    Heading home shortly to relax, and celebrate getting my cdl today!

    Passed with -7. Would've been -2 if not for the same truck stalling again for no apparent reason. Even the tester couldn't explain the stall. Missed 1 traffic check and I'll have to take another look at the paper for the other point. Aced skills and used the free pullup.


    Very happy :)

    good job. a pass is a pass to me. congrats on getting your cdl. i remember how nerve racking it was for me. now the real world trucking begins. pay attention and be safe. don't get in a hurry or let other hurry you. i rather you go slow and get it than hurry up and screw up.

    Hey, hey Congratulations! Good to hear you did it. Now you can take that well deserved relaxation.


    What did you lose a point for in the traffic check? What happened?

    Congrats again on a job well done.

    I finish my first week of training tomorrow. We started alley dock backing today. Finished straight line for now I think.
