    Right, good job. The requirement says CLEAR. I can see dirt on my clear windshield. I can't see dirt on my clean windshield.

    In NC it's possible to have a restricted drivers license. If you get a DWI it's possible to have a stipulation that you can still drive to work and back home only. There also can be restrictions due to child support and probation reasons. A clear or clean license is one without these restrictions.
    NC is a great choice. Sampson County is less than $500 to get your CDL and Johnson County is just under $1000. Both programs are 8 weeks long. You will learn more than any CDL mill.
    I went to Johnson County College 2 years ago. Great program. 384 hrs of instruction. 1/3 of time in classroom and 2/3 driving on road or on the practice field.

    Hard to loose control at 25mph bud;) and yes I'd rather bang up my beater than kill a dog. Like I said if I was in either of my other vehicles it would of been different.

    Yep NC is the better choice. The CC program is standardized across the state system and one of the best in the country.

    I went to Davidson county. Current cost there is around $1200. You need to plan ahead depending on the campus you may have to wait until the next available class as they fill up early. It was only 854 when I went 4 1/2 years ago but like everything else has increased in cost over time. I had 380hrs / 8 weeks and 750 miles seat time. Graduated on Friday started work the next Monday.

    Additionally they have very good contacts for hiring beyond just the usual suspects with some very good and more local companies within NC. You won't be forced to choose between the swifts and werners and trams ams of the world if you don't want to

    har har har. yes. but you weren't there. couldn't go left, straight meant dead dog..the pole i hit was one of those stupid 2ft concrete telephone marker things right on the side of the rd. not explaining the whole thing. I'm not here to defend my driving, I can drive. I race as a hobby and not in straight lines or ovals;) this was my 2nd accident ever, 1st one that was my fault.

    You made a bad decision to swerve. That's what this whole post is about. And now you feel the need to defend your driving. Its not about your beater or yor driving, but your choice to swerve and hit something else. You hit something and there is a police report about your goof.

    well thats not what this thread is about so you can drop it or keep being a ##### and I will. simple. didn't have a cdl at the time and in my beater soo why not avoid killing a neighbors dog. I like how you seem so sure of yourself in every post and obviously can't know the circumstances, thought I lost control? bye bye now
