    From what I understand, he had a b, and it expired, never renewed and now is retaking it. His job requires b for the equipment he drives.

    Second scenario:

    He never had a b, job promoted him to a position he has to drive b class vehicles. Now he's taking the test.

    Third scenario:

    The op is the one testing and is using multiple identities to score some insight on a test they forgot to study for. Procrastinated, and continued to not study.

    Take your pick.

    Absolutely time was of the essence here.. also with his work hours..there was NO WAY he could even take a Class A school around here.. all they offer is daylight hours & weekends.. Believe me.. I called everyone in the book and online... he works daylight AND weekends.. and if he didn't get this class B soon.. he'd be let go... he was #### lucky none of the men under him had a class B.. or he woudl be laid off right now !!.

    It was completely not an option for him at this point in time..keeping his good paying job..it's worth a MINT...we have 6 kids.. 2 in college this year..

    This is a really good pretrip video for your husband to watch.

    This kinda makes me ehh, about your husband's capabilities to perform a basic PTI. I mean you say he is mechanically gifted but doesn't know what dip stick he's looking at?

    I'm seriously not trying to be an arse, but come on. Vehicles are the same in and out. Some just have more components.

    If you take a regular medical doctor specializing in general human surgery, your telling me they won't be able to operate on an animal in general surgery.

    This isn't rocket science, you both need to relax and read the state cdl manual, every state has one. Nothing has really changed in years, nothing other than a few maneuvers and maybe an added question but seriously.

    This test is easy, it takes a few minutes and there is a sheet in almost all the cdl manuals that tell you what is going to be asked, again read the manual.

    Question though.... he has the Big yellow School bus Drivers Manual.. and the Regular CDL manual.. which one is he supposed to go by ?? I was looking through the Pretrip in the Yellow school bus manual.. My Lord.. if one is going by mentioning all the stuff they say in there.. well i's outrageous... now if I/ we compare what is written in this book to ,.....to let's say...the 5 sheet hand out that the other school bus place handed my husband.. it's not that excessive.. so again... not sure what the h*ll they expect... husband read he needs to shake every seat on the bus to make sure it's secure.. TRUE?
