    I feel like a peeping Tom on this thread ( or peeping Tammy as I'm a girl) hahaha but I responding to the test taking part...for the most part I think all tests are taken on the computor at the DMV and a nice option is if yer not quite sure of an answer you can skip and come back to it and say like the Hazmat part I think mine had 30 questions and I think Ii had to get 26 or 28 right so I I actually didnt have to go back and answer the 2 I skipped hahaha it was all multiple choice so all my stressing for weeks made me laugh at testing time....I really did laugh out loud and scared 2 others in there testing also hahahah hope that helps :)

    Well for me it wasn't that it was easy but I studied my butt off but why I laughed was because it was easier then I had thought it would be and believe me I was just like everyone else...I had put so much pressure om myself that I was losing sleep and even though everyone said just to study but relax it was easier said then done..but you'll do great...just keep studying...my CcDL has been the best decission Ii ever made well besides my son :) I haven't got to be on here much in the last 2 yrs but I've enjoyed going bank and reading all old and new posts...This whole forum is a Gold mine

    I too have a Son and he is well on his way in his New Career, i was finely able to retire from the Hell i was working in to take care of the Family's i raised lol i say family's because i raised 2 children from 2 dif , exes ,, ugh thats another story ,., but im on my own now and my son is well on his way and all i have is me at this point to take care of and i am pretty cheap if i do say so my self lol so ,, i would really like to hop in a rig and not look back ,, this is always something i have wanted to do for many years , in fact i had my permit back in the mid 90's and when my boss ,,, AKA owner of the Company Found out i had a permit and was ready to hit the road i was given a new Job Title and a huge Raise ,,, so ,,,, there went that !!! lol how could i leave i was making very good money ,, but it is ,,,, was ,,, Hell on Earth of a place to work at ,, for ,,, .

    I was able to do that too until 2007 when I think some kind of Homeland Security bull$h@t went in to effect. When I tried to renew my CDL and even request an absentee ballot for elections, they refused my requests and said my address was not a residence but a business. they seem to use some kind of database now and can tell. My old PMB only used a regular street address (and no indication it was a mail service). I used it for my CDL, taxes, and everything. But no longer :(

    Ralph4159 : thanks for the Info ,,, just thought i would toss out my 2 cents, i have herd , i do not no for sure but i have herd ,,,, that ,,,, if you do not have a mailbox or place of Residence you can go to your local S.S. OFFICE and they will give you a Mailbox there ,, and its free ! so i have herd ,.,, don't hold me to it but maybe its worth looking into .
