    To whom it may concern I don't think this pawpaw is the same pawpaw that I talked about. The pawpaw I saw was much older than this pawpaw.:biggrin_25512:

    I like Mango better than Paw Paw. Of course living in Australia I could do that. LOL.

    I know a couple people that have had to re-test. Not in TN, but over here in WA. They do that on a random basis here. What a pain in the arse, ay? Glad to hear that it went well for you. Glad I've left Swift. Was a good opportunity at the time, but they're really going downhill fast...er.

    From what I have read on a ripoff website. There's lots of people saying their CDL's were getting suspended, I went to Millington driving school with Swift never worked for the company. Did not have a trainer quick enough. I also did not want to sit around for two or three weeks waiting for one. It was in Oct 03 when I was there. It seemed to be strait forward but things have changed I guess. They are still bring in students last I heard.

    I just found this on the State of Tennessee website - the first official notice from that state that I've found:

    You're Welcome!

    Just to re-state, I neglected to mention that was for straight truck in that posting.

    Just remember if you drive tractor-trailer to add the items specific to a combination vehicle! (Fifth wheel/kingpin, tandem axles, etc)

    I am one who recieved that certified letter on the 23rd of december. i took my written exams and passed on the 2nd and was scheduled a road test on the 20th. i had to beg my boss to allow me a tractor and trailler for that day, costing $170. i picked it up at 7am and never got out of ryder until after 8 after getting lights fixed. mind you i hadnt driven in almost two years. i was at the test site at 10:30 am and passed on one of the snowiest days of the year up here in western ny. i dont know if this helps you but this is my story
     
    tony282003 Thanks this.
