    I now have my CDL. I was nervous as all get out while doing the tests. But, I passed and am now looking forward to having a better job and more money then what I have now. (And yes, even at the low end of trucking pay, I will be making more)

    Yeah, one of the instructors there asked if I had butterflies, and I told him that my butterflies had butterflies. But once I was done with the yard maneuvers and we were going to the road part, I knew then I was gonna be good.

    Grats guys. I just took my tests and will pick up my permits tomorrow. I can't wait to get behind the wheel. I love working with equipment and take to it pretty quick. I am more excited than nervous. I just want to start driving these big sob's so I can get the feel for them.

    Congrats guys. I did my road test last week and was suffering from tooth pain so bad that at one point during my 10,000 step pre-trip I thought I was going to puke. I'm standing there, kind of bent over by the driver side tandems showing the examiner how I can't see any daylight between the fifth wheel and the apron, the bolt is in, handle is in, saddle bolts secure, blah blah blah and I've got one hand on the tire as I'm taking a few deep breaths trying not to get sick all over the tandems. It was all fine in the end, I passed and that's what matters. As for the tooth, it was a slight infection from some dental work the week before causing the nerves to go absolutely frigging haywire.
