driver.

    This forum has helped me out so much, without it I would have gone to heavy equipment school. That would have been fine if it was sunny out 365 days a year.
