    Check with your state first. If you have ever held a CDL in your lifetime your state may work with you that may reduce the amount of upgrading back needed.

    This is my third go around. Had to go to 'school' in '95 and again in 2015. It's definitely a PITA. A person didn't have to go to school in '82. All the schools are pretty much the same, bite your tongue and you'll be done with that part lickety split. Then on to the other tongue biting part; going out with a 'trainer.' You'll make it.

    why going to school ? take that book from DMV. Read it. Pass the test . Then ask your friend to come with his truck and do the driving test.
