    I finished the written portion while attending FFE's driver academy but I left the school before I could do the driving test. So why did I get my CDL suddenly?

    Something is not right..you should not have gotten your cdl in the mail. Are you sure it's not a learners permit? Even then I wouldn't think they would mail it

    No I just checked it again for the 5th time and it says class-a and drivers license at the top. It doesn't say permit anywhere, it says restrictions: AR

    The R restriction identifies it as a permit. It means you have to have a licensed driver with you 21 years or older.
