    So i went to a recruiting deal for Schneider today. talked to the recruiting lady. Id say it went pretty good. So theres a state program that will pay for my schooling to get my cdl. one of the requirement is to get someone to say they would hire me if i got my cdl. The recruiter said she would vouch for me and even send papers if i needed them. so im excited because even if they dont hire me for some reason ill still be getting the training and cdl debt free. I still got to take my written test to get my permit, my dot medical card and a split drug test. So I have to take the general knowledge test, air brakes, and tanker endorsement. if i read my state issued manual and pay attention to what it says should have have any difficulty passing them? the written exams i mean. I am a quick learner and most the questions to me seem to be common sense, at-least on the general knowledge test. Before i got the study manual i took a general knowledge test for fun, just to see how bad off i was, I got a 66%, now that i have the book i feel very confident, should i be worried?:biggrin_25511:

    If you study, you should do fine. After all that's how it used to be done before driver training and CDL mills. Good luck.

    BTW, you have choosen wisely in both your method to get your CDL and the company in my opinion.

    Most of the CDL schools just have you read the same thing you can read for yourself. The actual driving and learning the proper, complete pretrip is what the schools are handy for.
