Can you help me understand my CDL A?

Yeah, just "ANOTHER" reason why I want to leave this state they ALWAYS seem to somehow screw me in some type of way, but yeah I will be up and out in the morning to get this taken care of and it better not cost me ANY money, but knowing this crooked a55 state it will...

Thanks for the info CAXPT...

Ohh and by the way I wish the would tell me it's a GDL at age 31 I don't think I need my parents signature for anything lol

 

Well, if you just took driving lessons, that could be why. I'm not sure, you haven't been totally forthcoming...I had to guess at most of the parameters that you were mentioning, but if you just got your license...because you just learned to drive, that would be the reason. If you were just getting a license you let lapse..or changed from another state, then something went wrong in the interim....because I've been driving since 16 and never let it lapse.

The state isn't so bad.

Good Luck.

 

Not sure if you heard of Coast 2 Coast in Marine City, but that's where I went to school and graduated 8/10 of this year. I don't owe any tickets nor am I on any type of probation tho I am just starting out and I have never let my license lapse so I don't know.

Not sure what's going on, but I will update tomorrow.

 

Hmmmm maybe that's how they do CDL Learner Permits now. See I've had a chauffer's forever and grandfathered my experience in when the federal CDL came along back in 1992(?), since then the most I have to do is pass the Hazmat endorsement test to renew, so I have NO idea what the new system is, that's why it threw me initially. I thought I knew all about the state's system....wrong. (just enjoying a little crow here hmm, hmm good. )

C2C, eh? Hmmmmm Haven't heard of them till now....especially since their CSA shows insufficient data to rate them...it looks like they are a brand new "entity" with no prior history. I'll have to check them out closer myself.

Anyway, looking foward to hearing about the situation when you get it straightened out. I suspect if you passed the school, then that's why you are at that license level and it may or may not cost you any additional money, since I read somewhere researching for you that there is no cost for upgrading the different levels of training but that may have been for the high school driver and not the CDL. I'll let the state clear that up for you tomorrow.

Oh by the way, thanks for asking, since I've just learned something new too....more to learn.,..sigh

Good Luck.

 

So, an early morning update...

The reason my License don't say "CA" on it is because I don't have the chauffeurs endorsement on it, but when I paid for it the lady said "it's automatically upgraded" which is a lie.

So now I stand here in line getting ready to pay $50 for them to fix their screw up!!

 

Don't you just love those 'crats? (I mean bureaucrats, not democrats). . .

 

In this state, Don, they tend to be the same thing.

 

Yeah, sorry to hear that CWiLL, I kind of had a feeling...something was amiss. But.....at least now you will have the real thing so thanks again for asking and setting it straight for all of us. Now we both can answer people from Michigan about that ...stuff.

You take the early shift, I sleep late now that I'm not on the road, of course before my dispatchers woke up and reported for work I was sleeping in anyway...oh yeah, that's how that started.
