ROEHL BOUND... June 14th... Relief and excitement!

After you pass the road test and go to the DMV to get your license you will have to look into a box and read a line and identify road signs and the peripheral vision. I didn't have to get a Wisconsin license. Just had to bring my test results back to my state and get mine here. That's not the case with everyone just depends on your home state. In any event you have to go through a vision check again.

 

Probably irrelevant, but in NC once you have your CDL permit there are no further tests to take to get your CDL other than the road test and any endorsements you want to add.

SAGE trucking school has a DOT-certified 3rd party examiner come to the school and give us our road test. If you pass, he gives you your results in a sealed envelope to take to the DMV. You hand it in at the DMV and they key in the scores. At that point, you let them know if you want to take the tests for any additional endorsements. Next, "Show them the money!" Bureaucrats gotta eat...or do they. Snap another picture and you're out the door. Again, this was the routine in NC.

HINDSY, I know you're going through their school for new drivers, but by chance do you know what the orientation is like for recent school graduates? I'm leaning towards Roehl more and more each day. I like their excellent safety rating and overall comments on this site are favorable for Roehl.

 

Turns out I have to sink $350 in new glasses. Who would have thought they could change so much in 3 yrs that I would have trouble seeing the DMV eye test right column (I nailed the left and center columns). At least I have two 1/2 weeks until class starts.

 

What about the poor people on the side walk Hindsy?

Shouldn't we be saying prayers for them instead?

Good luck, and keep the updates coming.

 

Glad things are going well hindsy! I been driving almost 3 years. If ur tandems are in a different place everytime u back,it changes the way it backs. Some days its cake to back. Some days I feel like a rookie...lol. Hope it keeps going well for ya!!

 

Did you ever find out if we take an eye exam at the WI DMV? I keep hearing conflicting stories. Thanks! Some say we just take the driving test and bring the paperwork back home, some say we do it all in WI.

 

I did.

 

Why don't you just call them and ask them yourself?
