    Dang, man, that sounds terrible. I am sorry to hear that you're being ###### around! No, I have not started school yet. I have about 2 more months until I do. I'm just getting everything I need lined up, including both money and research, because the trucking industry is a lot more in-depth than a thought! Been doing a fair amount of research, along with studying! Still got a bit more to do, but it should lead up until the time I start school. Studying and research is going good.

    Again, Joe, I'm sorry you're getting screwed around with.

    Did you wind up getting the WIA Grant?

    Have you thought about looking and applying to other schools?

    Well, I hope everything works out for you here very soon. Keep me posted, I'd like to know what you're learning and how your training is. By the way, did you have to re-take your permit and endorsement tests?

    You were once a trucker before, right? So I assumed at one point or another that you had your CDL Class A license. Since you're going back to school, I'm assuming that you were taking your permit test, endorsement tests, and your skills test again. That is the reasoning behind my question.

    Wouldn't it be better to take your permit test, before going to school? I know you can either way, but I thought it's less of a headache to take it prior to schooling. Anyway, the reason as to why I asked about the permit and endorsement tests and you said you had, I was gunna ask you if you took your General (core) Knowledge test, the air brakes, and the combination vehicles tests' all on the same day, or if you had to sign up to take the air brakes and combination vehicles test and pay a fee.

    This is a bit confusing, answer to question 2 would be it depends, if the school does not facilitate it than yes, the one i will be going to does, and a permit has a shelf life on it so to go and get it and not know when you would be attending school would"t be a wise choice because you mite have to do it again, make sense. I never said i had, and have no idea"r where you got that from?...........
    As far as taking them all at once or one at a time i think again asked and answered somewhere in the thread or P.M., that would be up to you, it"s a personal option.

    When the time comes yes i will take them all at once, not worried about that, the whole C.D.L. thing is in a way new to me, when i did it, it (CDL) did not exist, i make a joke of it that it was when they were numbers not letters. I ran the tri state area N.Y.,N.J.,CON.,, for a company that went out of business probably before you were borne, i think i already said this to you to, was called NewMakrk & Lewis, today you would go to P.C. Richards.
