    So wish I had good news to report. But dont have bad news either. Seams like no one can give me a straight answear on what I need to do. The way I understood the MTA was I could take the written test for the hazmat, go to them for the road test then do the background check. Get to sec of state and they say I need to do the background check first then can do the written test. But they also said if I get a chaufeers licnese or endorcement that that would suffice and I can at that point schedule a road test. And being I have my CDL already in hand I dont have to take the test for the chaufeers license just need to give em 35 bucks

    Well I went to the Sec of State ( the DMV) and got my Chauffers license. Now all Im down to from what I figure out is just getting a road test in and knocking that out of the park! So hopefully I can get a hold of someone tomorow and get my test scheduled soon :)

    To get my CDL/C The Sec Of State told me that I had to get the chauffers license so I can get the class C. So now I got to do a road test and if I pass it ill get my CDL/C

    Sounds interesting.

    I'm working on getting out of the tractor trailer and taking classes right now, but if for some reason I got in a financial bind I might try Expedite Van.

    Well Ive always been intrigued by sprinters, first time I seen one ive always wanted to drive one. And I like that compaired to a big rig ill have more freedom and not have to worry about driving a big ol rig which the more I think about it I dont think I could do it. Plus say if i get stuck somewhere for a day or two I can roam more than I could with a big rig. Granted I know ill have to run longer and harder but hey should be fun.

    I thought a chauffeur's lic. was a Class C, no road test required for a chauffeur's.

    In WI you only need a regular Class D to drive limo unless it holds over 15 passengers or is a bus. I drove limo for a while. I was one of the few that had a CDL. They tried getting me to get my passenger endorsement.
