CFI Driver's What's Your 20? (2017 edition)

Really need this confirmation ASAP guys. Do I have to be in Florida where I’m from to add and apply for the hazmat endorsement? I keep hearing that it’s federal so shouldn’t I be able to go

I think the only way to get this answered with 100% accuracy would be to call your DMV in Florida or Missouri dmv. I would I anyone you could get it done anywhere since we had people at my truck driving school studying for hazmat, doubles and triples, testing it in Missouri and then Missouri transferred it back to their home states. But again, the only reliable source for this info would be DMV.

 

Since I have no experience, I do pay attention to the compliments a driver may make towards a company they have actually worked for. I also try to remain objective when it comes to negative comments about one too. There are so many variables as to why a driver feels the way they do about their company. I pay no attention to people who have never driven for a company. How would they know anything?

So finished orientation today. Called my finisher and hes in Colorado Springs. Should be heading out. No later than Monday

 

I've been told I have been entered in the tanker division for the championship. I practiced a little with a day cab but we don't have any short trailers around.

Ran the obstacle course with the tendems pretty far up...then worked on backing with them all the way back... I'll practice more in the coming months. Trying to simulate a tanker.

This will be interesting but looking forward to it.
