    Congratulations!

    Make a note of your DOT medical expry date and make sure you get a replacment one month before. The state will automatically downgrade or take away your CDL for not having valid medical card.

    A work around would be to swear out a tier two grandfathering situation for the CDL so you can keep it. Without being able to use it in interstate or intrastate commerce until whatever medical conflicts are resolved.

    Try hauling them for a living. And not long distances either... Like short haul locals from feedyard to kill floor. You'll hate them in no time.

    You got it man. Do a good pre trip, bang out your maneuvers and give them a hell of a ride and you will be fine.

    Also, make sure the parallel box is the correct size. I went to a driving school and we had students take the test on autos and manuals. Well the auto tractors at the school are 7 feet shorter than the manuals. Well guess what, they never adjusted the box back for the manuals. I had one hell of a time getting it in the box because it was 7 feet shorter than what it should have been. Lost 5 points cus I hit 2 cones and used one too many pull ups but you get 12 points for all your maneuvers. We actually had 3 other students fail the parallel because the box was too small.

    Anyways I know you’ll do fine mine! Just put everything you learned to use at the test. And once you get to the testing site, at least for me, my nerves went away and I was focused.

    Good luck bud!
