Dirt bike, Honda CRF 250X. Nothing like riding through a canyon in the Utah desert at 50 MPH with boulders all around.

I'm frustrated with the rules too, I think they should be a lot more stringent, but it is what it is. And I guess if the economy improves, the bar...
Dick is a champ. Most others in his situation started whining day 1, and rolled over within a week. Whatever the Swift deal is, he's out there...
I went to the DMV this morning, tested for CDL A, combinations, air brakes, doubles/triples, tankers, hazmat...passed all on the first go-round....
Postings here are a good example of the "winner vs. loser" mentality of trucking. Losers have things happen to them, and then sit around whining...

I'm at a community college, and in a three month course, only four days is spent getting ready for the written test. Once we have our permits, all...
NM, already there in dieselbear's post.
What you will do at your school to get your permit will depend on the school. The school I'm attending does not do videos or practice tests....
