    Well today was my 1st day at the school. It went pretty good and I don't have to come back until Wed, because I already have my CDL permit. We got a nice overview of whats coming in next 4 weeks and a whole bunch of stuff like books, atlas, etc.

    I was surprised to see a few guys that didn't even know what to do to get the CDL permit or how much it would cost. The school gives you a packet with a lot of info when you initially sign up that pretty much breaks it down step-by-step. If they really want to get a CDL, I would expect them to take it a bit more seriously IMO.

    Wow I can't believe 4 weeks passes so fast already! Today was our state test day and the last day of school. I've had a great time learning how to safely drive a truck. The instructors were very informative, patient and would answers any questions we had. I would highly recommend this school based on my experience. I'm really looking forward to my near future when I start my career as a professional truck driver.
