    after we got back he had me park in the yard and then he didnt say anything....i was nervous as hell and he just sat there writing and lookin at his clipboard for like 5 minutes but it seemed like an hour.....then finally he said "you passed" and i was like fuuuuuck yea


    but good luck to you both

    Yeah, about the same thing for me. I was happy as hell when he said I passed, I wanted to jump out the window

    But good luck to you both also, and keep your wheels on the road

    Naww I stopped taking payday's calls, Man that guy is so annoying:biggrin_25510:
    Last I heard both of them were at cdl, and both of them hd failed twice. You remember that dud EJ from the advanced class? Well he was sent home for failing the test four times in a row. Rallys passed and will be in my orientation at usa, and oh yeah I leave tomorow. Was suppose to leave today but Driver solutions had me departing from the wrong state. So I called USA and they called me back in like 5 minutes and told me a new ticket has been paid for and I can leave whenever I want. So I leve tomorrow morning.:biggrin_25515:
