    Sim test done. Score of 99 and done in 12 minutes. They give you 20 minutes to complete the test which is drive to a walmart and back it in. Get my truck today and will hopefully be able to post pictures.

    If you have been on unemployment you should qualify for federally funded training, probably at a local community college. You should check that out before paying someone for the CDL training.

    That is my plan, been over 25 years since I drove a commercial vehicle any distance, I'm looking forward to getting a license before selecting a company, but Prime looks very good. TransAm is another possible.

    Holy Crap! Was there an accident? That seems pretty harsh for a minor ticket.

    yea I tap the van's bumper under 5 mph my girl was going into labor when I was shopping at Wal-mart and she called 911 then called me so I rushed over to the Hospital and right before I got to the hospital I tap a ladys bumper. But Stevens Transport will take me :biggrin_25523:

    I'll be very interested in how it works out with Stevens. From the outside looking in seems like kinda low pay, but you do get to drive a pretty comfortable rig.
